Striking the Heisman Pose

Archie is 100% right -- Howard DID do the Heisman pose incorrectly in the end zone against us. If you look at the trophy, both feet are firmly planted on the ground, yet in Howard's version, he has one leg lifted off the ground. This is the most glaring error. But if you look at the trophy and Howard's rendition, you'll also note that he did it backwards--the ball is supposed to be in his left arm, and the extended leg is supposed to be the left leg. Howard did both with his right.
I know this all is pretty irrelevant in the broad scope of things, but you'd think that as much as people love talking about Howard striking the pose against us, it would have come up before that his pose was incorrect from a technical standpoint.

I've actually won a few bets because of that. Everyone thinks that only one leg is on the ground, but they are obviously wrong.

It only appears to you to be two feet on the ground because you are looking at it through your slow, plodding Big10 eyes. Once you get more used to Florida speed, you will actually be able to see that both feet are off the ground. Desmond Howard is about half as fast as your average Florida athlete, so his eyes are attuned enough to get the picture half-right.
Once your eyes adjust to Florida speed, you may also notice that there are 11 teams in the Big10.

So, this is the wrong thread for me to ask you about the Erie Doctrine and a summary of Pennoyer v. Neff?
