And now the better television starts.  Hopefully this Bo Jackson special lives up to the legend.

Didn't seem like many past winners were there. Usually double that show up. That's one of my favorite parts.

Bo Jackson, who was named the Sugar Bowl MVP, said it was one of the toughest teams he ever faced, calling the U-M players "like little bees always coming at you."

I thought I ruined my laptop when I spit out beer laughing at this comment. Thankfully I didn't.

Good for Manziel.  A weird college football season, but he basically won the same way Tebow did - have a couple of memorable games while emerging during a season in which no dominant storyline emerges.  Good for him, and should be interesting to see how this affects player promotion going forward.

Congrats to John Football and Coach Sumlin. However, yell leaders and are still weird and the lyrics to the aggie war hymn are lame.

Did anyone actually watch the Bo show?

Skimmed the thread and looks like all the posts save 1 are about the Heisman (yawn)

I thought it was really good....  other than the ocassional cheesy cartoon interludes (eh, guess they had some amusement value....) and too much Chuck Klosterman (why was he included??) it was a really good 30 for 30.  Bo's a cool dude.   I loved the stuff about his personal life and how he's a hunter, it was interesting.

brought back some great memories about a too often forgotten phenomenal athlete.

 

I had completely forgotten about the throw he made from the warning track to home plate in Seattle.  Un f'ing believable.

I will always love Bo Jackson for being self deprecating, for really enjoying playing sports, and for running right over Boz and Prime Time. I will also always love that dude for his epic Barry Sanders quote: "Barry is my new idol, now. I love the way the guy runs. When I grow up I want to run just like him."
