From the New York Times here .
Four Stanford graduates have become Supreme Court justices since the football team produced its only Heisman Trophy winner, Jim Plunkett, in 1970. Into this yawning gap burst Toby Gerhart , a senior tailback, who has insinuated himself into the Heisman ...

Purdue’s Leroy Keyes might be one of the best players to almost win a Heisman.
The two way player (RB-CB) finished third in the 1967 balloting behind Gary Beban and O.J. Simpson, but his 278 first-place votes and 1,366 total points were the most ever by a third-place finisher until Tim ...

People in L.A. are still obsessing over Jim Harbaugh’s decision to go for two when up by 27 points against USC last Saturday. Why talk about the meltdown that is occurring on both sides of the ball at USC when you can harp on a decision that, in the scheme of things, is meaningless?

I’ve was asked recently if the Heisman ceremony will include the more traditional number of five finalists this year, due to the race being so wide open.
I actually do think there’s a great chance we have five finalists this year: Mark Ingram, Colt McCoy, Toby Gerhart, C.J. ...

In 1942, Georgia’s Frank Sinkwich did not receive a trophy as wartime restrictions precluded the use of metal. Downtown Athletic Club members were asked to contribute scrap metal to make one. Instead, Sinkwich and runner-up Paul Governali of Columbia received certificates (this was the ...

It’s been surprising to see the sudden emergence of so many running backs in this year’s Heisman race. Even more interesting is that they all play for non-traditional Heisman powers.
To wit:
Clemson has never had a player finish in the top 10 of the Heisman vote.
Stanford has ...

But in 2009, running backs are resurgent–at least when it comes to the Heisman race.

You would think that going 2-8 last week against the spread would dissuade me from making further picks. But no, I am a masochist and, despite a 41-58-1 record on the year, I will try again. As usual, proceed with caution!
