It was funny, I posted this on the FB page for Tigernet at the same time as the Crump that DW4 was Finalist...maybe I need to get a position with TNet...just saying.

DeShaun, you ARE the man. There is no doubt that you have fulfilled the definition of the Heisman Trophy as "most valuable to your team."
You epitomize Tiger Spirit!

Yes he does! He, also embodies the lost part of the Heisman Trophy, as I remember it, that reflects on the character and leadership aspect. That seems to have fallen by the wayside with some past recipients, but maybe I'm just remembering incorrectly.

I hope they take in account the amount of times Watson was pulled halfway through the 3rd qtr this season, opposed to the amount of times Bama just padded Henry's stats for no reason at all. I think Spiller would have ran for over 400 yards if he had 46 carry game....I mean Good Lord.

In all my years being a Clemson Fan,this season has been one of the greatest,along with 1981.To have a player get invited to the Heisman party is topping on the cake.I really believe that DW will come home with the Trophy.

Sitting here reading this made me shout out loud and scared the cat. I almost had a faint flicker of feeling sorry for the dirtpeckers (wont even capitalize it)...their terrible record, getting Muskrat for a coach, etc...but that quickly faded into a silly grin that wont go away. Congratulations to D Watson! GO TIGERS!!!

The ESPN favoritism is based on numbers. 50 years ago CU had 6,000 students. UGA, Ohio St., etc had 25-50k. That's a lot of Grads and family & friends. Clemson has grown and competes at the highest levels -obviously from this years results. But it's hard to overcome contracts & demographic numbers in overcoming favoritism. Good luck and safe travels to Watson & family!!!!

He, almost, is too good to be true. I'm very thankful he has become a Tiger. He is what I want to see in all our players, and most of them seem to reflect the same ethics and values. Kudos to Dabo and staff. You can build a championship team with those qualities. Most just don't try very hard. We are so different!

I would so hope that maybe, just this once, we could overcome SEC bias. If you look at which individual means the most to his team, it's Watson 4 sure. In addition, to which school would it mean the most? Obviously Clemson. I'm hoping 4 a Heisman 4 Christmas.

and passing yards. It would make the other 2 look bad.

Electric...just electric...NO former Heisman winner...
Dec 7, 2015, 7:35 PM

...has deserved this award more than DW4. NONE.
I thought I would never see a QB of his calibre at Clemson in my lifetime, and we may NEVER again in my lifetime. I'm literally just in awe watching him play for Clemson. His humility, character, leadership, and skill just make me have so much pride in the Clemson program.
I think about just how much of a BAD message that was sent to every aspiring college football player when Winston was awarded the trophy. I had already felt that the Heisman was such a tool of an award when CJ was denied a trip to the awards ceremony. Then when Winston was awarded, I just lost complete respect for the award. If DW4 doesn't win it on this trip, then I think I'll just commit myself to NEVER watching this award EVER again.

You sound totally ridiculous. Winston deserved to win, just like Mariota, just like Barry Sanders, just Charles Woodson, and other great college football players throughout college football history. Just because YOU don't personally like a player doesn't mean they don't deserve the trophy! FOH!

I don't think he doesn't like him as much as character. I agree that Winston deserved the trophy by stats alone but his character was what myself and many others see as a reason he didn't deserve it. He was a ###### bag. his antics off the field not so much as on the field. Go Tigers. Deshaun for the Heisman.

And he did not fully hit his stride until a few games into the year. He was definitely still healing. He would easily be over 1000 yds rushing if he had been fully healthy in September. Also, there is no better representative for Clemson. Unlike Winston, he lets his game do the talking and is not a "look at me" guy. Winston is a "here I am" person, and Deshaun Watson is a "there you are" person. Dabo recruits high character boys and turns out high character men. Now bring home two more trophies - Heisman and Nat Champ.

Actually the McCaffrey kid has over 3400 all purpose yards. He is a complete back. I still think that Deshaun deserves it more than any of them and Henry isn't in the top 2. With the SEC bias its going to be interesting. Go Tigers. Deshaun for the Heisman.

Thrilled for Watson. Hope he wins it, but I'm still trying to figure out how Keenan Reynolds dosn't even get an invitation. Look at his body of work and ask yourself, does Navy win as many games as they have without his the last several years. Doubtful.
