My Two Cents On The Heisman

 

 

What if the Heisman Trophy had most of its weight on the character of a person as well as merit on the field? I know that stats on the field, style points and being on a wining team are standards that most voters use but what if…

 

What if the way a person handles the life of  being the top player of the year in college leaves no doubt about his good character traits. As highly publicized as the Heisman Trophy is and the influence that he has over young football players should be taken into consideration when it is time to pick the most highly praised college football player.

 

The player that comes to my mind first is Blake Sims from the Alabama Crimson Tide . He is a fifth year senior that has done everything right (on and of the field) with the one exception of not being flashy. It seems today that any candidate has to be overtly-boisterous. If character meant anything to the Heisman then he would be at the top of the list along with his teammate Amari Cooper. Amari certainly is a great candidate but the way Simms has over-come all of the critics and raise above the rest time and time again shows me on and of the field he is the Heisman.  

 

 

 Update

     (Amari Cooper in the final three candidates)

I am not one that usually root for quarterbacks as Heisman contenders. I think that quarterbacks get much more credit over great linemen at times. However, Blake Sims has shown me that doing it the right way is worth more than anything….just ask his teammates. Good luck Blake.

Cafe Studel West Coal SC

I still have love for the small café in West Columbia. Brunch on Sundays has become a favorite of the wife. It's worth the wait.

 

 

The atmosphere is one of the best in the city to enjoy a great new flavor of coffee and or try a new dish.

 

Just across the bridge from Columbia and two lights later, take a left turn and you are there.

I Am Not A Dog

 

 

Whatever side you take make sure that side is inline with the Word Of God.

 G.E.E.

( Grow in Christ - Encourage others to seek Christ - Enjoy God's Glory)

 

 

 

Like a dog that returns to his vomit is a fool who repeats his folly.

Proverbs 26:11

 

 

 

 

Hire a fool or a drunk

and you shoot yourself in the foot.

 As a dog eats its own vomit,

    so fools recycle silliness.

 See that man who thinks he’s so smart?

    You can expect far more from a fool than from him.

Proverbs 26:10-12



Lake Murray Locks Growing

 

 

The locks on the fence on the Lexington side seemed to have slowed down for now. For a while there it seemed that at the pace they were being put up there would soon be too many to see the lake. However, the fence still has plenty of space left.

 

There is also some nice work being done to get rid of all of the rust on the railing. Let's hope that the primer put on this time takes care of that. Things are starting to look good again on the Dam Walk across Lake Murray.  Irmo, City of Columbia, Lexington County, Richland County or whoever else thank you.

 

Now, if you can keep the few liters in-tack.
