Mark Ingram won, with Toby Gerhart second. Interesting to look at all the blog comments regarding the heisman trophy process. A lot of people question Ingram selection over Gerhart, given that both are running backs and Gerhart won Doak Walker award for best running back in the country.
A lot of people bvelieve Heisman is basically the award for the MVP of the #1 Team. Lots of support for Suh from Nebraska too.... so the Heisman award is surrounded in controversy just like the NCAA Football national championship process. That is good and bad.
Debate, difference of opinion, cases made for others, etc. Just shows how many fans there are, and how passionate each fan is for their favorite player, team, etc. There is far less interest and debate in professional football, with its playoff system. Not saying that is bad, but point is, people will be talking about who should win Heisman or who should be number one until next year's season is underway...makes the season and interest last a lot longer...

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
