How Quickly They Forget

I've been sitting here in my underwear eating ice cream out of the tub with my finger and thinking about my man Brady Quinn. What I'm concerned about is that he's not getting the proper amount of Heisman hype.

For those of you who may be unfamiliar with Brady, he is the best QB in the country and could beat a team single handedly (he could have beaten Michigan if he wanted to, he just didn't want Lloyd Carr to get fired.

There's all this talk of these two "Colts" moving up the Heisman chart. That would be Colt McCoy of Texas and Colt Brennan of Hawaii. Everyone wants to make a big deal out the fact that they both have better stats than Quinn. That rationale for the Heisman is ridiculous.

First of all, neither of them go to Notre Dame, which means they obciously couldn't handle the academic rigors of the school, or else they would be at Notre Dame. The only reason every player in the country doesn't go to Notre Dame is because the school is so difficult academically that most students can't handle it without the help of monk-style prayer.

Second, as I've stated before, Notre Dame plays the most difficult schedule imaginable, as evidenced by this. For Quinn to have such nice stats after all the rivalry games and difficult teams we've played is incredible. Most of the time, Notre Dame is happy to have a QB who doesn't throw more picks than touchdowns (because, of course, the schedule is so hard).

Third, Hawaii and Texas? If you don't go to Notre Dame you simply can't be as good as anyone who does go to Notre Dame. Who should win the Heisman really? A couple of guys who have great stats and play on good teams? Or, someone who's endorsed by God?
