HuskerMoon Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 It should be interesting. I guess I'll be watching the Heisman show Saturday night afterall. Quote Link to comment
SOCALHUSKER Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Assuming its legit... Suh 20 1st place votes Gerheart 8 1st place votes McCoy 7 1st place votes Ingram 3 1st place votes Tebow 3 1st place votes That's not the problem. The problem is that Gerhart is pretty much everyone's #2, while Suh is either getting first place votes or really no votes. Gerhart has has 15 #2 & #3 votes. Suh has 8. That's where he'll lose it. But Suh still has more votes. If he continues to receive and in the end receives more votes, the difference between 2's and 3's won't matter. Quote Link to comment
SOCALHUSKER Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Looks like Suh should have the ESPN/Nissan vote also. The poll is now closed and the results are pretty overwhelmingly in his favor. Quote Link to comment
JTrain Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 I think it might surprise you how many voters simply will not put a defensive player on their ballot. So many of these Heisman voters watch very few games and have zero critical thinking skills. I was listening to a Iowa radio show last night and an old loon was talking about his Heisman vote. Here were his "thoughts": 1. "I just handed in my Heisman vote, and I put Mark Ingram #1, Gerhart #2" 2. Gerhart is the best player in the country by far. If he were playing for any of the major programs like USC, Florida, Bama, Ohio St., etc. he would win the Heisman by a landslide. He also didn't know what Suh's name was. The other host asked him if he put Suh 3rd and he didn't seem to remember who he put third, if anyone. He sort of hesitated and mumbled and then said that Suh was the best player in the country. WHAT!!? So to sum up his thoughts, He voted for Ingram, Gerhart is the best player in the country by far, and Suh is the best player in the country. Yes, this is the type of person who decides the Heisman. I think Suh will get plenty of votes, but I think Ingram probably wins. Just seems like there is a good chunk of voters who barely know of Gerhart. Apparently Danny Wuerffel was interviewed and said something to the effect of, "I hear the running back for Stanford is pretty good." I don't know if he revealed his vote, but I would guess it's probably: Tebow, Ingram, McCoy. Like we've said all along, I'll be happy to see Suh get an invite. I don't see him finishing in the top 3, but I think there's a good chance he's 4th. Quote Link to comment

I might not understand what you are saying . . . but the number of first place votes isn't all that matters. I believe that the second and third place votes also go towards your total. Suh could easily have the most first place votes and not win. Quote Link to comment
JTrain Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Wow, this is getting interesting... It looks like one thing is for sure at this point: Tebow and Spiller will not get invites to NYC. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 He should win. He probably will not win. He had damned well better get an invite to New York. Quote Link to comment
Yellowjacketfan Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Suh deserves it. Ingram will win it. Not fair at all. I will only believe Suh has a legit shot after I see the final results. Even if he is invited to New York I will not be sold. Quote Link to comment
JTrain Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 "Once we get upwards of 50 ballots, it'll start to take shape. Once we're over 100 ballots, it'll start to look real." There are now 79 actual votes counted. If Suh is still hanging around after another 20-30 come in, he might actually have a chance to finish in the top two. Quote Link to comment
CENTEXHUSKER Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 If the guy with the most first place votes (Suh)does not get invited, I will smash my 4th grade tee-ball runner up trophy in protest.... Quote Link to comment
carlfense Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 My prediction: Suh leads at 5:00PM ET today. After an official review, 1 ballot is added to the total and Suh comes in second. Quote Link to comment
epocSoN Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 I'm still inpressed that hes leading the race... amazing stuff. I know he most likely won't win, be it looks like he is at least going to walk away in second place, and thats a BIG statement to the college football world. Quote Link to comment
