I am sure we are all aware of the Heisman Jynx, now that may be mythical but the distractions and media circus that go with it can really be a problem...
Troy Smith? Gained 20 pounds and showed up slow agains UF
Wienke? Well he couldn't get it done..
White? Did not play well in the MNC's injury or not.
Lienhart/Bush? Young should have won it-
I am sure the list goes on and on - I want Sam and the bronze statue more than anyone! When I checked out the statues for the first time last year I thought they were awesome and a huge recruiting tool!
Would anyone object if Sam only took a couple of interviews until after the MNC if he wins? Is that impossible to do to the media?
They should really give that trophy out after the MNC - it is only a distraction and isn't really fair to the winner if they are trying to prepare for the biggest game of their careers..
