Official Klein for Heisman (Kleinsman) Thread

[kso_FAN]

At minimum, he needs to have a Texas Tech type game. Would be really nice for a West Virginia type game. He's still in the running though.

I think he'll be fine if we beat Texas. He's white, christian, and not a freshman. Most of the tuck voters will like that.

I am thinking the same for Klein...I want him to win on his abilities but with a solid win against Texas I think the above will help him pull ahead and win..

Black players won each of the last two Heismans over the same white QB (Luck), so maybe the voters aren't as as you think

Nobody else in this year's Heisman race comes close to what those 2 did each of their years.

JFC, it's not GPC casting votes, people...

Guys I'm pretty sure it all happened because we talked about lightning bolts.

Shouldn't have.  That was KSU v KSU discussion, time line wise.

I've never paid much attention to the Heisman because it's always bullshit, but I don't ever remember someone who no one had heard of before the season ever winning.  You have to have a little momentum going in.  So, I'll be a little butthurt if Manzeil wins over Klein.

Troy Davis deserved the Heisman for Iowa State way back when. What he did on those teams was incredible. They might have won 5 games in his career

I agree with Chum, the Heisman voting is complete bullshit.

 I'm surprised how much I got caught up in it the last few weeks, and probably will again if Klein climbs back in it.

I'm also surprised nobody's talking about Manzeil's transgressions........isn't there some bullshit 'character aspect' to the Heisman?

[mjrod]

Eric Crouch won the award in 2001 despite nubb losing to Colorado big time the week before the vote.

There is, but maybe you haven't noticed how much people like saying "Johnny Football"?

In 2001, I'd wager that a significant portion of the electorate had already MAILED (i.e. US Postal Service) before that game.

Might actually be true this year as well.

[ArchE_Cat]

Most years about 1/3 of the voters have already voted prior to this past weekend in the season.

I recall hearing a few tv morons spewing butthurt about it, I have no idea how true it is.

Well it helps when you play for NU.

NU also went ahead and played for a national championship. Something tells me that's not going to happen for K-State, either.
