Heisman drum roll............

[2Stater]

What an honor for such a great, hard working young man. As part of Bama Nation, I am so proud of what Derrick has accomplished. I had tears in my eyes watching his family go crazy after his name was announced, and his grandmother watching from her hospital bed. Congrats King Henry!!

Oh, and I guess we should start officially referring to him as HTWKH now?

Vern will be missed when he decides to hang it up. Comedians have paid big money to learn how to be funny but with Vern, it just comes naturally. He would have been a perfect match for Junior Samples on Hee Haw.

Sophocles?

Don't you mean this guy:

 "Homeric" or "Homerus"


aka "Homer" the Greek poet

Ah, I'm accustomed to seeing Homer portrayed older and more disheveled, whereas this resembles the Sophocles bust.

I think maybe Homer and Sophocles hung out together , maybe went to a ball game and
had a couple of beers or something ... cruised for chicks and stuff probably too .

I'm happy for Henry but really feel personally that Stanford 's guy deserved it more...

I'm pretty much set against awarding the Heisman to a sophomore.  It mostly is a bad thing for a college kid to win and then come back another year.

I thought both players had impressive resumes, and in any other year McC would probably win it for breaking Barry Sanders' record.  But Henry is simply a better RB than McC, with a higher ypc, higher yac, and 10 more TDs, all the while playing in a league where the defenses are designed to stop the run first.  Having a better resume than Bo Jackson and Hershel Walker doesn't hurt either.  Apparently Henry is a good receiver as well, but Bama doesn't use him that way as mostly he is a decoy on the play action, with Bama's talented WRs able to carry the receiving load.  And no one wants to see Henry return kicks and risk getting hurt, unless it comes down to the wire in a championship game.  The Heisman is about more than stats, and I think Henry exemplifies everything that statue is supposed to recognize.  It's an old award, and Henry plays old school football like no other.

I can agree with this especially.  I guess after Johnny Manziel and J. Winston getting the Heisman giving it to Henry tends to turn the integrity back toward where it should be, huh?

They may not ever be able to get that stink off the award.

The other thing mentioned is defenses faced.  One of the ESPN guys, maybe Dez Howard, said after seeing McC against Northwestern he wasn't impressed.  McC had 66 rushing yard in that game, 94 v. Notre Dame.  Those might have been the toughest defenses Stanford faced.  Not too impressive considering Henry's rushing against tougher defenses.
