Who do you share them with?

Well, three of 'em are shark teeth I found scuba diving but they ain't in a jar.

I wear 'em on a rawhide chain round my neck.

Hard to link from my phone, but the tears are flowing and conspiracy theories are flying on BWI because Barkley didn't get an invite to NY for the Heisman.

I haven't read the thread, yet. But I figured I'd help out with the link for you.

I think Barkley had a very good career and will make a very good NFL running back. But, the guy did not earn a trip to NYC this year, that's just the facts.

Here's some highlights:

Heisman is reserved for pompous headcases about to flame out in real life. Saquon is and will be a winner in life!! It's a crazy world. Saquon and Penn Staters will have the last laugh.

I won't be watching the Heisman show, but I wonder what the over/under should be on the number of Barkely's highlights they still sneak in?

Why would they put ANY of Barkley's highlights in?

BULLSHIT! Barkley wasn't screwed by the voters. Give me a break! Franklin made him second fiddle in this offense at the WORST times. Only one person to blame here.

Barkley is the BEST player in COLLEGE FOOTBALL! Franklin DROPPED the ball. Don't try to sway it another way!

Amazing how they've decided that the problems in their offense were all caused by the one guy who just so happens to not be there anymore.

Maybe it was Franklin.. maybe Moorhead.. but... he disappeared in the 4th Q of every game that mattered. That's not Heisman worthy. Hell, did he even run for 1,000 yards?

Since when does being 33rd in rushing not make a running back one of the top 3 players in America?

Sure, JK Dobbins outgained him by over 200 yards - on fewer carries - but this is just more "evidents" of the B1G's conspiracy to screw Happy Valley.

Besides, he only lost yards on 50% of his carries.

Rutgers ruined his chances. RUTGERS! 14 carries for 35 yds. for a 2.5 yd ave. Not good. Only 4 100+ yard games on the season. Not Heisman numbers

Agreed. Also, you'd think that in close games your team should lean on the Heisman contender to do well. Penn State played 3 close games all year (within 3 points). Win at Iowa, he got 211 yards plus 94 more receiving. THAT's what a Heisman contender should do. Against Ohio State, 44 yards, averaging 2.1 per carry. Against Michigan State, 63 yards. In those two games, he got 107 yards combined, in 35 carries. 3 yards a carry.

He was unable to keep drives moving late and the team was unable to rely on him. He would have been a worse candidate than Jarbill Peppers, in my opinion, and that's saying A LOT.

Rule one for being in their cult: If you aren't outraged at something, you aren't looking hard enough.

It is obvious that conferences are now picking a horse and setting the table for them to win their conference in the most dominating fashion. Time to expose this corruption.

Ohio St this year played cross over games of Nebraska (sucks), Iowa (7-5, was favored by 21), and Illinois (perhaps the worst B1G team including Rutgers). They played Indiana during the non-conference schedule which gave them a soft, but not too soft test before Oklahoma. They only played 2 ranked teams before the championship game and they were mostly broken up with cupcake padding on each side of the ranked game. Their toughest stretch was bye week, PSU, then 7-5 Iowa and they failed at that.

Meanwhile PSU played 9-3 Northwestern, 8-4 Michigan, 10-2 Ohio St, and 9-3 Mich St in a consecutive stretch, Oh, and that decent 7-5 Iowa team. No team in the nation would have made it through that stretch unscathed. It handed Ohio St a pass to the championship, not quite Wisconsin style, but a pass just the same.

There's more to that post. A lot more. I'll copy and paste more if it's as good as it started.

Oh no. They're on to us.
