YOUR WTF HEISMAN CANDIDATES, COURTESY OF MATT ZEMEK
We had a friend in middle school. (Yes, a single friend. Don’t look so astonished.) When we told him about the gassing-a-lighter-up-in-your-hand-and-igniting it trick, he looked pensively at a corner of the room for an instant, and said, “Oh, that ain’t shit.” He then held the end of the lighter in his mouth, pressed down on the gas feed, and lit his soft palate on fire.
That’s basically what Matt Zemek does when pressed for “under-the-radar” Heisman picks. And like the insane mouth-incineration trick in middle school…well, we kind of like it, Matt. (Oh Heismanpundit? We know you’ve got something to say about this…

I’d be shocked if shockley wasn’t benched fairly early in the year in favor of his more skilled backups, such as tereshinski.

How can I NOT comment on this?
There’s really no such thing as an ‘under the radar’ Heisman pick, unless we just acknowledge that every player in Div. 1 is eligible to garner a vote and so is therefore a ‘candidate.’
Basically, his column was a waste of time and, for what it’s worth, Tate is hardly under the radar since I put him on my list!

HP, don’t yield an inch! The Heisman is your corner, and woe to the playah who tries to creep on it. Keep the pimp hand strong.
BTW, this means my Datwan Hemingway ticket is eligible for the race. Here’s a chance to get in on the ground floor, everyone…

With a name like that, he HAS to be good.

I was firmly in the bandwagon of the USC Punter last year after he built his own website to campaign himself for the Heisman last year. It was a good tongue-in-cheek joke that was seriously underrated.

For a totally under the radar Heisman pick who actually could project to be a possibility, take a gander at Eric Ainge at Tennessee. Now, he is totally under the radar.
