>Reasons why the Hobey Baker Award is better than the Heisman Trophy
 
Here's one for the smug:
 
The Hobey Baker Award is named after a true sportsman, a college athlete
who performed well academically, excelled at football and probably some
other sports as well as hockey, and who was always described as gracious
in victory or defeat.
 
The Heisman Trophy is named after a football coach who once had his team
pour it on against an outmanned opponent to the tune of a 222-0 final
score.
