So, I'm trying to come up with a top ten list for a radio show
this Saturday, and I was hoping people on *this* list had enough ideas
to fill it out to ten. Here's what I have so far:
Reasons why the Hobey Baker Award is better than the Heisman Trophy
-- No one poses for the Hobey Baker Award when they score.
-- Hobey Baker played hockey *and* football.
-- Heisman Trophy winners can write their own tickets; Hobey Baker
winners labor in obscurity like the rest of us.
-- Only one recent Hobey Baker Award winner ended up with a
Mickey Mouse team.
-- If a Hobey Baker winner ends up playing in Canada, it's not
a bad thing.
-- Two words: Olympic Football.
-- How often does a guy from Bowling Green win the Heisman?
Once I look up where Walter Heisman went to college, I'll have
another one...
