“Christian McCaffrey”

He had a season like no other college player ever had but PAC12 Is not SEC.

“All you guys would love Derrick Henry. Raised by his grandmother. Strong Christian. Never brags, taints or talks about himself. Won’t talk about a potential pro career. Always credits the team and the coach. Broke Hershel Walker’s 34 yr old rushing record. Had 23 touchdowns. Is likely leading the team to a National Championship. What’s not to like? “

I watched all the Bama games this year that were available for free, and Derrick Henry was just completely amazing. I fully expected him to win. I hope he has an exceptionally long and great career in the NFL. He’s a very talented young man and seems to be an equally fine person as well.

“Honestly, never heard of him. Not on my radar.”

Which simply means you don’t follow college football. So I’m wondering why you’re even bothering to comment here about something you know nothing about.

“Why so many blacks?”

Uh, because a disproportionate number of great football players are comprised of blacks.

My wife is Tide crazy and yes she’s rubbing my face in it

(0k carnal minds)

I like Derek too actually

He reminds me of a black John Riggins how he runs

It’s racial with me because I live with the consequences of racial progress celebrated by do gooders like you who don’t live with it

I could explain it to you but you can’t handle the truth....race baiting is easier and you think it makes you both popular and superior

You like most dumbass Yankees here unless from Detroit do not deal with race up close like we southerners but you live to preach to us that which you are clueless about and have since the 1830s

In your usual ignorance you likely missed all the hoopla this week from sports media about its simply not proper anymore to give a running back based Heisman to a white guy with even some black sports pundits admitting it was racist but they would do it anyhow

And a few said the Stanford boy was more deserving but tough shite.

Maybe being stupid you simply missed all that.

But since you asked.

I think Henry is great and I really noticed him against LSU this year....and will do better than his competitors in the Pros given his size and he is indeed modest and I like Alabama...a lot....any southern team is my preference...after that Ohio State

But pro potential is not the criteria

A wood has not won as a running back in around 50 years

I thought it was Derek too...like Bo and John

My wife is still enjoying this

She’s asleep but still smiling

I think Bama goes all the way.....if their QB has a good nite

Just keep handing it off to Henry like they did against LSU

By the way

You notice it’s wardaddy versus anonymous big daddy

I see you came on here and called everyone a racist which you often do

The other folks don’t want to fight I guess but you already know I’m different

I’ll be waiting

Another hater, I see. Henry broke Herschel Walker’s single season rushing record, which is an incredible feat. Henry also made his yards against much tougher defenses than McCaffrey. Pac 12 defenses are pathetic, to say the least.

Roll damn Tide.

Thank you. Naturally, I was biased towards Henry, but the competition was tough. So happy for Derrick!

No, the truth is that Pac 12 defenses suck. Derrick Henry broke Herschel Walker’s rushing record against superior defenses.

I am LOVING the haters tonight. They have provided some good laughs. Roll Damn Tide.

another moron, I see. Hater? Dear Lord, could you possibly be more childish, more infantile, more vacant and vapid? I've no hate for Henry, but McCaffrey does more things incredibly well than maybe anyone in college football history.....

The Heisman is purely based on merit. Lots of white winners, lots of black winners. But at the end of the day, its merit. You adding a racial component. Sounds like you believe in some sort of Heisman affirmative action. Like I said, you sound like a liberal.

It is great to see a humble and classy Heisman winner. I think all three guys were great candidates.

Mark Ingram does have vision and is a good RB for Saints. You are thinking of Trent Richardson who was a bust. But it was Ingram who won the Heisman in 2009.

Indeed, all three were worthy of the honor. And the teams should not be forgotten for the work they put in to make the teammate so worthy.
