    Scott will not like this article! Well he would like that part where he says the Aggies could beat ND, Bama, UGA... :)
    Manti Te'o deserves the Heisman

    Also on the Dan Patrick show. I didn't hear him, but DP said he was an entertaining interview. Manti Te'o also was on the show and, as usual, came across very well.

    This is awards week, Lombardi award here in Houston Wed night.

    The Big night will be Thursday when ESPN has it's awards show in Orlando.

    Manti Te'o has already been announced as the Butkus Award winner. I'm hoping he will also get the Lombardi Award. I don't think he will win the Heisman, the defensive player tag will be just too much for him to overcome.

    Nagurski award will be announced tonight and the Campbell Award on Tues. He could win both of those.

    I don't believe he is eligible for the Outland Trophy which has always been the top award for Linemen, but not LB's.

    It's looking more and more like JFF is going to win, but still this is an awesome video on Manti.

    Not sure why I "shouldn't" read that.
    T'eo is a great kid, and great player.
    I would never argue against any of that.
    Just because that guy likes yours doesn't rub me wrong.

    I figured this would raise your BP a tad...that's why I commented what I did.

    Nah… it’s nothing new.
    Everybody knows stats can be made to say whatever you want.
    By that reasoning, Johnny should have been out of the Alabama game by mid 2nd quarter, since we had a three TD lead at that point. A lot of our games went like that.
    He actually had a lot of time off in the second half of games… but I don’t expect that to be brought up.

    Out of the publicly revealed ballots that disclosed all three of their votes, Manziel was only NOT included in the three votes on one ballot vs. Manti left off a dozen or so. This thing is looking to be a landslide for Manziel and a respectable #2 for Manti (Klein way back in 3rd).
