Gus now fully delusional - thinks Marshall should be in Heisman contention

Just Win · Dec 2, 2013

The madness never ends. Nick Marshall for Heisman?????? He's about the 6th to 8th best QB in our conference.

You know, one of the best statements related to college football I've heard in the past few years was "There's only one team in the country that can beat Alabama, and that's Alabama. All other teams just hope to be there the day that it happens." Auburn was there Saturday and should be grateful. But they're almost all delusional. I thought i'd never see a coach act so smug and unprofessional as Tuberville with his finger pointing and the gyrations, but Gus is quickly surpassing him. He may be the crazier one in his marriage after all....and those of you who remember the video of his wife being interviewed at church know what i'm talking about.

Karma is a bad mutha, Auburn. I'd love to see them get beat on a bad call at the end of the game just to hear them whine about it for a year. On the other hand, they want FSU and I'd also enjoy seeing the 63 - 20 pasting that the Seminoles would likely put on them.

And why not? After all, them not playing in the NC would just be "unamerican"!

Let's be real. Marshall is basically a RB who occasionally throws the bowl, although not in a spiral.

He is just showing Texas what a great marketeer he will be for the short horns.

I think that he is trying to do two things at once - make Auburn look stronger by having a Heisman candidate at QB, and create a buzz for Marshall and Auburn that will carry into next season.

He's a really talented player. I don't think he's a great passer but their offense creates wonderful passing opportunities.

They don't owe anyone an apology for winning the game. Whether we gave it to them or they took it from us, to the victor go the spoils. So let him trumpet his QB for the Heisman. He's not going to win it anyway.

You could certainly make the case that Auburn has the resume to be in the title game. That's not much of a stretch.

But Marshall for the Heisman? Come on.

When I read that here, I guffawed. My favorite part:

He's known primarily as a running quarterback with 922 yards and 10 touchdowns on the ground this season. But when he does throw it, he's efficient with 11 touchdowns, five interceptions and a nearly 60 percent completion percentage.

Good luck spinning that into a Heisman.

Good grief. Cue Jay Jacobs.

This would be the first time we were used as a springboard for a Heisman campaign

Gus actually said Marshall could steal the Heisman.

jthomas666 · Dec 3, 2013

Well, the last thief he recruited to play QB won the Heisman, so why not try again?

Yep, apparently to be a barn man you have to be a criminal or lose your pants in a lake.

I heard there was a recruiting kiosk being built outside the fences at Holman...with a tiger logo on it.....

Hey, I don't fault him at all. He's not paid to be honest and unbiased. He is paid to make Auburn good, sell tickets, and better the overall standing of Auburn University. If he touted everyone all the time for the Heisman, it would not be good. But, coming off the heels of the biggest win for any team for this entire season, yeah, pump up your QB for the Heisman.
I haven't read the article, but based on the thread title, it sounds like Malzahn is just saying Marshall should be in contention. For a head coach to say that about his QB in the position that Marshall and Auburn are in... I don't think it's delusional at all.
Now, for an Auburn fan to think that Marshall should win the Heisman, that is delusional.

Always come back to what I ALWAYS tell you folks:

Auburn woke up Sunday morning basking in the glory and was still playing second fiddle to Alabama's "failure to cover the return" or "the end of the run" or whatever. These folks are certifiably insane with jealousy, which wouldn't be so bad except they like to PRETEND they are above such petty things.

The reason Gus is touting Nick "Can't Hit Him Wide Open" Marshall for the Heisman is obvious: Heisman Trophy winners is the ONE AREA in football where Auburn is indisputably superior to Alabama - the only one. We have more national championships (count it whichever way you want, we still have more), more SEC championships, more bowl wins, more TV appearances, more Super Bowl MVPs, more Iron Bowl wins, more everything except Heisman Trophy winners.

It's the ONE AREA they can tout. Problem is that Marshall isn't even the best player on his team. Let me put it this way: if you took Marshall off of Auburn, would they still be 11-1? Probably, because Tre Mason is more important to their offense. Without Tre, Marshall cannot do anything.

Cam Newton was indisputably the best player in 2010. Marshall isn't even in the right solar system in 2013.
