Troy Smith Heisman acceptance

This is an addition to Austin's post. And also to point out something else I saw online.

I was impressed by how dapper Troy Smith looked as he accepted the Heisman. The three piece suit is a nice touch with the red and white tie and the red pinstriped grey suit. A subtle but thoughtful ode to Ohio State. Maybe coaches need to look at this picture and inspire their own wardrobes. Bright orange suit coats? At least Weber tried. Look at these. Sampson with Oklahoma. Sampson with Indiana. I guess they'd have to pay him more to wear a different tie.

I would agree with what's being said about the Heisman and the Maxwell. I think the Maxwell usually goes to the assumed second place in the Heisman voting. How did two awards come about, anyway? And why is there an offensive player of the year category, wouldn't this be the same as the Heisman, too? And then, why is there a quarterback of the year award if they're just going to give it to the quarterback of the best team in football? Why not give it to the Hawaii quarterback? He did get close to setting the single season TD record (I'm not sure whether he got there or not.) So what if he plays in a gimicky offense, somebody still had to throw the ball. If you aren't going to look at numbers, look at a team that overacheived in the face of adversity. I'm thinking somebody like Paul Thompson for Oklahoma. Re-establishing himself as a quarterback and being able to lead the Sooners to only two losses and a BCS bowl game, in a year in which Adrian Peterson was knocked out halfway seems pretty impressive to me. This is along the lines of Vince Young winning the QB of the year award last year.

Speaking of Vince Young, did anyone catch the highlights of him single handedly beating his hometown team? Made me sick. Brady Quinn, you think you might like Houston?
