Exactly...NBC needs to throw some cash at Costas. And we all need to hope the Steelers win the Super Bowl...then NBC can throw some cash at Bettis.

But Davie would be horrible...lol.

Yeah, but a lot of the Heisman race is run the year before. Unless they get injured, I think Reggie Bush, Adrian Peterson, and "The Other" Vince Young have to be considered the favorites for next year. I think we have a better chance of signing Bob Costas (if he'd be interested in the job), than Brady winning the Heisman next season.

You guys are forgetting too, you don't just have to be very good to win the Heisman, but you have to be on a very VERY good team usually. I may be mistaken, but I don't think anyone's ever won the Heisman on a team w/ more than 2 losses. The team as a whole would have to improve a lot next year for Quinn to have a chance. I know they're going to improve, I just don't know that they're going to improve from 6-5 to 9-2 or 10-1 in one season.

Paul Hornung won it on a losing Irish squad 2-8 Notre Dame in 1956

I think the problem is that the Heisman trophy used to be an award for the best player in the country.

Today it goes to the best player on the team most likely to win the national title. Huge difference. Today's pop wisdom says if you're a great player then you must hold the entire team up. And if you don't, you're obviously not that good.

This is also why the trophy is now biased toward quarterbacks. It is much harder for any other position to win it.

I think it would be great to have davie in the booth.Just to see him stutter when ND gets back to winning.There wasn't a sports show he wouldn't go on to tell everyone how hard it is at ND.He could not do it so nobody can.I wish they would have talked to Holtz when everything went down.But then the story would not have been as good.hell put Ty,davie,and mark may in the booth.The Irish dream team. :clover:

I'd actually enjoy Mark May in the booth...he's actually good despite his views on "Willingham-Gate". Ty's too laid back to be a good announcer. And If Davie was in the booth, I'd switch to the radio broadcasts.

Hey can i get exicted again r u saying something against Willingham....No i understand what u r saying I know from here and other places that one of the minor reasons he was not liked was because of his attitude unlike Holtz's
