Bryson for Hysman

Why not?? This kid is so critical to our success. He is a fullback playing a high caliber level of quarterback.

Bryson for Hysman!

It is way too early in the season, and Army has not yet gotten into the more challenging part of the schedule, but this is actually not that crazy a comment. There is no way he would ever win, but if Keenan Reynolds could have made it to that night in NYC, Bryson could too if things break right. Reynolds was good, obviously, but also was good as promoting himself, as Navy tended to do back in those days.

I was talking to my dad about Daily on the phone after the game today. I think he might be better than both Bradshaw and Hopkins. Maybe better than Steelman. If he stays healthy, this could be a magical season.

Not to be picky here but the HEISMAN trophy was named after Coach John Heisman who at Georgia Tech at the time rolled up the all-time record for points in a football game by beating Cumberland College, 222-0 way back when in the early days.
Can you imagine any team today rolling up a score like that?? The media would have a field day with that one.
Notre Dame was beat by Army in a rout in 1944 beating the Irish, 59-0, complaining by its fans that Army poured it on yet two weeks earlier ND beat Dartmouth, 64-0. Never heard a complaint about that one.
Also in historical context, the Irish, known as the Ramblers before they changed the name to the Irish back early in the 19 hundreds, beat the "powerful "American Medical College by the score of 112-0.
I hope those aspiring doctors turned about better doctors than football players.

Incidentally, that Army defeat of 59-0 STILL after all these years, remains the all-time biggest loss in Notre Dame football history.

rabble. What the hell are you talking about? Please stop interjecting into threads with references from 50-60 years ago. We appreciate your long fandom, but most of what you say is marginally relevant now. We are talking about whether Bryson Daily could work his way into the Heisman conversation. Not who the Heisman Trophy is named after. Please stop.

OK, OK, I was just saying fact and not discouraging anything or anybody.
Some of you don't give a damn about the history of college football. You can say what you want to say but what I said was true and facture about the history and spelling of that trophy. It 'aint spelled HYSMAN.
By the way, that first trophy was given to Jay Berwanger of the University of Chicago in the middle 1930's and the runner up that year was Army's own Charles "Monk" Meyer.
If you want to talk about the relevancy of anything , talk about the origins of where the hell it all came about and not blast a poster for giving a little history about what you are talking about orr don't talk about it at all.
Do you even know who Monk Meyer was? I doubt it. Read, if you can, about some of Army's long past. I would think most fans would appreciate about the past great players who made this program what is today.
Some of you don't know anything unless it was made five years ago.
Today, the team may be stronger, faster and helped by present day training and nutrition but they aren't any better than they were 75 years ago.
Just ask me. Yeah, I was around 75 years ago and longer than that.

By the way man, if Army football history is not relevant, why the hell are they spending 175 million US Dollars on east stand reconstruction as a memorial to West Point's glorious past ?
Hell, they should have then spent that money fixing up the whole damn 100-year old stadium as it was. Ego trips we don't need. What we need is some common sense. Of course, common sense is out the window this day and age. Just look at our politics which has generated nothing but personalities over policies.

He will need to have a masterclass game against Notre Dame to attend the ceremony.

Play calling and offensive game planning were horrible in 2022, but makes you wonder if Brent Davis might have saved his job if he played Daly instead of tyler.

Considering we ran the qb 20 times a game off tackle that year, prob would have been more successful with a guy that’s 220lbs and not 5-7.

[oldgrad74]

Rabble - so it is Heisman and not Hysman? Go figure.

Plus beating AF.
