Heisman 2009

Heisman Trophy 2009 – The Final Five

The Heisman Trophy 2009 has been heavily debated all year, for good and bad. Mostly, the 2009 Heisman Trophy race was defined by having no favorites, and no sure nominees. Once Sam Bradford and Tim Tebow slipped up, the award was wide open to almost anyone. Today, the Heisman Trophy 2009 can only be given to one of five finalists, who can now officially book trips to New York. The five finalists were named on ESPN at 6 p.m. est, and will appear at the Downtown Athletic Club on Saturday night. In such a wide open year, each of the five have a good case to make, so it is still anyone's game.

The Heisman Dilemma – Tebow Obsession

Can someone please tell me how Tim Tebow is a legitimate Heisman contender? I could care less that his team is 9-0, or that his team is ranked No. 1, or that he’s the best player on his team. The only explanation is the ESPN love-fest with Tebow and the SEC in general.
