Heismanpundit

Ugh, another abysmal week last week picking against the spread.  I went just 3-7 and am now 16-23-1 on the year versus the line. On a positive note, I feel really good about this week’s lines and think I can make up some ground.  These are the games I think are the best picks of [...]

One of the weird anomalies in college football is the fact that, despite being one of the top three or four programs of all time, Alabama has yet to win a Heisman. Now, there are a few who think this might be the result of some sort of bias against Southern football.  But a closer look at [...]

In looking at some of the comments on this site and elsewhere, many seem to think it is a fait accompli that Tim Tebow merely has to show up for games in order to be awarded the Heisman. I do grant that he is a larger-than-life presence on the college football landscape and that he has, [...]

Critics of the spread offense often cite quarterback safety as an important reason to stick to pro-style offenses, but I think it is worthy to note that Tim Tebow didn’t get hurt running the option, but while dropping back in the pocket.

From Pat Forde at ESPN.com: “The Fighting Irish have played three straight games that were tighter than Terrence Cody in a Mini Cooper.”

You have to wonder if ‘Dr. Saturday’ is even watching the games, as he makes the case here that USC’s current offensive problems are basically about turnovers and penalties. No mention that the numbers put up so far have been against the weakest part of the Trojan schedule.  USC is averaging 19.3 ppg the last three games and [...]

Former Georgia running back Herschel Walker, the 1982 Heisman Trophy winner, has decided to make a move into the sordid world of mixed martial arts.  I’m not one to doubt the athletic talents of this guy, who after all rushed for 5,259 yards in his three-year college career, was an All-American in track (top 100m time, [...]

…has finally been redesigned and updated after years of neglect. The new site is quite handsome looking, though I would change the tagline from ‘The Most Prestigious Award in College Football’ to ‘The Most Prestigious Award in Sports.’ It’s true.  Most people who follow sports can name the Heisman Trophy winner, but can’t name the [...]

Week 4 of the HP Fantasy Challenge is in the books and, once again, team Anderson is in the lead.  I encourage those of you who are well back in the race to stick with it as sometimes participants surge toward the end as they get to the more productive players on the roster.  Also, keep in mind that a full three [...]
