What happened to the Heisman?

Like most of you, I was watching the Oregon vs. Arizona game last night and saw Dennis Dixon go down with an injury, which basically ended any type of offense the Ducks had the rest of the night. They showed a stat in the 3rd quarter that said before his injury Oregon's offense averaged 9.3 yards per down, after the injury it was 3.0. That brought up a couple questions for me. First, is Dixon really that good? And is Oregon's offense really that bad without him? Maybe he does deserve the Heisman.

While I was thinking about this, ESPN went to commercial, and what are they advertising? It's a ad campaign for Dixon for Heisman. Really?!?! Is that what this award has become? Are the leading candidates going to start mudslinging? Do they have to go out and kiss babies and shake hands with voters? I remember thinking the Times Square ad was in poor taste, but a national television ad? I'm officially off the Dennis Dixon for Heisman campaign, and it has nothing to do with him, his performance, or his injury. It's the University of Oregon's Athletic department for buying the ad and trying to buy the school a Heisman trophy, again.  

Glenn Dorsey for Heisman!! Or whoever else isn't playing for Oregon.

ABOUT ME


lb_ice_dogs
I'm an avid sport fan, but I'm a college football fan first. I'm a Iowa Hawkeyes, Dallas Cowboys, Chicago Bulls, and LA Angels fan. I also love the UFC, and think boxing is a dying sport. I'm a horrible golfer, but I like to drink while driving a golf cart and the golf course is the only place that lets me do that. I live in Milwaukee now after living in Iowa and Long Beach, CA. And without a doubt, Wisconsin people are the undisputable kings of tailgating. Even Brewer games people tailgate like it's a college bowl game.
