The numbers wouldn't be close if they had the same talent at receiver and tight end. The difference is notable at a glance.

Yup. Murry finished with 4,217 total yards in quarters 1-3 (6.79 yards per play) Tua had 3,474 (6.25 yards per play)


Stats are for nerds. This is a racism issue at this point.

But now it is racism against brown people, which outweighs racism against black people.

Racism in any form is an abomination but, I hate to see Tua punished for the narrowness and hatred of Heisman voters.


You must be a Mizzou grad.

Loving all this pre-melt from the Bama fans. The post-melt will bring my heart joy.

And the irony in that is that the Heisman is supposed to be awarded, or heavily favored, to the best player on the best team who also had the biggest individual impact on his team's success.

Tua was robbed because of his nationality and because of for whom he played. Totally wrong.

Completely false. The Heisman trophy is an individual excellence award. The "on the best team" bullshite is thrown in from time to time to pacify the fans of the team that just had a player fricked over by someone that makes the NCAA more money.

Oklahoma and Alabama are both upper tier teams. Award should be given to best individual player - period - and it was.

Besides, Tua is a basic bitch anyways. Never saw someone hurt so often in my life. Especially considering he has an all pro line protecting him.

Agreed. Dwayne Haskins should have won. They didn't give it to him because he's black though, right? Sad.

bullshite


He didn't show very well in the SECCG. Uga had a great game plan and Tua wasn't a 100. It is what it is and you move on but frick off with that title. LOLZ


If anything blame Saban for pulling him and having the feelz for Hurts getting some plays.

Incorrect. The Heisman was never intended to be awarded to good players on shitty teams, period.

That's debatable.

Wrong. That was never the intention of the Heisman and still is not.

Do you feel this way about Tua because he is Polynesian?

Uh no. I have actually used my Kama'aina discount to buy hard-boiled eggs in many a convenience store. I know where to go to get the best local bento and spam musubi.

I would venture I know a fair bit about Polynesian life and I harbor them, or nobody else, any ill will whatsoever.

I say Tua is a basic bitch out of a lack of respect. Not racism

I see. Are you going to also tell us that you have a Polynesian friend and therefore are immune to all charges of racism. Your type are transparent.

Say whatever you want, man. He didn't win the Heisman. I told you he wouldn't win the Heisman and he didn't. Suck it.

Think y'all will take down Oklahoma for the first time since the Kennedy administration?

Tua is a Koa warrior and fought for his tribe while wounded and still shone brightly and never showed fear.

To deny him the Heisman, after his performances, stats, and vigilant determinism is all the more reason to suspect vile racism as the culprit.

If he were in the military, he would have been awarded the highest of all of the glorified awards for his courage under fire while wounded.
