Here's a quote for ya: Fuck ESPN. If Troy leads us to an undefeated regular season, go ahead and engrave his name on the Heisman.

You know I live and die by that but there's no denying they have a major influence in the sports world. Hopefully Mark May will put Lou Holtz in his place a few times like he did last year and Kirk Herbstreit will hype up Troy, not that he needs it. :wink2:

So much for some of our board "experts" who said that Troy was nowhere near a first-round pick. I think Troy can really support his Heisman hype this year...

Who cares about the Heisman? If he wins it, then great, if not, then who cares?

College awards are worthless. Did AJ Hawk win the Butkus? That shows how much the voters know.

Are you fucking kidding me? Winning the Heisman trophy is one of the most prestigious awards in all of sports. Being named the best player out of an entire field of Division 1 schools is a tremendous honor, and is not "worthless".

Question: As much as I love Troy, if he were to win the Heisman, would we retire his jersey? even after all the off the field troubles?

If Troy wins the Heisman, I'm going to assume the Bucks had a pretty successful year. That would mean beating scUM (again!), and winning a BCS game (again!) 3-0 vs. scUM, 2 BCS wins, the Heisman trophy... that's a pretty damn impressive resume. I think they would retire it.
