                                                      HEISMAN Joe : HE IS 'the' MAN!

         The winner of the 2019 Heisman Trophy is, Joe Burrow from LSU....  As everyone expected, Mr. Joe Burrow won the award that goes to the Nation's Most Outstanding Football Player, and he won it decisively.  Burrow won by the largest margin in the history of Heisman voting. He received 95% of possible first place votes. 
       "First thing I want to say is..... I want to thank my O-Line first." fighting back tears as he named each one individually, as well as thanking his receivers. "Those guys have been unbelievable. All of my teammates who have supported me, welcomed me with open arms from Ohio. Coming down to the bayou and welcome me as a brother. Its been so awesome. I want to thank the Heisman people for a great weekend and for allowing me to be here, and as well as my family."  He turns to the past Heisman winners behind him on stage and adds that it is such a honor to be up there with them. "I try to leave a legacy of hard work, preparation, and loyalty, and dedication everywhere ever I go. I'm surrounded by such good people that make that so easy."  Burrow continue to pause several times in what was a very emotional speech. "Louisiana, the entire state. Like I said earlier, just a kid from Ohio coming down, chasing a dream. The entire state has welcomed me and my family with open arms and has invited us in to be native Louisianians. I've learned to love crawfish and gumbo. During crawfish season, Coach O would make sure that we would have pounds and pounds and pounds of crawfish in  that year."    He would then add fighting back tears.   "Coach O,............. you have no idea what you mean to my family...... I didn't play for three years. You took a chance on me....Not knowing if I could play or not....... I'm forever grateful for you..  Can you imagine a guy like Coach O,  giving me the keys to this football program?...........It just means so much to me and my family. And that LSU, I hope they give him a life time contract, because he sure deserves it... "     
      Just as he has done all season long, Joe Burrow continued to set another record tonight as he takes home one of college football's most prestigious awards. What a fantastic week and season it has been for the LSU football program, its players, coaches, and fans. As many of us know, it's not over with yet.  Congratulations Joe Burreaux!
