If everyone voted for local players wouldn't the Heisman go to a player in area with the most Heisman voters?
How was KB shown to be wrong on Colt?
I hope this site doesn't turn into orangebloods; that's would the OP sounds like - IMO.

Wow you don't think Colt deserved the Heisman in 2008 or 2009?

Bohls also said the Big 12 would only get one team in a BCS game. But said the Big 10 would get two. Has he even looked at BCS standings?

How could Bohls watch Vince for 3 years and still vote Bush for the Heisman ?
That defies logic.

In 2009, no. I would have voted for Suh if I had a vote.

But Jeff I said or ................who was the best player in 2008? Who beat in the only head to head competition the Heisman winner when his team was heavily favored?

I understand your argument, but it's not Kirk's job to vote for the home town guy.
The fact that he's still getting hate mail for not voting for VY is ridiculous.

It's a dying industry, it is probably pretty easy to keep a job.

More so a dying people intellectually and un or ill informed, dumbed-down. Wants everything at a press of a button or screen. Doesn't read, and read to challenge one's ability.

I don't think he voted for Colt in 2008 but I agree the hate mail stuff is stupid. I have 2 thoughts:
- I have met Kirk Bohls on a couple of occasions. When in high school and college I worked for the Texas Rangers in the press box. I was a glorified errand boy. I met many writers, radio and TV people. Bohls was a nice guy period............I couldn't say a bad word about him personally. So for me this is not personal at all.
-However, I have a big issue with the press when they play the critic but can't take it when readers question their opinions or coverage of the facts/story. An example is when Bohls came very close to saying Rick Barnes should be fired during the 2009-2010 season. When taken to task by the ESPN folks on national TV and several readers he was offended and acted childish.

No, I don't. Wished he won it both those years.
Still doesn't answer "In both cases he was shown to be clearly wrong. " What is the proof? Other than your opinion.

Read my post
#1 he beat the Heisman winner in 2008 on a neutral field when the other guy was favored.
#2 He played the year with no TE, average OL, 2 quality WR
#3 OU had more weapons on offense........Colt was the Texas offense.
I really don't know what to say if you think Bradford was better...........I guess your definition of clearly is different than mine.
