Why are ole miss and vandy starting the season with a conference game against each other? My guess is that they want to be at the top of the SEC for once, even if its just for a few weeks.
Speaking of Eli, they have started printing shirts pumping him for Heisman that say "HeisManning". I really don't think he has a chance.
I think Clarett was the front runner but he's out of it. I don't think Eli is "Heisman worthy" but trust me, the media will make him a candidate. As long as his completions outnumber his interceptions he'll be a strong contender.
It would be ironic if Eli got the Heisman with a great year for 3rd rate Division 1A Ole Piss when his daddy was a deserving candidate who was beaten out by Jim Plunkett and his brother Peyton should have gotten it but got beaten out of if by a receiver/defensive back Charles Woodson
I think the only shot he has is if his team is competitive...but he still plays for Ole Mrs. Nothing against Eli, cept he plays for ole missy.
There are a few more conference openers in the 1st week: Okie State v Nebraska TCU v Tulane Fla St v N Carolina E Carolina v Cincy I don't like the idea of starting your season with a conference game....need a warm-up 1st.....even if it is against a tough opponent....just not a conference one.
