As I see these guys are being interviewed, it looks like like they are in $5000 outifits. Sharp, well tailored etc. etc. These kids are tuition, books, room and board {cough cough}. Who is footing the bill for the clothes, and the incidentals? ---

Seems like a great guy. I’m happy he won. ---

I have nothing against RG3, but I felt like he was jammed down my throat the past three weeks, ESPN-style. Is he a deserving winner? Sure. They all were. But IMO Luck or Richardson should have won the award. I’m not going to list the stats… that’s pointless. But this isn’t an MVP award. If he was the reason Baylor won more than one game, good for him. But by this logic, Peyton Manning should win the NFL MVP. The Colts went from a Super Bowl contender to a winless lump of an NFL team because of one guy. That’s both impressive and disturbing. Look, in no way am I trying to crap on RG3 or his big day. Good for him. And I hope he goes on to do big things in the NFL. But the Heisman has turned into an ESPN popularity contest. Nothing more. ---

They interviewed the finalists during the Army-Navy game. Ball, RGIII, and Luck all came off as sharp and articulate. The SEC guys not so much. ---

Where does one acquire Superman socks with the capes on them? ---

Obviously, if that is true, then they are not deserving to be one of the finalists. :rolleyes::dubious::rolleyes: [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/sdmbs-heisman/605275.md?page=1)
