true story
Bush deserved the heisman. No one was bringing up the argument for VY to win it until after that championship game, which came after the award was given

Exactly. This idea that Vince should have won the Heisman is straight revisionist history.

Guess you weren't in here when threads were being made that December on how premature all of the talk of greatness was. Multiple threads discussing how they were already putting that team in all-time great categories before the game was even played and how disrespectful that was. This had a lot to do with the fact that Reggie's team hadn't seen strong comp that whole season before that game.
There were also many threads talking about how great VY was not only as a leader of a better team, but stats-wise as well. He was putting up numbers as a QB that hadn't been seen before.
The real "revisionist" history is going on in this thread. Unless you guys just started watching college football within the last ten years, there's no way in hell that Bush's career or season could be characterized as "Jordanesque". There have been a good amount of players that have had better seasons and were just as dangerous with the ball.

Sounds about right idk how this even up for debate. I know it's been six or seven since reggie played at SC but nikkaz already forgot how immaculate this nikka was looking on the grid iron that year, every game there was at least 3 eye popping plays; it like he was quicker and faster than everybody out there. Around that time to La Pro teams weren't shyt so the city embraced them more than any other sports in la. In Los Angeles were there million things to do going to SC game was the hottest ticket in town and trust Reggie Bush was the main attraction.

I was talking about Bush getting the Heisman over Young. Most of what you typed is irrelevant to that.
This statement is just not true at all. As someone who was working in D1 CFB during the 2005 season, Reggie Bush was definitely the hottest thing smoking in a long time. After the Fresno State game when he had 500+ (FIVE HUNDRED AND THIRTEEN!!!!) all-purpose yards the Heisman was garunteed and nobody was talking Vince Young should win it - it was only after Young scored that game winner in the championship game.
I just don't know what you were watching or where you were at but Reggie Bush was the king of football that year and you could pull up some random ass numbers (Ron Dayne rushed more than RB probably any year) but Bush was one of the most electrifying players EVER in college football.

Jordanesque, not quite. On some Kobe shyt though, definitely.

I never said he wasn't the hottest thing going that year. Where are you getting that from? I simply said that in SOHH, amongst a number of posters (mostly TX fans of course), there were some who did make a strong case for VY BEFORE THE NC GAME.
Of course, after the game those voices were much louder.
This thread is about Bush being "Jordanesque" in college, which to me means that he was head and shoulders above all others not only that season, but historically. Maybe i'm reading too much into Stephen A Smith's statement, but my point is that Bush is definitely not the best college football player I've ever seen in my lifetime, whereas Jordan is undoubtedly.

exactly
I'll never forget that Fresno St. game, this lil nikka accounted for 514 yards by himself.
