TXBlair | December 8, 2012 | TXBlair

I searched and didn't find a thread already underway, so...the Heisman will be presented within the hour. FReepers' thoughts/reactions?

I am pulling for Klein, but don't really have a dog in the fight this year. A fellow Baylor grad and my hometown's superstar, Robert Griffin, won last year, so I'm just glad to sit back and watch without all the emotion this time around! Others' thoughts?

I sort of like Klein too.

Is he a senior this year? If so he will not get another chance.

What does it look like.

Can I have it.

Do you think the guys on Pawn Stars will give me a reasonable deal on it?

I don’t know but you could ask OJ if he remembers what his looked like.

I’m going with Teo. Like the idea of a strictly defensive player winning for the first time.

Yes, I think he’s a senior. I’m so glad that Baylor beat K- State (for Baylor’s sake), but I’m a little sorry that the loss may well have cost him the Heisman. I knew that he was married, but I heard him being interviewed a few minutes ago acknowledging that he and his wife never kissed until their wedding day. That is amazing. I knew I liked this kid! And as far as I know, he doesn’t have a police record, unlike a certain other finalist. Those blots on Manziel’s character are a real shame.

That old K State coach seems to be getting better the older he gets.

I wouldn’t mind seeing him win one bit! I don’t follow Notre Dame football like I do Big 12, but I’ve heard nothing but good things about Manti. Same with Klein. Very decent young men.

I really want Klein to win it, but I don’t think he will. He deseves it though!

Lol. Your know those guys on Pawn Stars will not give you a fair price for it. They never do. They will tell you that it is used goods: “See, it even has someone else’s name already on it. That’s going to make it harder for us to sell.”

I’m sorry, but I hate that a freshman won.

Me, too. He is talented for sure, but eh.

No cool socks like Robert Griffin’s Superman numbers, either!! :)
