But the Heisman Trophy, I think we can argue, Joe, or maybe agree. Maybe the biggest award that you can possibly get, like Super Bowl MVP is great, MVP of the basket, like all that. I think the Heisman is the most recognizable award though. No, it is, and, uh, I'm just looking at some interesting information. I was, I was looking at, I was looking at, uh, Diego Pavia and Fernando Mendoza walking down Times Square for tonight. Uh, look, I, I mean if you watched the Big 10 championship game last week, Fernando Mendoza at one point was 170, and, and, uh, uh, Diego Pavia was 170, and Mendoza was, was tailing off. Because of the performance in the first half against Ohio State, then fast forward, you have the late, uh, comeback by Indiana to, uh, pull that game out, and all of a sudden Fernando Mendoza is -2500 to steal the, uh, hardware, and Diego Pavia was as high as 12 to 1. He settled back in at 10 to 1. Look, it, it, it's a popularity award. Diego Pavia hasn't played in two weeks, Donnie, so like, uh. Yeah, yeah, he has more, I think, hype than Fernando Mendoza, but, uh, the voters only remember last week, which was Mendoza with the 4th quarter drive to seal the deal against top-ranked Ohio State. So for me, I, I, I don't see any way how Mendoza doesn't take it tonight. But again, if you want to take a lottery ticket, the value is there on Pavia. Yeah, we take a look right now in the predictive markets, Joe, looking at Cal, she had 90. 8% chance for Fernando Mendoza, which means a $100 wager right now we'll give you $3. But you say, hey, that's an extra $3 you know, they could put towards good use, Joe. You're gonna fire away. Can you buy a coffee with $3? Can't even buy a coffee with that. Maybe, maybe a soft pretzel at a gas station. You could some gas station sushi, $3. You can be able to cash that ticket in here. But talk to me about this because I think it's a perfect revelation of what we saw last week where you might say to yourself, Joe, right, hey, well, Mendoza's 98. 0% he's gonna win it because if I do the math here for Diego Padres, let's say at a 4% chance, Joe, a $100 wager pays back $2500 and some would say you're wasting your money. Look at the odds, Joe. What about the odds for Notre Dame last week minus $3000 and they didn't even make it in. Yeah, I know, but the, the Heisman is a little bit different because I feel like this, this install poll, people already know it, like this is leaked a little bit, you know. Mendoza is linked as the number one overall. Draft for you know, in May. So you know, I think it's gonna, it's gonna be very hard, uh, for, you know, Diego Pavia, and you, you see it right now. I mean, could Jeremiah Love steal it? I, no, his team's not even in the way shouldn't I look, I'm not saying this is wrong though, but the graphic's gonna pop up here. The some of the odds on some of the guys that you think that possibly could look at it here. By the way, let me see here. This was the beginning of the season graphic that we're looking at behind the scenes. What is that? Because why would Mendoza be 50 to 1. It's like the first week of the season. I don't know, first week of the season. There we go. So that, that's where the line movers were. But talk to me about this though. Like Diego Pavia, I just wish he would have got a chance, Joe, in the SEC championship game. Like he pulls out. Like when you go back on some of like the biggest moments where you're right, people remember last. You have, you know, Johnny Football going into Alabama. They always remember that game. It's like, wow, this guy's gonna be the Heisman Trophy winner. But we did agree last week on that Big 10 champion. Championship game didn't matter the statistics. If Mendoza won, he's probably gonna be the Heisman winner. Yeah, he, I mean, he knocked off Tennessee. He snapped a six-game losing streak. They were smacked around by the volunteers. They had lost those games by almost 4 touchdowns, 26.6 points per game over the last 4 meetings. They got smacked around after they jumped out last year to Tennessee. He went into Knoxville. He went into. To Neyland Stadium, had a huge performance. He put up the previous week against Kentucky 484 yards and 5 touchdowns. He almost knocked off Texas, right? His second half comeback. They lost but covered, and he went toe to toe with Alabama. He, he, if he would have picked up either one of those victories, he probably would have stole the Heisman, and he would have been in the playoff to boot. Take a look at this, Joe. Just looking at some of those previous Heisman Trophy winners, man. There are some like the who's who of football like the past 15 to 20 years. If you have a memory for yourself, Joe, Heisman Trophy, look who was your favorite guy that got the Heisman Trophy. Barry Sanders back in the day. Barry was good. I mean, you know, thinking back. I mean, some of the, you know, Reggie Bush to me in, in '05 was, you know, that, that year was amazing, and liner and that team, you know, recent memory, you just think last 20 years, I mean. I grew up with Herschel, Bo Jackson, you know, 1984, 1985. I mean, Chuck Long, those guys, you know, battling it out. I mean, that's what I remember about the Heisman, right? You just think about, and, and Charles Woodson, 1997 watching that game, yeah, with the punt. Well, yeah, but I'm Peyton, but I'm talking about the Ohio State game where he runs back. He, he ran back, yeah, punt return for a touchdown and they smack Ohio State. They, he, he poses the Heisman. He seals the deal. Desmond Howard, I mean we can go on and on. I mean the great players that played in. The 19990s and obviously, you know, 2000s, uh, uh, and up until this point, it, it, it, it has lost its luster. It's not the same, you know, we, we, you know, Baker, you can make the argument winning, you know, that, that it got back to that and obviously Kyler and all that, but, but it, it, it's a loss, it's a, it's a popularity award, you know, think about it. Desmond Howard was for me growing up, I mean, the catch against Notre Dame was phenomenal.
