@rachelwolfson@jackassworld I love that some of my favorite bits got just a little bit more context. Knoxville truly would die for this art. From the bulletproof vest to the rocket’s critical failures and round 2 with Mr. Mean. It really punctuates this love letter. It felt like saying bye to family.
Being a part of the Heisman ceremony last night as a finalist was such an honor. As a competitor, just like in everything I do I wanted to win. To be so close to my dream and come up short was painful. I didn’t handle those emotions well at all and did not represent myself the way I wanted to. I have much love and respect for the Heisman voters and the selection process, and I apologize for being disrespectful. It was a mistake, and I am sorry.
Fernando Mendoza is an elite competitor and a deserving winner of the award. I have nothing but respect for his accomplishments as well as the success that Jeremiyah and Julian had this season.
I’ve been doubted my whole life. Every step of my journey I’ve had to break down doors and fight for myself, because Ive learned that nothing would be handed to me. My family has always been in my corner, and my teammates, coaches and staff have my six. I love them — I am grateful for them.
— and I wouldn’t want anything to distract from that. I look forward to competing in front of my family and with my team one more time in the ReliaQuest Bowl.
The Committee should be investigated. It would not surprise me if the relationship between College Football and round the clock digital gambling had a weight on the scale in all major decisions in sports.
College football is broken. They should have just stuck with the original BCS system. At least then every bowl game mattered. The committee has no continuity in their decision making. Brand/Ad Revenue must cast the deciding votes. #CFPRankings
@AuricGoldfnger@HMDSportsBlogVU@VandyFootball Whole thing is a shame. Irish are ahead of Miami with the same schedule and a head to head loss. Vandy has 2 ranked losses and SOR. They gotta sell ads.
Pavia is throwing up baller numbers. I think he’s still a quality Heisman candidate. It’s not about win loss. (Check the record for last year’s winner) It’s about game changing athletes. Pavia is the reason Vandy felt 5 left was enough. He’s channels that fight . #AnchorDown
We learned Vandy can compete from behind. They looked like an air raid offense for the 4th quarter and put up 21-0. This is a very dynamic team. Change a turnover and some missed tackles and this game is totally different. Both can be fixed at practice. #AnchorDown
