An Ode to Graham Harrell

Mike Leach is right when it comes to the politics of the greatest honor in college football: the Heisman Trophy. It is a shame that Graham Harrell won't be in New York on Saturday to share in the presentation of the award for which he deserved to be recognized as a finalist. So here is what I have to say...

4747: An Ode to Graham Harrell

So you didn't hit the numbers you had last year
five seven zero five and forty-eight to be clear
but you did lead your team to a top ten spot
and you were one game shy of playing for the pot

forty-one passes that went for six
while just seven of your passes went for picks
harrell to crabtree, such a beautiful sight
406 passes completed leads the country alright

but mccoy completed over 77% of what he threw
and he doesn't just throw, he can run the ball too
and sam bradford has earned a spot in the title game
with 186.3-- his Q-B rating is insane

as for tim tebow, his numbers really don't impress
he leads his team well but he's not better than the rest
with percy harvin and that defense, there's talent galore
but the media is a great customer and florida's a whore

so the question is, graham harrell, where does that leave you?
In the record books for one and a bowl game for two
but more importantly if you show up at the combine to impress
In a football uniform on Sundays, you just might be dressed.

For Tim Tebow, why, do you have so much hate?
My guess is 4 words: Archie Griffin, Ohio State.

For Harrell to miss Saturday
Might not be as bad as one thinks
Since the winner of the top honor
Will surely suffer the Heisman Jinx
