Tyler James just tweeted something like:
Scary to think what a purely defensive player would have to do to win the Heisman

He is right...
Part of me thinks Bama would have felt better if Manti won...just ticked off all NDNation..need somebody to take it out on

So when Johnny is finally charged with his crime will he be stripped of the Heisman?

Um, no.

Because he won't be charged anyway. But if he was, the award has nothing to do with his off-field activities, anyway.

I just know that the last 3 times that ND has won the Maxwell, they have lost the Heisman in appalling fashion.

Rocket, Brady and Manti were ALL better than the Heisman winners for their respective years.

I think that the Heisman trust should just explicitly state that it is for offensive players only now. Because this was a frigging travesty.

Manti is the most decorated college football player of all-time. This will be fuel to the fire and the last chance to shut the SEC up as a whole. They want to claim victory as a conference..now they can claim defeat as a conference. ND can single handedly knock the SEC to the ground and with Ohio State making a resurgence, the mid-west can take back college ball and shut the south down.

I've spent a great deal of time over the past several decades laughing and shaking my head at some of the Heisman winners... It's not as funny when it hits this close to home.

I can't get past the fact that Manziel had horrible second halves in his teams two losses, but that was all completely forgotten after a great game against 'Bama.

Is that sour grapes? Maybe; I don't care... I'm pissed!

Blows my mind, the heisman voting is a joke. There is more substance to the walter camp award.

Y'all have had a great season and Manti is an incredible player and individual. Nothing at all to be ashamed of. Keep your heads up!

Again, simply making the ceremony is about the highest honor a defensive player can achieve when it comes to the Heisman.

Only because they never EVER have a chance. Which is just a joke.

To think that you have to feel honored just to be considered for it when you have absolutely no shot at it is a joke.

Just come out and say it Heisman trust...you will NEVER EVER give the award to a defensive player.

He made a mistake and we don't know the details. We sound just like the haters saying ND has a rapist on their team.

"Manziel feels redeemed after an offseason incident. He was cited after a fight outside a bar and for giving a policeman a fake ID. The details eventually emerged. This year's Heisman winner had to undergo drug and alcohol counseling and his subject to random drug testing, according to the New York Times."

Since the haters haven't had much fuel this year, it's great to see them celebrating Manti's loss over Manziel's win. Stay classy...

If Manti can't win this award, no defensive player will ever win it. Book it.

I'm actually sick to my stomach over this.

Wow, do I hate the SEC. I hope Oklahoma destroys A&M almost as much as I want the Irish to crush Bama.

It's total blasphemy for the heisman that Teo was there,he's more a leader than a total player deserving.Joke.

What's truly blasphemous is a pathetic little "Never Going to Be Anything, Never Going to do Anything" loser hiding behind the anonymity of the Internet, trying to give himself a masturbatory thrill by trolling... There may be something more pathetic in life, but probably not.

Oh yea, "Leadership" is one of the most revered tenets of the Heisman. However, being clearly illiterate, you wouldn't be able to read and gain that information.

Ryan Shazier and Jarvis Jones were more deserving.

Because they ply on worse teams that need to make more tackles?? You know that's what you are saying when you bring up stats right???... Probably can't even read this, so why am I bothering...

Wow, you guys are nuts, they win and they still complain

Guys, don't let a few douches form your opinion of A&M. The overwhelming majority of us would only want to say that even though he didn't win it, Manti is a great player on a great team. Nothing but respect for your program!

He's made out to be cause he plays for a program that has sucked for a long time and brought leadership.

A program that is still in the top fifteen programs by most statistical measures even DURING the period where they supposedly sucked.... Facts are hard on haters...

I'm going to guess none of us would have complained if Floyd had won the Heisman last year.

You're the ONLY SEC person that hasn't made an account on IE to bash us. Thanks man. Welcome to the site

It's all good you guys...I had a dream about a week ago that Manti had a game sealing pick against Alabama which he also returned to the house and struck the heisman pose to just sh*t on everybody who didn't vote for him...Me, Manti, and everybody on this board would much rather have that BCS Championship...Manti, the rest of the players, and the coaching staff will just use this as extra motivation to finally get the respect we deserve!

Let's think about this. How can one person get more awards in one year than anyone has ever had, and not be the most outstanding player in that same year?

Congrats to Manziel, not his fault and he had a hell of a season. Also, special thanks to the heisman voters, you've just pissed off the #1 team in land.

Onward to victory!
