than the Alabama defense. O-line is gonna have some extra pep too. Tua not winnng wasn't unexpected so now we can really concentrate on whipping OU.

Dr. B

I knew he wasn’t gonna win when the announcer couldn’t even pronounce his name!

Yep tua had a smile all the way but I see vengeance in his eyes...

Yeah hate it for TUA though. He had what like 800 less passing yards than Murry? And Murry had like 22 more quarters of play than TUA against some of the worst Defenses in the country.

Can't wait for the 29th! Roll Tide!!!

I was surprised that the chairman of the Heisman committee could barely speak English. Why the heck is there a German or Swede or whatever the crap he is, in charge of the Heisman?

I thought he would win it. Glad he didn’t.

Yeah Fur that was ridiculous. One guy tweeted He knew Tua wasn't gonna win when the announcer couldn't even pronounce his name right

Where the Hell did they get that foreign asshole for the ceremony? And I figured Murray was gonna win and he very much deserved the win.

You need to check your eye prescription.

That guy was clearly of Indian descent, an in India. And he wasn’t raised in America based off that accent. I agree, very strange.

I wanted him to win it but I didn't think he would. He should have.

I hope Bama destroys Oklahoma.

I thought the same thing. Here was this German (Indian whatever...) dude talking about the greatest American sport... Why wasn't he handing out some soccer trophy or something.

Like I said in an earlier post... I hope Murray wins, and Alabama kicks their ass in the semi finals.

Honestly... The Kyler Murray kid seems like a nice young man.

Bama will absolutely use it as motivation. I hope the defense is able to tee off on OU.

Not to mention he Said it was the 218 winner of the heisman trophy. Why the hell would Someone not go over the names before he walked his foreign ass out there

I’m thinking that Hans had some of whatever Billy Sims was drankin.

Yea old billy was getting a little irritating with the sooner crap

That guy was not any kind of Indian I'm familiar with. I think Tua should have won, but I'm ok with it because I think it motivates everyone.

Tua blewa

Look what the heisman did to jhonny manzell, who would want the thing?

I think that was strippers and cocaine

That picture with all three standing with trophy Murray looks a foot shorter than Tua.

He's a little feller.

I called him a bad word.

Yeah like 5' 10" 195

That certainly played a big part of it lol

Didn't he come from a wealthy family also?

Baker Mayfield? Derrick Henry? Mariotta? Cam Newton? Tebow?

I think he was a peckerhead all along. I couldnt stand him. Seems like they would have revoked his heisman.

I was just messing around Dan, calm down. I know its a big deal, and the guys who win it usually are too.

Oh, I was just sayin. There's been a lot of good ones move on with the trophy, but some do not.

I was just trying to make a funny. Some times my humor is mistaken for something else.

Oh and just watched the clip on sports center. Saban was politely clapping but u could see it in his eyes...not happy. The wheels are already turning in his head. He's got something for OU in a couple of weeks. RTR!

I got to thinking about that Indian guy again this morning. I mean seriously... You have one job to do and that is to basically call the names of the players out and present the trophy. Would it have been too much to ask to actually practice saying their names and if you couldn't get it right get someone to help you learn how to say them. Not 15 minutes after Tua's dad was on there saying how important honoring your family's name is in Hawaiian culture to have that moron get up there and botch it up on a national stage for the highest award in college football is inexcusable. He's an idiot and should be stripped of whatever job responsibilities he has with the award.

To Tua's credit he took it in stride and kind of shrugged it off, but it was a slight on the award committee's part plain and simple. How long did they have to prepare for this show? And in all that time one moron can't learn you to pronounce a word?

Like I said earlier, Kyler Murray seems like a nice kid (His dad seems like a douchbag.) and he is certainly deserving. He waited his turn, took his spot and made the most of it having a great season, but I hope Bama kicks their ass... Roll Tide.

Tuas dad and kylers dad shoulda had a separate trophy for douchebag of the year award

It was pretty obvious the Russians influenced the vote when Vladimer could not pronounce his name

You Bammers are something else.After watching Jake Fromm thrash you,you think y'all would have gained a little humility.Damn...

Yeah I think his family in the oil business

Bull, humility is for losers. In football anyways.

was the announcer a big sponsor or something? espn big dog?

He looked like he probably left the award show and flew straight to Hoover to rejoin the protestors.

Didn't you mean Jake " I can't can't win the Big one " Fromm?

The reason Tua didn't win was that they couldn't get an interpretor from Hawaii fast enough for the show. Better luck next year. NOT

Look at the list of Heisman voters who left Tagovailoa off their ballot completely.

Baker Mayfield - Oklahoma
Jason White - Oklahoma
Sam Bradford - Oklahoma
Steve Owens - Oklahoma
Billy Sims - Oklahoma
Bo Jackson - Auburn
Cam Newton - Auburn
Pat Sullivan - Auburn
Herschel Walker - Georgia
Gino Torretta - Miami
Johnny Manziel - Texas A&M
Jameis Winston - Florida State
Tim Brown - Notre Dame

Seriously doubt that list is accurate. Some, probably...but doubt every one of those left Tua off.

Alabama hate and Alabama fatigue may have played a factor.

Who knows?

Kyler Murray is a talented player, no doubt.

Looks like a lot more ass kickin' by Alabama still left to be done.

If that’s true, that’s absolute bullchit

Whys that?

Source?

Cuz

1). Half that list has an axe to grind with Bama
2). Tua is quite obviously worthy of at least top 2 or 3
3). If crap like that went on to a significant degree it could have affected the outcome

Looks like it did affect the outcome
Haters gonna hate haters...

Not like you're required to vote for X person. The eagles made a song called Get over it.

Both Murray and Tua would've been deserving winners of the award. Voting has always been jabberwocky due to regional bias, and I can expect voters of certain teams with a player in the running to manipulate their votes to hurt a certain candidate. But I'll say this, as a non-auburn fan, l find it hard to believe that Bo Jackson would leave Tua off his ballot. He's proven that he's a good man...remember, he chose to raise money, as an individual, for the tornado rebuilding effort in Tuscaloosa.

Seeing as heisman ballots are anonymous, and giving a nod to Bo as a man with credibility, I'm not buying that entire list of voters who left Tua off their ballot.

Having said all of that, Murray won it fair and square. The Georgia game sunk Tua's chance.

That list is fake news

Of course it is lol, I was wondering how long before someone would wave the BS flag. Lol I actually saw that on an Oklahoma board and copied and pasted it over. The only reason I knew it was BS was because Bo was on Finebaum last week and said that Tua was far and away the #1 on his ballot and nobody in the country deserved it more. Bo knows.


If that list didn't have Bo and Sullivan on it I would probably have bought it to an extent. Cam, Mayfield, and Manziel I would believe in a heart beat.

The voters do not have to share how they vote for the Heisman. There is not a "voting list" that shows how they vote.

Use the old tackle QB in a pile and then let a DL fall on him like we did Colt McCoy....backup QB won't even know the playbook.
