The NCAA’s Heisman Trophy was awarded to Mark Ingram this weekend and he thanked everyone in a tearful ceremony. The commentators immediately started buzzing about Tim Tebow, Colt McCoy and all the other possible players that could have won the trophy too. And some people aren’t happy about where it went. One of the interesting pieces of this discussion so far is about the Texas Longhorns. Last year, the team went undefeated and did great but didn’t make it to the BCS championship because of the complicated and ultimately un-see-throughable system for picking the contenders. Commentators and even the President jumped on the league especially for the disappointment incurred by Texas and that there should be a playoff. This year, they are headed to the BCS Bowl through the same system and with many of the same players, and they are labelled as inconsistent and undeserving. How the times change!
