As much as I would've liked to see Denard recognized in New York, it was AWESOME that he got to be recognized at the Big Chill in front of all his fans. I look forward to him showing off the Heisman at a basketball home game in the next two years.

Does Michigan do Heisman Campaigns? I mean this in the sense that the school takes an active role in promoting an athelete for the award. I wonder if this might be a reflection of the head coach. I also wonder how David Brandon's new marketing director would impact this, if at all.

Also, I think the Owen Marecic vote is interesting. He was a pretty effective two-way player for Stanford, though he's not especially awesome. Anyway, his votes put two Stanford kids in the top 6.

I honestly believe he finishes second if we finish 9-3 and he may have won had one of them been OSU and he had a big game. That's how much recods matter. The final four had a combine 2 losses. It's kind of sad really because it supposed to be about the best player not the best player on a great team. Cam still would have won regardless. I mean, he was just clutch. He was the reason they won a bunch of games against bad teams. Auburn is Michigan with a great Dline that makes just enough plays to get them out of bad situations.
