I've seen that one thrown around before, but is it an actual, legit quote?

joelvandyne

No, the exact quote was "seven or eight".

chuckie i've heard of, taysom i've heard of...but who is booker?

Ugh. Ok. Again, I'm not buying into hype, but here is an article to help your

i agree with everything you just said.

I think we both get it. Was a pleasure discussing this with you.

8/31/15 10:02am

From a place with actual Heisman history? Yup, hilarious that we would think we

joelvandyne

8/31/15 9:52am

Haha. Are you suggesting that BYU fans are superior judges of Heisman talent

Virginia Ute

8/31/15 9:54am

By comparison to Ute fans, yes.

joelvandyne

8/31/15 9:58am

Hahah ok. Question 1: how old when we're you in 1991?

It's Whittingham quote smack.

I will concede we lose the Heisman smack dept...

Virginia Ute

8/31/15 10:08am

It would be pretty crazy to have a school that's never had a Top 3 Heisman

Gentleman Stan

8/31/15 9:54am

I don't disagree with that.

Virginia Ute

8/31/15 10:03am

Do you agree with the OP or not?

Jeremy

I don't disagree.

Virginia Ute

8/31/15 10:11am

McMahon and Young aren't playing at BYU this year, otherwise I'd agree with you.
