From right to left: Coach Sulky Face, Javon Ringer's grill, and Lowly Grad Assistant who is inexplicably all up in it.
Your first clue: He goes to a university that defines itself entirely in relation to another school. Seriously. This urbandictionary page is a fascinating case study in the unparalleled wonder that is the Spartan Psyche.
But there are more. First of all, he's not even the best at his position. Knowshon Moreno has 250 fewer yards...on less than half the carries. He still has almost as many TDs as Ringer, despite not being his team's whole offense. Cal's Jahvid Best performed better than Ringer in direct play against MSU, and also has better stats for the whole year.
Even if he were the best RB, this is a terrible year for RBs. Comparatively, the QB situation is perverse. There are possibly 47 QBs who are more Heisman-worthy than Ringer in the Big Twelve alone. That is an exaggeration. But Curtis Painter, lamentably, might be the only Big Ten QB who could start almost anywhere in that conference. And I certainly think BYU's Max Hall, USC's Mark Sanchez, Oklahoma's Sam Bradford, and Florida's Tim Tebow should all be above JR. I haven't even mentioned the obvious winner at this point: Mizzou's Chase Daniel. Twenty straight completions? It doesn't matter against whom this is accomplished. The man is the football equivalent of a demigod.
Javon Ringer For Heisman = VERY NO. Seriously. No.
