Eric Berry is on the Heisman hunt!

If you read this blog and not UTsports.com I applaud your efforts for the deepest of the underground news.. however, utsports.com announced the other day that the coaching staff and the school will be pushing hard all season to have Eric Berry named the 09-10 Heisman Champ.. The heisman voters havent given much love to the big orange in the category -

People are saying it goes to the offensive player, and that its rare for a defensive player to win the heisman... uh-huh.. they say its been 11 years since a Defensive player won the heisman! Right.. You know why a defensive player won the heisman in 1998? Beacuse Peyton Manning was the runner up, and the stooges that vote for the heisman weren't about to see it in orange.. So one voter said "lets vote for the defensive guy", and the other voter said, "we can do that?"

And that was the last time Tennessee had a shot a heisman and the last time a defensive back won the heisman -

So basically unless Eric starts taking snaps, running draws, throwing touchdowns, catching bombs, and also sets the single season record for intereceptions I dont see it happening.

But that doesnt mean I dont want it to! Go Vols and Go Eric "Record Breaker" Berry!!
