QB Joe Burrow (transfer to LSU, 2019 Heisman Winner, National Champion, Cincinnati Bengals)

Joe recognizing Ohio State almost as much as his current team.

They just showed that he was on 95.4% of the ballots (new record)...I'd like to know which fucktards didn't have him on their ballot.

It’s maddening that CFB writers that are AP contributors essentially get a vote for life, even once they leave the college football beat. There are entertainment and culture bloggers from defunct newspapers that folded 15 years ago still voting on the Heisman.

I'm talking college production, though. Cassell barely saw the field.

Of all the Nissan Heisman House clips, my favorite was in an outtake special from a few years ago, when Carson Palmer was asked what his greatest college prank was. Apparently Cassell was a Disney quality artist that could draw any cartoon on the fly. So one day Palmer swapped all the dry erase markers in the QB room with permanent markers, then asked Cassell to draw Coach Sarkisian about 10 minutes before Sark arrived for a QB meeting.

Palmer admits it did not end well for Cassell and he felt awful afterwards. Given what later came out, I can only imagine...

Day and Marotti weren’t in New York on Saturday night because of Burrow. They were there for Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields and defensive end Chase Young, who were both invited to New York after finishing third and fourth in this year’s Heisman voting. Yet they still had reason to celebrate, reason to be happy that someone they played a role in developing – Marotti for all of Burrow’s three-plus years at Ohio State, and Day for Burrow’s final season and final spring as a Buckeye – was crowned as college football’s best individual player for the 2019 season.

Having them in the room made Saturday night even more special for the Heisman winner.

“It was so awesome to have Coach O and all my LSU coaches here and then Coach Day and Coach Mick,” Burrow said in his winner’s press conference following the Heisman ceremony. “It was super special for me. I love Coach Day and Coach Mick with all my heart.

“I’m also forever grateful for them. Because they gave me opportunities when not a lot of people were going to out of high school at that level. They’ll forever hold a place in my heart, and I hope they know that.”

One person who could see it coming, as Orgeron recalled in his press conference on Saturday night: LSU safeties coach Bill Busch, who saw the potential of Burrow in 2015, when Burrow was a true freshman for the Buckeyes and Busch was a quality control coach for the Buckeyes.

“He came up to me and these were his exact words: ‘Coach, if we get Joe Burrow, we’re going to be in the College Football Playoff,’” Orgeron said.
