SI wants to delay Heisman voting


Sep 1, 2020, 1:32 PM

So that Justin Fields gets to play in the spring before voting.

So that TL16 doesn't win, since his season would be over months before voting and only The O310 State would be about the only good team playing all spring, so Fields would run the table in the spring.

These days SI is better known for its swimsuit magazine and not sports.

Is there a bigger idiot than Pat Forde? He may not know it but the BIG and Pac 10 opted out for this football season and that includes the Heisman, and CFP Championship.

Correction: Pat Forde not SI


Sep 1, 2020, 1:57 PM

That said, does ANYONE really care what he says or thinks?

Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.

The Heisman voting is already completed before the games are all played in a normal season, so why would they wait for a completely additional season before voting?

I would like to see it permanently delayed until after the playoffs. If the voters hadn’t already made up their minds after week 8 in 2016, DW would have won hands down. As for schools/conferences that opted out...tough ####### said the kitty.

Is Forde still alive ?

Doubt Fields will play in the spring.


Sep 1, 2020, 2:10 PM

He'll be getting ready for the draft

I remember when Sports Illustrated understood sports.

That's a stupid idea!!!! Next idea will be they will delay the


Sep 1, 2020, 2:19 PM

crowning of the National Championship and decide between who wins it, the fall or spring champion.

SMDBAH really outloud!!!!

Sep 1, 2020, 2:22 PM

...and put an assterisk by both of them!!!!

ESPN determines who wins. The Heisman Committee does not. They are a do nothing committee that allows the winner to be determined by others. They love politics in sports. A Clemson player will have a very difficult time winning because we don't bend to the sports political machine, mainly ESPN.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


Pretty sure there is no Heisman committee


Sep 1, 2020, 3:04 PM

Just a huge pool of voters - some of who pay close attention to what is going on and some who do not.

Re: Pretty sure there is no Heisman committee- the pool is


Sep 1, 2020, 3:28 PM

some media and some former winners. Recent history has shown there is way too much chlorine in that pool. When the ESPN fawning over Lame R Jackson screwed DW out of the award he earned I tuned out. I wont be watching again regardless who goes and or wins

badge-donor-05yr.jpgringofhonor-74tiger.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I really don't think DW4 got screwed


Sep 1, 2020, 6:08 PM

Until they change the rules, the Heisman is a regular season award and Lamar flat out had a better regular season and you will never convince me otherwise. As usual, Watson saved his best for the postseason, but the award had already been presented at that point.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Lamar isn't that bad either. He is solid in NFL


Sep 1, 2020, 8:30 PM

Rare for a Heisman winner

Downtown Athletic club and their East coast journalism bias can shove it after many missteps, Suh, Peyton Manning, Famous Jamis, Scam Newton, DW4...but i like Pat Forder, engaging thought provoking (comment provoking) column.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I actually thought Woodson deserved the Heisman


Sep 1, 2020, 3:16 PM

over Peyton. He was the best player in CFB that year. Of course so was Suh in 2009 (I think that was the right year).

And I know I'm in the minority around here but I didn't think Watson really got screwed either year. I think it should've been Mccaffery > Watson in 2015 and I actually think they got it right on 2016. Lamar had an INSANE season. I think its ridiculous how much he gets discredited here. Oh he only won it because he hurdled some guy in week 2....
