It stunk because it was bad, or it stunk because you disagreed with him?
I couldn't take any more of his C3P0 ass playing down Graham Harrell or Crabtree not going to NYC for the Heisman trophy ceremony.
The show absolutely stunk this morning. Had to turn it over to the Christmas music.
It stunk because it was bad, or it stunk because you disagreed with him?
I don't know if it I'd call it a disagreement. It wasn't that he was saying Harrell didn't deserve to go........he was just basically saying "Too bad. Tech should have won all their games then if he wanted to go."
I think I'm done trying to listen to the show. I'd rather listen to Clay Aiken sing o holy night.
I think they only invite the top 3 players in the country anyway. I can't remember the last time 4 people were up for the Heisman, maybe last year, I just remember in 2005 that Reggie Bush, Matt Leinart, and Vince Young were only invited.
I think the Heisman committee got it right, those are the best three players in the country.
No SH**.
I mean seriously. How in the world can you justify them not getting at least invited. Is it that big of a deal to have 5 instead of 4.
To me, Leach is dead on. It's all about politics.
Here's the Deal.....
If I asked what the best conference is in NCAA Football.
I think the consensus would be the BigXII
So here's the agruements.
3 QB's in the Best Conference in Football.
All with 1 Loss on their Schedule
QB 1
77% Completion
3445 Yards
32 Td's 7 Int's
QB2
71% Completion
4700 Yards
41 Td's 7 Int's
QB3
68.3% Completion
4400 Yards
44 TD's 6 Int's
All in the same conference, same division, all with 1 loss.
And he doesn't get a F'n invite. A joke.
You disagree with the guy and your not gonna listen anymore?
Uh ok.
my favorite part of today's show was the 3 minute interview with UTSA coach Brooks Thompson...old school, "thumbs up!"
The head coach of Northwestern and old school was pretty damn good too.
Still won't go to that worthless bowl game though.
PETER'S LIST OF MOVIES ANDY NEEDS TO SEE
Old School -SUCKED (I THINK IT'S BECAUSE I'M NOT MUCH OF A WILL FERRELL FAN)
Wedding Crashers - FUNNY
Knocked Up - FUNNY
Office Space - HAVE NOT SEEN IT
naw. agree or disagree..... just tired of Everett.
I seriously need satellite radio.
it's basically the same 'what have you done for me lately' votes that the BCS has become accustom to.
Had Tech gotten smoked by OU in late September or even early October, I think Harrell easily goes.
He was the leader as late as three weeks ago and now he's off the charts completely?
Good God, is it really that big a deal to buy him a friggin airline ticket and let him sit in the audience while one of the other guys gets the trophy?
I switch back and forth from them and Mike and Mike depending on what they are discussing. If its something I am not into, I switch to Mike and Mike.
you have lost any and all credibility for every point you have ever made. next thing you're gonna tell me is that blades of glory wasn't awesome.
QB1 also had 576 rushing yards, and 10 rushing TDs.
All of those movies are fantastic.
NOW I DID KINDA LIKED BLADES OF GLORY
Yes...having Pat Fitzgerald yelling..."You're my Boy Blue!"
Was pretty good.
Much better interview than Wade Phillips
You could hear the anger in Texas Tech coach Mike Leach's voice.
His star quarterback, Graham Harrell, was not invited to New York for Saturday's Heisman Trophy ceremony. And Leach just couldn't retain his venom.
Who can blame him? It is a shameful oversight.
Texas Tech's Graham Harrell not getting invited to New York is a slap to the face for coach Mike Leach.
"If it's not based on numbers, then it must be based on politics and agenda," Leach said by phone Thursday morning from New York's LaGuardia Airport. "For him to not be there cheapens the award. It obviously isn't made out of bronze. It must be made out of aluminum."
That Harrell won't be sitting there with Oklahoma's Sam Bradford, Florida's Tim Tebow and Texas' Colt McCoy is a joke. Harrell's numbers speak volumes. He has been nothing short of spectacular in compiling arguably the best package of statistics of any quarterback in America. At the least, Harrell's numbers are on par with the three players who will be in New York.
Harrell has competed 71.5 percent of his passes (406-of-568) for 4,747 yards and 41 touchdowns, with only seven interceptions. His passer rating of 163.03 ranks ninth in the nation.
Even more impressive than his statistics is that Harrell has elevated the Red Raiders' program – which has less of almost everything than Oklahoma, Texas and Florida – to tremendous heights. Texas Tech jetted out to a 10-0 start, reaching as high as No. 2 in the polls before a loss at Oklahoma. The Red Raiders finished the regular season 11-1 and were co-Big 12 South champions.
It's enough to make you wonder why more people didn't fuss about Texas Tech being left out of the Big 12 le game as much as they did about Texas' exclusion. Was the Red Raiders' resume really that much different than OU's or Texas'? Of course not. But Tech has been shuffled off to the Cotton Bowl to play Ole Miss, while Texas and OU will play in marquee BCS bowls.
To top it all off, Harrell enjoyed an unrivaled "Heisman moment" this fall. Facing a second-and-10 from Texas' 28 and trailing the then-No. 1 Longhorns 33-32, Harrell tossed a game-winning touchdown pass to Michael Crabtree with one second left to give Tech a 39-33 triumph.
"There was nothing left for him to do," Leach said. "There obviously is more to the selection process than performance."
The Heisman winner is determined by a vote of 925 media members, as well as former winners. Each voter lists their top three choices, with the No. 1 pick getting three points, the No. 2 selection two points and the No. 3 pick one point. The points are totaled to determine the winner. The point totals also are used to decide who gets invited to New York for the Heisman ceremony. According to Heisman coordinator Tim Henning, the Heisman finalists are determined by the "natural breaking point in the voting."
Thus, it has to be presumed that Harrell finished fourth in the balloting.
Why not break from whatever protocol the Heisman honchos have in place to determine the finalists to invite four or five players? It's a way to reward players such as Harrell for outstanding seasons. And in this case, it would have been great to see a program such as Texas Tech get more national exposure.
Instead, we will have three quarterbacks from "blue blood" schools. It's yet another example of the class system that permeates college football, which has created the most unlevel playing field in all of team sports.
Harrell has won the Unitas Award, which goes to the best senior quarterback. But he deserves much more. At the least, he deserved to be invited to the Heisman ceremony.

It's a real disease you know....real doctors....real medicines...."
Blake....That is dead on.
The more I think about it, the bigger of a joke it is.
Unreal.
Common Sense and Sports don't go hand in hand
QB 2 also had 6 rushing TDs.
*********hint: QB 2 is not Bradford, Griffin or McGee
"you've bagged yourself a wild lex"
Wade Phillips is the bleeping doofus......
And (60) rushing yards.
Seriously...negative yards.
