I concur! lol

Unless we can give him a five year, guaranteed contract? Enjoy while the apex is upon us.

I’d take out a gigantic injury insurance policy on myself, grab a cool $3-$4 million NIL deal and keep my happy arse in Bloomington if it meant avoiding the Cleveland Browns or the New York Jets. Just kidding. (Kinda)

What I want for Fernando (and it’s a pipe dream) is for the Vikings to tank hard enough to secure a top-10 pick, then move heaven and earth to move up to 1 and pair him with KOC. Kirk Cousins and KOC produced some ELITE offensive football. 

But he’ll probably go to Vegas. Blurf.

Get Mendoza in a Dome or a team in the South. Kid is incredible. He’s a warrior and the most selfless person/teammate at the same time. Incredible stuff.

He needs to pull an Eli Manning on the Chargers if the Jets want to pick him and end up in position to get him. Dead serious... that organization is a nightmare.

Jets would be insane to pick him if it’s true about the cold weather. Is Miami wanting a new QB?

BTW guys go back and read the first game thread. Even the Mendoza supporters were wrong.

He’d love that.  Brady would have a vested interest in teaching him.

The first play of the game.

I remember comparing him to Rourke in game one thinking we might be the better team this year with a lesser QB.  He was very inconsistent in that game.  But man, he’s been awesome and clutch all season.

The Vikings might be his best scenario, but I don't think it is in his nature to force his way to a team he wants to go to like Eli or Elway.

'Nando celebrating with his parents. 

For those who don't know, his mom has MS. 

He and Alberto are the cream of the crop. Really, really hope he wins the Heisman. Seems like he will, but you never know ...

I can't wait to see the Heisman House commercials next fall with him.

Heisman finalists announced tonight on Monday Night Countdown. 
There are 5, right? So, Mendoza, Sayin, Pavia,  Love and, who, maybe Rodriguez from TTU?

I doubt the committee will do the right thing, but my five?

1. Mendoza
2. Fisher
3. Ponds
4. Carter Smith
5. Stephen Daley

Or, if they don't want to make it the five that deserve it most, the committee should go with college football's most-interesting:

1. Mendoza
2. OSU's Fielding, he of the 27 yard hooked FG
3. Pavia's mother
4. The ND bowl game MVP
5. Purdue's Browne, for my absolute favorite non-IUFB play of the season, against Rutger:

Replace 2 of the non Mendoza group with the Vanderpimp and the Bowling Green cat.

MVPs no doubt

Vandy’s Pavia campaign has resorted to comparing his and Fernando’s stats. 

……since November 1st. 

It’s a wrap.

They probably should throw in his mother while they are at it.

Would be hilarious if Pavia gets left out of the finalists. Dude didn’t do crap in the games that mattered

Pretty amazed that the fanbase of a high academic school with a reputation for that whole southern gentility thing, and maybe that part's wrong, would debase themselves making a losing argument for a dude who looks and acts like a cast member of Jersey Shore.
