Does ESPN tabulate the Heisman votes themselves & are the voter's votes released?

[aurorasooner]

I was just wondering if the Heisman voter's votes were released for publication so each individual voter can check that their votes were recorded appropriately and also so the results can be verified by the press?

[SPuL]

I don't know about EVERY vote. But if you want to see the ones revealed so far.

stiffarmtrophy.com

there should be a link that states who everyone who's ballot is in, and who they voted for. They update it 2-3 times a day.

Deadline for votes is tonight, so either by tommorow night or Friday they should have a good amount of the 926 votes.

Accounting firm Deloitte & Touche tabulates the ballots, I think...

[bri]

NO THEY DON'T!! ESPN COUNTS THEM AND FIXES THE RESULTS AND THEN THEY EAT BABIES AND HAVE GAY BLOOD ORGIES AND AARGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHH I'M AN IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For f*ck's sake, just shut up shut up shut up. I'd say you sound like aggy, but for the first time in my life I don't want to insult aggy that badly.

[aurorasooner]

Geez. Do you work for ESPiN? As I've seen published today this is supposed to be by far the closest Heisman vote ever. Also since the talking heads were beotching about being able to see the coach's vote (which were released only after the final poll) and were able to scrutinize each individual coach's vote and a couple of articles even tried to establish a pattern (which I didn't see), I just wondered if the Heisman voting had any similar checks and balances outside of only ESPiN. Go take an Ativan.

Okay, in order:

1) It's "ESPN". No "i".
2) THEY ONLY TELEVISE THE F*CKING THING.
3) The Heisman Memorial Trophy Award is given out by the Downtown Athletic Club of New York. NOT ESPN.
4) The ballots are sent out, collected, and counted by Deloitte. NOT ESPN.

So, to sum up, you're a f*cking idiot who is reflecting poorly on the rest of us. Shut the f*ck up and go sit in the corner until kickoff.

Bri: Internet winner.


I'm only adding a second paragraph so that I can center every other paragraph like aurorasooner.

Thank you for stretching the page Bri.

You'll get no argument from me about sending Aurora to one corner of the room; however, in terms of "reflecting poorly on the rest of us," perhaps you need to go sit in time-out for a bit yourself, Bri.

Geez Louise. Somebody woke up on the wrong side of the Red River.

I was under the impression that the DAC went bankrupt in the early 2000s and the Heisman Trophy was sold and I thought I read somewhere that ESPiN bailed out the Heisman Trophy as I remember a board debate which had hoped that the NCAA would or should've taken control of the trophy as it is general viewed as the highest award for a CFB player, and shouldn't be be under the supervision of any individual sports network. I had no idea how the Heisman voting was tabulated, or who tabulated the votes or if the individual voters votes were released as the individual coach's votes were in the final coach's poll.

Once all the votes are in, they are tabulated and hermetically sealed in a mayonaise jar which is kept on the back porch at Arthur Andersen Accounting Services until the time of the ceremony.

I guess you had no idea because the Google was broken?

Dude, why look up actual facts and sh*t when you can just posit another idiotic "conspiracy theory" in its stead?

[Harry Beanbag]

Exactly. Why be a mature adult when you can be a total cocknozzle to anybody on the internet with no repercussions?

[Turd_Ferguson]

heh. Cocknozzle....I like that....the word that is.

Did mom say move out?

[Boarder]

Yeah, Bri. Who bowled in your place during the 7th frame?

[starclassic tama]

bri seems like the kinda guy who wants everyone to know how smart he is at all times and flips out and insults people for not recognizing his self proclaimed genius. in short, a real winner.

[Boarder]

Yeah Bri, who put a crease in your 1989 Upper Deck Ken Griffey Jr Rookie card?
