Mack Brown: If Bush loses Heisman, give it to Young

MojoMan

Hall of Fame
There has been some talk lately of Reggie Bush being stripped of his 2005 Heisman trophy as a result of being declared ineligible during the 2005 season. If Bush is declared ineligible, then how could he possibly be eligible for any awards for his play that season? It is a good question that will be resolved by the Heisman Trust Committee that awarded Bush the Heisman trophy to begin with.

If Bush is stripped of the award, then Vince Young is the obvious recipient of the award. He was second in the Heisman voting that year. And he was without question one of the most amazing college players in NCAA football history. If Bush is stripped of the award, Mack Brown is right. Vince Young should be awarded the Heisman trophy.

Brown: If Bush loses Heisman, give it to Young

If the Heisman Trophy Trust takes back Reggie Bush's 2005 Heisman Trophy, Texas coach Mack Brown believes Vince Young should get it.

"If they take it away, I think Vince should be awarded the trophy," Brown said on Dan Patrick's syndicated radio show on Monday.

"I think you have to go back and really give that choice to the Heisman Trust. If they take it away, I think Vince should be awarded the trophy," Brown said on "The Dan Patrick Show" on Monday. "Vince was second in the voting, so even if they re-voted I would like to see Vince get it."

I hear Young doesnt want it. I think its more important to the school than Young at this point.

But even if Bush was getting money on the side, he still had a hell of a year on the field.

I did then and and still think it should be awarded to Vince Young. If he doesn't want it, then I'll take it, but he is still the one who earned it IMO.

Vince never did anything illegal. Take your Haterade elsewhere.

Longhorns won the National Championship. No amount of hate can change that. Vince was awesome at Texas. The Longhorns have the best athletic program in the nation and are an undisputed football power.

I agree Vince Young and UT deserve the award, provided the Heisman Committee has let the investigation of USC/Bush conclude. The biggest issue I had with the Cushing ordeal was the knee-jerk reaction to the news without getting all the facts. I hope they have the patience to wait until they hear the whole story, but it does seem like this is an open and shut case regarding Reggie Bush.

At the time, I was hoping Vince would win the Heisman. I saw him play at Kyle Field a few weeks before the winner was announced, and he was awesome despite having a 'down' game. His performances all year were incredible for a QB, and he really brought his A game every week that year. He went out to the Rose Bowl and proved that he was the truly the best player that year beating out both of the Heisman winners of USC.

IMO Bush was gifted the trophy by the media due to hype around him. I remember the 500 all-purpose yards against Fresno State and "The Bush Push" getting a lot of ESPN time towards the end of the season, because they just loved this guy. The 'Bush Push' coverage was just crazy though. The day of that game the highlights accredited Leinart punching it through on the goalline, but the next day someone coined the term 'Bush Push' and the media just ran with it giving all the attention to Reggie. It was just stupid.

I believed Vince should get it then and now. I hear he doesn't want it though. If he doesn't accept it, I will then really dislike him more than I do now because to me he could really do even more for the school. A) He would show what kind of class players come from that school. B) He would help put the school back in the media which will help the school in the long run in terms of recruiting. C) Even if he doesn't want the award and accepts it, he will be honoring the school that recruited him and the fans that supported him. And that's coming from a Texan fan that walked away from him at Texas Land and Cattle Co. so that I could get Kasey Studdard's autograph.

If Vince were to accept the award, I would hope that he would have class even in is disapproval of receiving the award. I hope he doesn't say something to the affect of ' it belongs with me anyway' and be arrogant about it. I wouldn't even mind him voicing his displeasure if he could do it with class and say something to the affect of 'Even though I'm accepting an award that may have a proverbial asterisk mark, my play on the field while attending the University of Texas should and will justify my receiving this award. However, I don't receive this for me personally but I receive it to honor The University of Texas where we work to prove that integrity always wins in the end."

If he can do those two things. I think Vince's legendary status will remain.

I think Bush should be stripped of the award, and then the Heisman award for 2005 should be vacated. And that's the reason I don't think the Heisman committee will take any action at all, because if they took my suggestion that might cause a bigger controversy by NOT awarding it to VY.

Really? Because I seem to remember Ramonce Taylor who was one of the biggest players on the Longhorns National Championship team getting busted for 5 pounds of marijuana in the off season and getting knocked off of the Texas team completely.

I seem to also remember Tarrell Brown who was one of the best CB's in the country catching a gun case a week before the Ohio State game and the team suspending him for that game where they lost to passing offense led by the Heisman winner in Troy Smith.

Texas sure as hell didn't protect PJ Tucker that well either when they suspended him from the Texas basketball team for his grades when he was one of the best players on their team and in the NCAA as well. That was a huge blow to the basketball team that year.

Sergio Kindle who was one of the best players in the country caught a DUI out there in Austin as well.

Hell, I could go on and on and name probably about 10 other guys, it's that easy. You seem to forget that Texas was being criticized all over the nation two years ago for all of it's players that were getting arrested.


Now I won't sit here and act naive and act like all big programs don't work their ways around some of the asinine NCAA rules at times, but if you're caught then you're caught and it's obvious. Just because of a few big time schools getting caught in the past and recently with USC, that doesn't all of a sudden mean that Texas is doing all of the same things as you'd like to believe just because you find it easy for you. Until Texas has some major allegations, or investigations, or anything of that sort, you're just beating a drum with nothing to substantiate it with.

But there's one thing wrong with your theory which is this: your "big time USC" program would still be moving right along at top speed with its full complement of football scholarships if Bush had kept his nose clean.
The NCAA was in there investigating for years and the only football player they caught dirty was little Reggie. Apparently everybody else was clean,
including a lot of other very talented NFL-bound players who surely were
the recipients of some very enticing offers from agents just as Bush was. Yet they declined while Bush didn't and therefor he single-handedly brought down the whole USC program.

Would someone else be reading this statement for him? I also don't think that taking money as a college player is cheating. The NCAA and the colleges use the players image and name to make millions and most of these kids will never make it to the pros.

If the NCAA says no and the player says yes and follows through, then it's cheating. I don't disagree that the rules should be changed, but until they are the player has to count the cost of the decisions of going against the rules.

Vince was in the running for the Heisman, and since now the decision has been made that Bush did not follow NCAA guidelines, IMO, it should be awarded to Vince. That has nothing to do with how much or little I like him, moreso about production and that championship that UT holds for the most part especially in the closing moments was the athleticism and unbelievable will to win that Vince demonstrated.

Two sources close to the Heisman trust said the body’s investigation is coming to a close, and will ultimately concur with the NCAA’s determination that Bush was ineligible during his Heisman-winning season in 2005. Because of that independent conclusion, sources said the trust will relieve Bush of the award and leave the honor for that season vacant.

The Heisman Trophy Trust reportedly will strip 2005 winner Reggie Bush of the award by the end of the month and name no winner for that season, according to a Yahoo report.

Bush would be the first athlete in the 75-year history of the award to be stripped of the honor.

Really? Because I seem to remember Ramonce Taylor who was one of the biggest players on the Longhorns National Championship team getting busted for 5 pounds of marijuana in the off season and getting knocked off of the Texas team completely.
Ramonce Taylor was busted just outside of Little River-Academy Texas, about 5 miles from where I lived at the time. He was involved in a fight of sorts while partying in a grove of pecan trees, had a window broken out, threatened to come back with a gun, called the police and met them at a convenience store, had his car searched, at which time 5 pounds of marijuana was found. This occurred in Bell County, and IIRC was investigated and charged through the Bell County Sheriff's Department, where I used to work. Because I worked with those guys who were Field Deputies at the scene, I know most of them are big sports fans who would have known who Taylor was. Taylor was a STAR RB at Belton High School, where I went, so everyone knew who he was. Bell County deputies did not give him a pass just because of who he was. On the other hand, I know law emforcement people in various Travis County departments who have said it is common practice to do everything possible to keep a TU player from being arrested. I've been told their players have been driven home when stopped for DWI, marijuana disposed of when found, tickets written when others would have been arrested, etc. I'm not saying they never get in trouble, because they do, but from what I was told every effort is made to protect TU players when possible.

I am an Aggie, so I always try to get what I can as far as dirt on TU, lol...

I won't act like something like that probably hasn't happened plenty of times, but don't sit here and act like the opposite doesn't happen as well where UT players are "targeted" by law enforcement because of who they are as well. That's been talked about a lot with UT and just three years ago that was heavily documented and UT was getting their players arrested all over the place. Everyone is not a football fan or a UT fan around those parts and many people in law enforcement are always "itching" to arrest a big time college player like that as well. Being a big time player can be your crutch in many cases and in many others it can be the hammer that hits the nail for you.

What I said was I have been told by different people inside the law enforcement community that TU players were given a free pass if possible. I never said always. I said the Bell county deputies, even knowing who he was, arrested him and effectively ended his career at TU. I didn't say they never get arrested; on contrary, I say they get arrested too much. It just seems to be the culture of their athletic program. Not saying all TU athletes are thugs, but they tend to attract a larger number of them then say, Texas A&M, where a Code of Honor is taught as a way of life.

Are you honestly trying to act like Texas is some program that just picks up nothing but thugs, but in the same sentence you act like Aggie is the polar opposite and write ""An Aggie does not lie, cheat or steal, or tolerate those who do" and then even call it their "code of honor?" :user:

Just because the Aggies dress up in these wannabee military outfits and wear these buzz cuts from the 60's doesn't make them any more commendable than any other Texas School. First I've heard of someone trying to brag on being part of the ROTC. Lol!

I don't have a dog in this hunt (UT vs. ATM), but I just attended my first football game at Kyle Field as an adult last weekend. Fun trip (what a home crowd!) and I have a lot of respect for the kindness of Aggies. I was wearing my son's school colors, and I never heard a disparaging or negative remark (perhaps the 48-7 blowout made everyone happy, but I digress..)

Anyway, I've never paid attention to the Aggie fight song, and I was kind of surprised when I heard the lyrics. It seemed - to me, at least - that Aggies have a bit of inferiority complex going with that fight song. I do not mean this to be disrespectful in any way, but I never knew that hatred for UT was such an integral part of the Aggie way-of-life. It certainly explains a lot of the animosity that I've seen the 43 years that I've lived in Texas.

For the record, I do not favor either school and I like folks (and have friends) from both UT and ATM. I do get a kick out of all the razzing y'all give each other, though. :slapfight:

As far as this story goes, what a joke Reggie Bush has turned out to be. yeah, he might have earned the trophy on the field, but he certainly does not represent what it's supposed to be about. I doubt he really cares, though, with those millions in the bank and that shiny new ring on his finger.

If VY really said he doesn't want it, I have to give him a bit of credit. I don't blame him for feeling this way several years after the fact. It kind of loses it's luster to be awarded something so prestigious years and years later. I think the Heisman people made the right call in the end.

It's totally an inferiority complex that has existed since way before I was ever born. You can totally see it in Pollardized's posts. Personally I've never hated the Aggies and I root for them most of the time if they're not playing Texas or TT. I actually root for most Texas teams. I root for TCU some as well.

But when some little troll from A&M comes along trying to bash Texas and starts trying to shovel sniveling remarks about the school or the team in general, I always just get a good kick out of it honestly. Texas is so head and shoulders above what A&M will ever be, that their fans and Alumni can't help but to "live to hate" UT. It's a certain bitterness that just won't ever go away. But to Longhorns fans, it's a joke really. It's like watching your drunk neighbor who can't ever behave that can barely stand up wandering over into your yard and bitching and cursing at you because he wasn't invited to your house party where he holds a grudge against you and your other guests. Lol! You just get a kick out of him for a minute or so and then you kick him back over to his own lawn where he belongs.

All hail to dear old Texas A & M,
Rally around the Maroon and White,
Good luck to the dear old Texas Aggies,

And makes us yell and yell and yell;
So let's fight for dear old Texas A & M,

Good luck to the dear old Texas Aggies
They are the boys that show the real old fight
"The eyes of Texas are upon you..."
That is the song they sing so well
So good-bye to Texas University
We're going to beat you all to--
