Vince Young says he wants Reggie's Heisman Trophy
 

Here is what he said:

"I definitely want it, I definitely want it,'' said Young, who was runner-up for the Heisman that year, when he guided Texas to the national championship. "But he won it fair and square definitely, and it's much respect to Reggie, man. He had a great career and he's already won a Super Bowl before me. I'm already mad about that.

"But at the same time I am definitely happy for him, man, and he is definitely the Heisman Trophy winner for that year. But if they send it over to me I am not going to say no to it.''

Props to Vince...lol

Well hey, if Bush can't have it, it's only right for the runner up to get it, i don't see nothing wrong with Vince saying give it to him, if Reggie would have sucked that year Vince Young would have been hoisting the Heisman up instead of Reggie, and he probably would have ended up on The saints roster as well lol and hoisting up a Lombardi 5 years later.

Yeah, at least he acknowledges that bush won it fair and square.

I like Vince.....just don't wanna see him on a drunken night at a nightclub!

if Bush is "guilty" It should go to Vince. I mean what do our kids say...? dad, who won the trophey in 05? Says here nobody did?

and who can blame him really? I like the guy's story.
would make a nice SB story.
2 dat.

Guilty? Guilty of what.... accepting gifts and a ride in a Limo? In regards to winning the Heisman Trophy, he did nothing that would justify it being removed... steroids, growth hormone, betting on his own games, cheating in any way, etc... Nothing he did off the field effected what he did on the field...

As far as for Vince.. Dude, why would you want it?

"Daddy, you won the Heisman in 05'?"... "no Reggie Bush did but he rode in a Limo so they gave it to me"... WTF? Accepting that trophy is like picking up your best friends ex at last call because there was nothing left... Nothing to be proud of...

I agree he's not "guilty" or even desrves to be stripped. Not my decision. I accept that - but if he IS stripped it should go to the runner up.

as for your analogy it is mixed at best.

If accepting an award as a runner up after the winer is stripped is like picking up your best friend's ex because there was nothing left

then, advancing to the presidency after an impeachment (deserved or not) is like arguing with me on a chat line at 5 in the morning 'cuz there is nothing left.

oh, all in good fun my friend.

exiled... I understand your point about runner ups and all, and agree that second place should always get the first place trophy if first place cheated or is stripped. This is 5 years after the fact... FIVE years lol thats 1/2 an NFL career.

1. I am not arguing.. You mis-took my tone :)
2. Someone has to run the country... there are dutys to be done.... I am not sure there are any 2005 Heisman responsibilities left to be filled lol..:clown:

Wow... "Reggie won it fair and square."

Vince Young, stop being likable. I already had my mind made up you were a jerk. I am unduly biased now into liking the guy just a little bit for this interview.

EXILED--- are you Exile, who speaks French, and was banned from Site-X, and lived in mandeville? same guy?

"This isn't Nam man, there are rules" and if you don't adhere to them what's the point in having the trophy.

I dont know... whats the point of being a Kennedy when all of your power and money came from selling illegal alcohol ? :)

Vince should get it if Reggie stripped...why is this an issue?

The honorable and finacially smart thing for Reggie to do is give back the trophy. People would respect the fact that he owned up to his mistakes, something uncommon in the world today. As of right now, it will always be disputed if he really earned it across the board. If I were him I'd write a book telling the whole story of how it got to this point and return the trophy the day the book came out.

nope - never lived in mandeville, dont speak french, dunno what site-x is.

In the whole scheme of things this just isn't that important.

Why did it take this long?? If they were going to do it - do it 4 years ago.

BUT if he is stripped they already said no one would get it.

Reggie has a ring with most likely more coming in the near future. It would probably hurt to lose his trophy, but he has other shiny things to take it's place. As for Vince Young I think he has handled this rather well and If it were me I'd take the trophy just for kicks.

The trophy should remain vacated.

That sends a powerful, meaningful message.

If he was 2nd in voting give it to him !!!!

Didn't he use the money to help his parents get a better house, in a better neighborhood? If that's true, then to me, it was totally worth it. Mom and Dad, trumps everything else, no matter what it is.

yeah... its not like he was out buying jewelry and ho's. Reggie didnt need a ho. He had Kim.

What a chicken**** deal. Like every other college hotshot isnt getting paid in some way.

I think a bunch of colleges should do the logical thing. Secede (or as FF says, "succeed," from the NCAA. HAHAHA...
