Suh Heisman Website

I would do whatever I possibly could to help support this! Count me in and let me know whatever I can do to help with this.

 
What does everyone think of this? I might be able to code it myself but I would probably need some help, and we would need someone to make a highlight video as well.

I would be weary of hosting the site just because of the bandwidth due to the number of visitors. That could be bad news for my server.... for the next several months. I will check into this though.

 
LoMS, that's a good design. As far as coding goes, if you can "acquire" Adobe Dreamweaver, it should be a breeze.

I'd love to get involved with something like this if I had the time. I used to do web & graphic design for a living back in the day...and still freelance a bit.

Well, that was a waste of a post. :dumdum

 
I wonder if any of the media outlets or university would supply some royalty free images for a legitimate site...

I was thinking something like this for a splash page...with some flash animation and better imagery of Suh:

I really think a good song or theme would be from Cold Play..Viva la Vida. If you listent to the words...it makes sense.

Not a very good idea. Doing stuff like streaming songs not only would up the bandwidth requirements for serving some sort of site drastically, but then you run into issues with copyright. Same problem you are going to run into with images.

It's probably best to let the university worry about a campaign on stuff like this, and they supposedly had a policy about not promoting individuals for awards since its a team game.

No website is going to get someone to vote for a Heisman candidate. Quite frankly Nebraska needs to keep winning and Suh needs to just keep playing consistently at a superman like level and have a late season nationally televised statement game or two to have the media take care of all this on its own.

That said, he'll have his work cut out for him since Jesus is playing in the SEC still... but, I'd take notice of how there is no tebow4heisman.com (well there is tebowheisman.com, but its a parody blog). No legitimate contender needs a flashy web page to pretend they are in the running for the award. Eric Berry does.

:yeah

All this talk makes me think of "chasetheheisman.com" from last year and we saw how well that worked. Although the website ideas look pretty cool when you really look at it the on field product is going to determain the outcome not any one webiste
