Who is your favorite Heisman bust? My personal favorites are Rashaan Salaam (Colorado, '94) or Gino Torretta (Miami, '92).

After looking through all of those Heisman busts, I would definitely pick Gino.

To quote Rashaan Salaam, "That marijuana makes you lazy."

The Heisman Trophy winners club is a pretty exclusive bunch. Yet, they (the voters) seem to admit some pretty bad players, which happened to play on great team.


Gordie Lockbaum was robbed!

I'd have to go with one that wasn't on their list, Pat Sullivan QB from Auburn.

His Holy Cross fans would chant, "Gordie, Gordie, Gordie." He may have been robbed, but his son and his teammates won the Little League World Series a few years ago. At the time, he was one of the few who could excellently play both ends of the field

R. Williams said that this year he is voting for Young... but he said last year his mom voted for him and he doesn't know who she voted for.

Seems to me that they should change their voting system if the moms are now voting.



I will have to agree with ESPN's Woody Paige in saying that OJ SIMPSON is the worst heisman winner...
He not only got blood on his trophy when he killed those two people, he hasn't got it any more.

I bet the fans of TCU would say he was a success! Ed Marinaro lost to Sullivan that year.

ESPN's Woody Paige

Not that I am proud, just point of fact, Woodrow Paige graduated from America's premier learning and football institution, your University of Tennessee.

I have no excuse for Skip Bayless.

[DTLax]

I'm going with Charlie Ward '93

I'm going with Charlie Ward '93

At least he had a semi-productive (long) career in the NBA after choosing to NOT play in the NFL.

[Timbalaned]

Have to give the nod to Eric Crouch

Like you said, I wouldn't admit that.

Is that what you call no being drafted?

My biggest bust has to be Morgana. Seriously, I would have to Gino Torretta. If "You Rhymes Are Incomplete Like" Vinny Testaverde could have such a long career, why could this almost carbon-copy stiff not achieve the same, in Minnesota no less?

Honorable mention to Terry Baker of Oregon State.

[Sonny]

Is that what you call no being drafted?

I thought he wasn't drafted by the NFL because he said he wanted to play in the NBA exclusively.

[SElaxalum]

I believe Charlie Ward chose the NBA because most NFL scouts wanted to make him a defensive back. If I remember correctly, he was projected as a late first to early second round pick.

Didnt Couch win it a couple years ago from kentucky? He'd be my bust if so.

[Jay Wisnieski]

My vote goes to Archie Griffin. How can someone who won 2 Heismans and still did nothing in the pros not get my vote?
