Buzzmaster (5:37 PM)
Check in with me, Buzz, tonight at 7 PM ET, for a chance to chat with some of college football's best players! You never know who will show up next.
Buzzmaster (6:26 PM)
We're setting up here at the ESPN Club on Disney's Boardwalk. We're hoping to have a good crowd here tonight, including some college football stars for y'all to chat with!
Buzzmaster (6:45 PM)
We're about 15 minutes away from the players coming over to the ESPN Club. They're starting to set up the food and, boy, does it smell goooood.
Buzzmaster (6:54 PM)
OK....who's ready to talk to some college football stars?
Buzzmaster (6:54 PM)
I know I am!
Chris North Little Rock Arkansas
Run DMC is the best player in the football nation...give him the respect he needs dont let Nutt bring him down!!!!
Buzzmaster (6:54 PM)
He certainly has a shot to show everyone that on Saturday.
Matt (Gainesville)
Tim, just want to say thanks for making my last semester here at UF so memorable. Just like you, I grew up a die hard Gator fan, and I havent enjoyed watching games as much since Wuerffel was the one running all over FSU.
Buzzmaster (6:55 PM)
If we see him, we'll pass that along.
Buzzmaster (6:55 PM)
We're starting to get some folks filing in here right now. Looks like some presenters or award sponsors.
bamafana (mobile al)
Just because Hawaii is in a non-BCS confrence, how come they arent in the title game?
Colby (Charlotte NC)
why is there a rule that one conference can not have 3 BCS teams. Mizzou sure seemed to be better than the Illini
Dan (Minneapolis, MN)
Colt Brennan? Are you kidding me. Hawaii played a Division III schedule...
Buzzmaster (6:57 PM)
Still broke records. Still had a great senior season. I'm a Colt fan. Became an even bigger one when we chatted with him right here last year. Good kid.
Big D Clovis
If you are going to put Brennan in the race wit what he played against then why done i hear Kevin Smith his numbers where better by a long way the mcfadden
Buzzmaster (6:58 PM)
Good point. Not enough promotion for him, I guess.
Buzzmaster (6:58 PM)
Ooooh. That food smells real good.
Buzzmaster (6:59 PM)
Antoine Cason just sat down at the table in front of me. At least I think that's him. Looks like him and has an Arizona shirt on.
Dan (Minneapolis, MN)
I really wish Dixon would've been able to stay healthy. He seems like he made by far the greatest impact on his team, over any of the other candidates. Sad to see his season go like that.
Buzzmaster (7:00 PM)
Just a heads up to all of you. Continuing to send in your question about 100 times in a row is a sure fire way to NOT get it asked. So Joe, cut it.
Colby (Charlotte NC)
What is the reasoning behind the 2 teams per conference bcs rule?
Mike (Atlanta)
I agree and disagree with Colby... If a conference deserved to have 3 teams in the BCS it was the SEC. Year in, year out, that conference proves to be tougher. It shows when you look at the NFL and where which conference has churned out more pro players.
Josh Sheridan
Why does the sophomore Tebow have a shot over the junior McFadden when McFadden lost last year because he was a sophomore?
Buzzmaster (7:01 PM)
If that's peoples' reasoning behind not voting for someone, it's flawed logic.
Laspencer Emerson Arkansas
why do people put tebow in front of dmac.
Kyle (Orlando, FL)
Why do you think there was not enough promotion for Kevin Smith? Is it the schools fault. There's almost 50,000 students and they have plenty of money. U.C.F. is not a small school.
Buzzmaster (7:02 PM)
True, but they're in the CUSA. So small conference and smaller name school means the more you need to get your player's name out there.
taw (uhs)
usc will win the game with a blowout
Brady (Colorado)
Tebow for Heisman! Whats for dinner?
Buzzmaster (7:02 PM)
I think we got some wingers, steak tips and lots of other good smelling items.
Rich A. (Melbourne, FL)
Too bad this won't happen: Colt vs. Tebow in UF's season opener w Hawaii next yr
Buzzmaster (7:03 PM)
Anyone have someone in particular you're hoping to get a questioned answered by? I can be bought, you know.
Will Smith: Winston-Salem, North Carolina
Brennan IS in fact a system QB. Look at his numbers and you will see the game he did not play, was the game in which Hawaii scored the most points. They also won another game in which he only threw two passes. They find a way to win, with or without him and against horrible competition. Timmy Chang, who is by no means a great quarterback threw 38 TDs in this system. Not only that, but Colt Brennan's team carried him on a night where he threw 5 interceptions. Both Daniels and Tebow have to be in front of him. You can not reward cupcake scheduling.
Freeman (Beaverton, OR)
Do you know the truth about people actually voting fot the Heisman and Rankings before the Hawaii-Washington game was finished?
Buzzmaster (7:04 PM)
People can vote whenever their minds are made up. I, however, would not vote until the last possible day so I can see all the games played out.
David (amarillo)
Best player in the country and he is a Freshman is Crabtree from Texas Tech. No Reciever was even close to the number he put up
Bruce (Tennessee)
People put Tebow in front of McFadden because Tebow is a much more important part to his team. If you take McFadden away from the Hogs, they still have someone who can take his place and do just as good or better than him. If you take Tebow away, the Gators offense is nowhere near as good as they are now.
Ryan (NYC)
I can't believe Pat White wasn't invited. WVU looks like garbage twice this year and Pat White got injured in both. The games he played WVU mauled all of their opponents. This is about the body of work and what a player means to a team.
Brett (Tennessee)
Who all is going to be at this dinner?
Buzzmaster (7:06 PM)
Check out this link - http://sports.espn.go.com/chat/sportsnation/story?id=3119104. It shows everyone that was nominated. Those are the players that might be here, depending on travel issues and whatnot.
Buzzmaster (7:07 PM)
They've got a bunch of mini-helmets lined up over on the side table. If I do a really good job with the chat, do you think they'll let me have one?
Brian (Sac, CA)
BCS is a joke - every game doesn't matter once you start comparing losses. Scheduling also doesn't seem to matter much since Kansas found a way into the BCS without winning a single important game!
Tom(Maryland)
Where is Pat White in the finalists? He is def in the top 5 best players in college football.
David Frizzell (Gainesville, GA)
I just wanted to say that I am so excited for Tim Tebow and what he has accomplished this season. I used to live in Florida, and have been a Gator fan since I can remember. hey Tim, you have a great shot at winning the Heisman Saturday! Good Luck!
Cory Norman Oklahoma
Yeah, I'm thinking Colt was a product of the system... But if that is the case so is Crabtree probably.
gmaiea (mililani, HI)
Too bad some controversial stuff was said about Tim and Colt. Hope both of you can raise above it and become friends.
Jaison (Eugene, OR)
Is Dixon there this evening? If so, tell him he still owes me that $20.
Mike(Missouri)
if you see chase daniel tell him i love him and thanks for a great season and look forward to even better times next year!
Tom (Leesburg)
Best receivers in the country may be Crabtree. But best receiving corp is by FAR Hawaii: Mullen, Rivers, Bess all have serious shots in the NFL (1000+ yards each).
Shawn W (Shawnee, KS)
I believe that Anthony Collins should win the best interior lineman award. Not only did they have one of the best rushing attacks he also helped protect one of the better QB's in the nation, Todd Reesing.
Corey (Champaign, IL)
I'm just tired of hearing about how Illinois doesn't deserve the Rose Bowl...goin from a 2 win team the last to years to a 9 win team...and beating Ohio St. in Columbus...I'd say they deserve it
Buzzmaster (7:10 PM)
Here are some names for you. Michael Crabtree, Chase Daniel, Aquib Talib, Craig Steltz, Dennis Dixon, Mike Hart, Mario Manningham....Those are just a few. Hopefully they've all already arrived.
jason (California)
Darren Mcfadden deserves the Heisman, he's been consistan throughout the season and did you how he tore up LSU, the bcs championship contenders for some reason.
ryan (melrose,ma)
I want to ask Tim Tebow if he wears Jorts,Buzz.
GatorGirl, Gainesville
I struck a Heisman pose in front of Tim Tebow last week on campus. He lauged.
Brett (Tennessee)
If you get the chance then, would you ask Tebow if he plans on going pro anytime soon? I really don't want to watch him dominate us for the next 2 years...
Kimo (Honolulu, HI)
I love all the Hatters on Hawaii... LOVIN IT! They have the best offense in the nation no matter who they play... SO keep drinking your HATORADE!
Brian (Sac, CA)
USC is going to DOMINATE the SENIOR BOWL! Sedrick Ellis > Glenn Dorsey
CK (Titletown)
Consistent doesn't include a 43yd. day!
Brett (Tennessee)
Why does Illinois deserve it? They were only picked because the Rose Bowl wanted to preserve the Big 10/Pac 10 matchup. Much better teams were left out of the BCS.
chris (florida)
Brett you should be ashamed of yourself . GO VOLS.
JD (San Diego)
Dennis Dixon got a horrible snag not being a finalist for the heisman. With Dixon the Ducks would have been in the national championship game. You saw how horrible their offense was without him.
Bruce (Tennessee)
Ask Dixon if he plans on still playing baseball. I met him while he was playing for the Braves farm team over the summer. I really enjoyed watching him play.
dan (new york)
definitely colt brennan. By far the best pure thrower in college and the most accurate. He has lead Hawaii to a perfect season, and definitely should win the Heisman
Ted (Maine)
I want to say that its nice to see Jamie Silva up for an award.I met him once while being a student at BC.Probably the nicest guy you will meet.
bigpun_2005 (NV)
What does anyone think about the national championship game?
Nick (Kalamazoo, Mi)
Get Hart chatting! He'd be pretty entertaining
Buzzmaster (7:14 PM)
He was here last year and was pretty cool. Hopefully we can get a few minutes with him. Keep your fingers crossed.
William Tell (FL)
Yes... Tim Tebow really struggled against LSU. He only had 3 TDs (including a 9 yard run).
Brian (Sac, CA)
From a USC fan's perspective, we love playing Illinois - ANOTHER BIG ROSE BOWL WIN FOR THE TROJANS - FIGHT ON!
Brien - Norfolk, VA
If Tebow beats out any of the other QBs, the Heisman will become a joke - not that is already isn't! In 1998, Ricky Williams won, but didn't even lead the nation in rushing - he broke the all-time yards record. Then in 1999, Ron Dayne did the exact same thing! So how could the voters NOT award Colt Brennan! Add the fact that his team is 12-0, not 11-1 or 9-3!!
Austin (Charlottesville)
Chris Long deserves Heisman talks. The guy is insane and so much better than Dorsey.
Robert(Florida)
I think Tim Tebow should win the heisman...after all he does have more rushing td's then any other running back heisman winners. GOOD LUCK!!! Tim Tebow
Jake (Kansas City)
Tell Chase Daniel he played a great season, and sorry for the lost against Oklahoma
Brian (Sac, CA)
What USC players are there?
Buzzmaster (7:16 PM)
Sam Baker is one of the finalists. Not sure if he's here yet.
Bob (Los Angeles, CA)
Congratulations Colt! Make us proud at the Sugar Bowl and beyond.
JT, Nashville, TN
Reggie Bush was under 100 yds five times in his Heisman season. One of McFadden's under 100 yd games he caught a TD and threw a TD. Ths Tebow for Heisman is ridiculous.
CK (Titletown)
Brien, by your logic, Graham Harrell should win the Heisman...He has better numbers than Brennan!
Nick (Kalamazoo, Mi)
If you're going to triumph Chris Long for the Heisman, how can you not talk about big Jake Long?!
Tony (Tucson,AZ)
Antoine Cason why is no one talking about him around the draft boreds, playing at Arizona has hurt hin that much?
Buzzmaster (7:18 PM)
Good question. Send in a question for him and we'll try to get him for a few minutes.
Steve - Orlando
Kevin Smith is on pace to break Barry Sanders record and doesn't get a heisman bid? Don't forget he also led UCF to their first conference championship, something Daunte Culpepper failed to do. Does the guy need to get 3000 yards to be considerd?
Mike (Atlanta)
In response to bigpun, I think the title game will be a joke. A month off will give LSU plenty of time to get healthy and prepare, and they will destroy OSU, just like Florida did last year... guess what, OSU doesn't have a Ted Ginn or a Troy Smith this year, so look for their O' to flounder against LSU's staunch D.
Jared (Ohio)
How many people (if any) have ever finished second in Heisman voting in two consecutive years, as McFadden may accomplish if Tebow or Brennan beats him out?
chris (Florida)
The heisman winners for the next three years:Tim Tebow, Felix Jones, Eric Berry. All from the SEC.
Tom(Texas)
TEBOW FOR HEISMAN!!!!! He is amazing no one is better than him. GATORS RULLE!!
Ben Warren NJ
Do you think Ray Rice has a shot at the NFL?
Bill (LA)
Not Hawaiis fault no one wanted to play them. Michigan USC and other big schools didnt want to play them. Instead Mich chose App. ST. that worked out well
Michael (phx)
Isn't it fitting that the two Heisman Finalists with the only real chance of winning (Tebow and McFadden) come from the best conference in the land? Heisman winner, National Champion this year. All of the other conferences are just playing for second place.
Billy(Tennesee)
Man the football season was crazy I mean come on like all the teams lost. Appalachian State beating Michigan. There was so many more upsets...i wonder what next year has in store for us
Buzzmaster (7:23 PM)
I think some of the players are starting to filter in. Of course their first move was to the buffet. As soon as we can tear them away from their dinners, we'll haul them over here to chat!
Brad (Richmond, Va.)
Is Chris Long there? If so, give him some props from the Wahoo faitful on winning the Hendricks Award as the nation's top DE.
Adam (Columbia MO)
If Tebow wins the award this year as a sophmore, then we Mizzou will have two for real contenders for the Heisman Trophy, Chase Daniel and Jeremy Maclin(Fastest man in college football)
Buzzmaster (7:24 PM)
Michael Crabtree just walked past with a plate full of food.
Buzzmaster (7:24 PM)
And there goes Dennis Dixon!
Buzzmaster (7:24 PM)
Jamie Silva....Anthony Collins. These guys got some full plates.
jon abilene ks
why not jordy nelsen a walk on a small from kansas. Played against big time schools. The big Twelve.
Buzzmaster (7:25 PM)
Timmy Tebow carrying a plate of food with a cast on his right wrist.
Buzzmaster (7:26 PM)
And....hmmmmm. NOT wearing Crocs. Oh well.
Buzzmaster (7:26 PM)
No jorts either.
CK (Titletown)
Chris your right about the next three from the SEC...but I think Tebow, Harvin, Tebow!
chris (Florida)
Great Freshman Match Up!!! Michael Crabtree on Eric Berry. I would love to see that.
Nathan (Albany Oregon)
I was really mad when I didn't see that Dennis Dixon didn't even get invited to New York.
Kyle(New York)
GATORS RULE!!!!! You know Tebow is going to win....Colt Brennan and Darren McFadden don't stand a chance. TEBOW FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!
Kevin (Roanoke,Va
I vote Mcfadden. Hawaii is a nobody and Colt Brennan is a nobody enoguh said.
Ted (Cape Cod)
Buzz,Can I ask Jamie Silva what got him into doing Dumpster Diving?I remember College Gameday doing a story on this.
Buzzmaster (7:28 PM)
Sure if you see that we've gotten a few minutes of his time, feel free to send it in.
Nathan (Albany Oregon)
When I saw Dennis Dixon go down, I felt the pain. Cause I have blown both of my knees out, and im only in high school!!!
Rob (Columbia, MO)
Hey Chase- M-I-Z... (thanks for a great year, national title next year)
Jimmy(Kansas)
Man what can i say Tebow for heisman. No one should stand a chance. I mean all those TD'S. TEBOW YOU RULE!!!!!
Bob (East Providence, RI)
On behalf of my family and the residence of East Providence, RI I want to second what a previous poster stated. Jamie Silva is the nicest guy you will ever meet. Besides being a great football player, Jamie is a wonderful, caring and giving young man.If there is any justice Jamie will win the Thorpe award and have a great career in the NFL. Go Townies!!
Dave(Kansas)
Tell Jordy Nelson "Thanks" from the K-State Faithful!
chris (Florida)
This is Tebow's best shot. His rush TD's will go down with Emmaneul Moody next year. Agree Buzz?
Buzzmaster (7:31 PM)
You would think so.
Buzzmaster (7:32 PM)
Here's a thought, and I remember thinking this last year too. Between the sponsors and the athletes' future earning potential, this room is loaded with some serious dollars right now.
Zach (Atlanta, GA)
The fact that Kevin Smith is on pace to break Barry Sanders single season rushing record and is NOT a finalist just completely invalidates the award, period.
Gregory (Syracuse)
What time are the awards on TV,Buzz?
Buzzmaster (7:33 PM)
Tomorrow night at 7:30 p.m. on ESPN!
Buzzmaster (7:33 PM)
Wow, they just put the spotlight on Chris Fowler to speak some words. Boy that's bright.
Nick (Huntington, WV)
Why not White and Dizon? They were the most important parts to their team's success.
Brett (Tennessee)
I agree, Kevin Smith is getting ripped off, but you've gotta remember something. Sanders did it in 11 games. Kevin Smith might not even break it after 13 games.
wayne (roanoke,va)
even though they lost at the end, Dixon should have been invited. He is everything to that team.
Gregory (Syracuse)
So it will be on tape delay?
Buzzmaster (7:35 PM)
No, tonight is just the awards dinner. Tomorrow is the awards show which will be live.
greg
530 yards rushing in 2 sec games are you kidding...DMAC!no question.
Greg(Louisiana)
We gonna talk to anyone?
Buzzmaster (7:36 PM)
Soon, soon! They're eating right now. We'll be getting them just as soon as they're done. Let them eat, man!
Gregory (Syracuse)
How much food have you eaten tonight?
Buzzmaster (7:36 PM)
Sadly, none.
Greg(Loisiana)
Sorry Buzz I had no idea i just wanna talk to tim i am a huge fan
Aaron (Flatwoods, KY)
Will Dennis Dixon be healthy for Oregon's bowl game? They really struggled without him.
chris (Florida)
Hey buzz call me crazy but Glenn Dorsey is OVERRATED. He got dominated by a freshman in the florida game. Yes he was healthy so don't give me that excuse.
Buzzmaster (7:38 PM)
OK. I'll let him know you said that. Then I'll give him your address.
Brett (Tennessee)
Aaron, I'm pretty sure there is no chance of that. A torn ACL takes at least half a year to recover from at best.
Kevin (Roanoke,Va)
I wanna talk to McFadden! He almost put a needle in LSU's chances to go to the BCS national title!
Brad(Charleston)
Geeeez the BCS is so flawed! Kansas over Missourri?? Also this preseason poll has to go. it can really hurt people. why not start it say 3rd week?
Ted (Maine)
I feel your pain,Buzz.I had too much Turkey leftovers from Thanksgiving.
Matthew (Roanoke, Va)
I agree Brad because its stupid having a poll when no games have been played.
George (State College, PA)
Kansas was 1 of three teams to have less than 2 losses. They deserve their BCS bid.
John M
Mcfadden Baby
David (Phoenix, AZ)
I think the only reason they have the preseason poll is so people like us have something to talk about at the water cooler.
Jon
McFadden hands down ! ! !
CK (Titletown)
Apparently I got cut off! Sorry buzz
Nathan (Santa Cruz CA)
Why do I try and compose legitimate posts when things like "McFadden Baby" get put up?
Buzzmaster (7:44 PM)
Easy Nathan, we're just having a good time in here. The posts coming in fast and furious and I'm trying to keep up. I can't get to them all!
Ben (Orlando, FL)
Yeah, the preseason poll is bad. Almost as bad as Kevin Smith not being *at least* nominated best RB in the country.
Mike (Austin, TX)
Good Point Nathan
Nathan (Santa Cruz CA)
Sorry Buzz, It just seemed like you had some favorites.
Brett (Tennessee)
Nathan, you gotta remember, there are tons of people in here and tons of stuff going through. He can't put everything up.
Rayna (St. Louis, Missouri)
Buzz, you must be a McFadden fan, because you post all his shoutouts, and I haven't seen any Chase Daniel ones, which I am sure are many. GO CHASE!!
Jake (Eugene, OR)
Guys, are we really wasting Buzz's time trying to read through these "why aren't my posts up there" stuff?
Chris (Oakland Twp., MI)
Michael Crabtree is the best wide receiver in the nation, and should have been invited to NYC. Anyone who watches his film knows he isn't just a product of the Texas Tech system. He is the real deal!
Brett (Tennessee)
Buzz, What player had the most food that you've seen? I'm thinking probably a linemen, but you never know..
Buzzmaster (7:48 PM)
Yeah. So far it's Anthony Collins.
Buzz Fan (San Francisco, CA)
Leave buzz alone. Let him eat in peace and quiet.
Buzzmaster (7:49 PM)
Sadly. No eating just yet.
Ian (Vermont)
If Oregon losing its last three doesn't prove Dixon is the best in college football, I don't know what does.
Buzzmaster (7:49 PM)
I think we have Dennis Dixon coming over! Get your questions in!!!
Kyle (Kansas)
Who wins the BCS title game?
Dennis Dixon (7:50 PM)
Whoever can control the clock, eliminate turnovers and play a total team effort on both sides.
Bill (Chicago)
Do you think Hawaii deserved a BCS bowl bid?
Dennis Dixon (7:51 PM)
Yeah, I think they did. They deserve it. They're the only team undefeated. They're playing a good solid teaem in the bowl. They'll have to prove themselves again. They'll have to go out there and do it.
Jake (Eugene, OR)
Dix NFL or MLB?
Dennis Dixon (7:52 PM)
I'm so much of a competitor it all depends on where I'm playing at the time. As of right now, football is what I'm trying to persue. I hope for the best.
Wonka (Berkeley, CA)
Dennis, you are a true competitor. Who is the toughest defensive player you have faced?
Dennis Dixon (7:53 PM)
I would say Sedric Ellis from SC.
Ted (Maine)
Do you play any video games?
Dennis Dixon (7:53 PM)
I do. I mainly play sports games.
Elvis (NYC)
Dennis, what is your favorite nickname that you have?
Dennis Dixon (7:53 PM)
Droop.
Cory(PA)
What's was your first reaction to your injury you recieved?
Dennis Dixon (7:54 PM)
I just hoped that it wasn't too bad. It turned out that it wasn't. It was the same thing that I did in the AZ State game.
Ryan (NJ)
How close are you and Stewart?
Dennis Dixon (7:54 PM)
Real close. We talk on a regular basis. WE hang out, we go to the movies. You name it, we do it.
Matt H. (B'ham, Al)
Dennis, how do you think your ducks will fare in their bowl game without you?
Dennis Dixon (7:55 PM)
I think we'll be good. On both sides of the ball. There are too many seniors on the team to let it go now. We'll continue to fight.
Kip(College Station)
Dennis, besides yourself, who do you think is the most talented quarterback in the NCAA?
Dennis Dixon (7:56 PM)
I would have to say either Tebow or Pat White. Having a duel threat is always tough on the defense.
Buzzmaster (7:56 PM)
Thanks Dennis!
Buzzmaster (7:56 PM)
Real cool dude
Buzzmaster (7:58 PM)
There's a line of people to talk to him. We're working on getting him over here.
Jim (Boston)
Hey Tim, have you checked out TimTebowFacts.com? What did you think of it?
Tim Tebow (8:01 PM)
I think it's actually pretty funny. It's amusing. People tease me about it. We have fun with it. I think it's hilarious.
Matt (Roanoke, Va)
Tim, do you play video games? btw you a good player
Tim Tebow (8:02 PM)
Not alot. But when I get a chance, I'll play some college football or something like that.
Kevin (Virginia)
Do you agree with the Heisman finalsists?
Tim Tebow (8:02 PM)
I think so. I haven't had much time to think aobut it or see the guys play much. I think they all deserve to be there.
Kevin (Roanoke,Va)
Tim, toughest defense in your conference?
Tim Tebow (8:03 PM)
That's a good qurestion. LSU is a good defense. Auburn is a good defense. Georgia is a good defense. We play a good defense every week, but those are some of the top ones.
Jeff (Florida)
Orange or Blue Gatorade?
Tim Tebow (8:03 PM)
Both. You have to mix it up a little bit.
Matt: (Gainesville, FL)
Tim, would you rather win the Heisman this year, or a national title next year?
Tim Tebow (8:03 PM)
Are both a possibility? If not, I'll go with the National title next year.
Lindsey ( Gainesville)
Timmy, besides you, who do you think should win the Heisman?
Tim Tebow (8:04 PM)
Having been able to see him a lot, I think they're all good players, I'd have to go with McFadden.
Marian Georgia
Do you agree with LSU-OSU in the National Championship?
Tim Tebow (8:05 PM)
I do. Because LSU won our conference. But I do think USC and Georgia are playing well right now. If Georgia had won our conference, I think they should have been in there.
Wonka (Berkeley, CA)
Tim, what is your favorite nickname you have?
Tim Tebow (8:05 PM)
There are a bunch of them. I'm not sure.
Eric (Pullman, WA)
Tim, what has been your personal favorite moment this season quarterbacking the Gators?
Tim Tebow (8:06 PM)
Beating Florida State in our last game.
Del (Beaverton, OR)
Tim - What NFL player did you grow up idolizing?
Tim Tebow (8:06 PM)
Emmitt Smith is my favorite player.
Anthony (Chicago)
What plans or records do you have instore for next season if any?
Tim Tebow (8:06 PM)
Hopefully a national title.
David (Gainesville, GA)
Tim, what do you think of all the Superman comparisons? Do you find that amusing?
Tim Tebow (8:07 PM)
Yes, definitely. I think it's hilarious. I love the different comparisons.
Tim Tebow (8:07 PM)
Thanks for all the support. God bless. Go Gators! Let's go get it next year.
Buzzmaster (8:08 PM)
Thanks Tim!
CJ (Farmville, VA)
Amazing year, cannot wait until next season!
Buzzmaster (8:08 PM)
Tim's a funny guy. Good personality. Hopefully we get to see some more of that next season.
Eric (NYC)
See you Saturday buddy.
james (syracuse)
thanks for the great year tim
John(Kansas)
Buzz... Who is coming on next?
Buzzmaster (8:09 PM)
I've got my people out there scouting out possibilities. We'll get someone up here real quick.
Brad (Clemson SC)
You deserve the best Tim
Justin (baton rouge)
matt flynn for heisman
chris (Florida)
WOW!!! Great job Buzz i had one question for tebow and you did'nt post! A lot of silly questions were posted man? why?
Buzzmaster (8:10 PM)
If we don't have fun with this we'll never get the guys to chat. They are here to have fun!
Jake (Eugene, OR)
Buzz, did you get to eat yet?
Buzzmaster (8:10 PM)
Sadly. No.
Matt(West Virginia)
Buzz....Can we chat with Colt Brennan?
Buzzmaster (8:11 PM)

Steve (Nesconset, NY)
Do you think you could have beat Oregon if Dixon was healthy?

Brett (Tennessee)
What do you think about the Heisman finalists, and who do you think should win it?

sean (ohio)
If you could play for any NFL team, who would it be?
Antoine Cason (8:28 PM)

Darren McFadden (8:46 PM)
I'll go out there and do my best. I did what I could on the field. I go out there with high hopes. I feel like I can.
Jake (Eugene, OR)
D-Mac, if not you for Heisman, than who?
Darren McFadden (8:46 PM)
I feel like if I don't win then I'd vote for Tim Tebow.
Kazumoto
Any game you wish you could go back and play again?
Darren McFadden (8:47 PM)
Not really. There's nothing you can do about the past. You have to go out and leave it on the field.
Chris (Denver)
Who would you say you model your athletic style around most ?
Darren McFadden (8:47 PM)
I don't really feel like I have a guy that I model after. I feel like I'm a different running back. I guess Adrian Peterson.

Darren McFadden (8:52 PM)
It's a great feeling. It's something that words can't even explain.
John Fort Smith AR
Who'd win this race? Felix or Dmac?
Darren McFadden (8:53 PM)
We've never raced before, but I feel I will.
Darren McFadden (8:53 PM)
I appreciate the support.
Buzzmaster (8:54 PM)
Thanks Darren!
Melissa (New York)
Do you think there should be a college football playoff?
Travis Beckum (8:55 PM)
I do. I think that's why some conferences have championship games. I think it would be a better way to understand who the best team it.
Manny Reno NV
did you have to work hard to get where you are or did you just have raw talent
Travis Beckum (8:56 PM)
You definitely have to work hard. Even the best players in the world have to work hard. It's definitely not easy.
Matt (Roanoke, Va)
Travis do you like being a Tight End? If you could chose any other position what would it be?
Travis Beckum (8:56 PM)
I love being a tight end. If I could choose another position it would be WR.
kyle (North carolina)
Who your favorite NFL tight end?
Travis Beckum (8:57 PM)
My favorite NFL tight end is probably Jeremy Shockey or Antonio Gates.
Mitch (WI)
What was your favorite moment this year?

Jon-Michael Ohio
Toughest place to play?

Ohio State was tough. Michigan was tough.
Eddie: Miami, FL
Travis how satisfying is it to have a good season in the big 10 and to come out this year as top TE the country
Travis Beckum (8:59 PM)
Not just in the Big Ten, it's good to have a good season everywhere. It's nice to know that you've accomplished something.
elliot madison

Travis Beckum (9:00 PM)
Probably Ohio State. Ohio State was tough. Illinois was tough.
Luke I don't know
Who's your fav. NFL team???

Kazumoto
Excited about your bowl game?
Travis Beckum (9:02 PM)
I'm very excited. I'm excited to be playing a great SEC team.
Kip( Texas)
How different was playing Ohio State this year without Troy Smith?
Travis Beckum (9:03 PM)
When I played, I didn't play against Troy Smith because we last played them two years ago. Playing against him is tough because he's versatile.
Sal Angotti (Morgantown, WV)
If you could play in another conference besides the Big 10 which would it be?
Travis Beckum (9:03 PM)
It would probably be the SEC.
Travis Beckum (9:04 PM)
Come out and support us at the bowl game. Looking forward to having a great game. All the fans for us will be better.

Besides yourself, who is the greatest Michigan receiver of ALL-TIME?
Mario Manningham (9:06 PM)
Anthony Carter/Braylon Edwards.

Mario Manningham (9:07 PM)
Just came out and played harder every week. Did what we had to do. Came out with victories every week.
Daniel (MIchigan)
You had a great year who do you think is the funniest player on your team??
Mario Manningham (9:08 PM)

Mario Manningham (9:09 PM)
No.

Aaron (San Jose)
Mario, OSU or LSU. Who wins.
Mario Manningham (9:10 PM)
LSU.
Dan (Memphis)
If not Michigan what college could you see yourself playing for

Yup.
Mario Manningham (9:12 PM)
Thanks for supporting me.
Buzzmaster (9:12 PM)
Thanks Mario!
Buzzmaster (9:12 PM)
He was not impressed with the Heisman and Michigan WR questions.
Jeff (Milwaukee)
What was your favorite moment this season?
Aqib Talib (9:13 PM)
My favorite moment this season....Just finding out we'll have a chance to play in the Orange Bowl.
Ryan (parma)
Hey OSU or LSU?
Aqib Talib (9:14 PM)
Man! I don't know. But if I had to pick one, I might pick LSU, because of the speed of the game. They look real fast out there.
Kazumoto
How cool is it to be surrounded by the best players in all of college football?
Aqib Talib (9:14 PM)
It's crazy. I'm still star struck right now.
Tucker (Boston,Ma)
Why did Kansas turn their program around this year?
Aqib Talib (9:15 PM)
Because we took a different approach to getting prepared for the seasonn. We did different stuff in the offseason. It improved our confidence and it paid off.
Jake (Eugene, OR)
Greatest moment of the season?
Aqib Talib (9:16 PM)
I would say the same thing. We were all together when we found out we were going to the Orange Bowl. We're real excited.
Jason (NYC, NY)
Most physical receiver?
Aqib Talib (9:16 PM)
Oh man Purify from Nebraska. Big fast cat. Pretty good receiver. He's going to be a sleeper this year in the combine.
cory houck (oklahoma)
How would you feel if you win the orange bowl?
Aqib Talib (9:17 PM)
That would be wonderful. That's the way to go out and end this year. That's the plan.
Troy (Chicago)
What do you have to do to win the Orange Bowl
Aqib Talib (9:17 PM)
We have to prepare. We have to get healthy. We have to prepare. We have to look at going to Miami as a business trip and not a vacation.
Dan (Arkansas)
Favorite all-time football player?
Aqib Talib (9:18 PM)
Oh, Deion Sanders.
Jeff (Milwaukee)
What is the atmosphere like on campus?
Aqib Talib (9:18 PM)
It's been a lot different. Everyone's fired up. You get a lot of congratulations on the game and on the ORange Bowl. The whole student body is fired up.
michael (oh)
thoughts on Reesing this year?
Aqib Talib (9:19 PM)
He stepped up this year. This is his first year starting and running the offense. He did it like he was a fifth year senior. He showed a lot of leadership and got it done this year.
Kazumoto
Must be nice to have a better record the basketball team!
Aqib Talib (9:19 PM)
They're undefeated though! Actually they have a better record than us.
Kazumoto
Do you think the Big 12 got snubbed by only getting 2 teams in the BCS?
Aqib Talib (9:20 PM)
No, that's the rule. We could only get two into the BCS. I don't think we got snubbed at all. That's just the rule.
Aqib Talib (9:20 PM)
Rock Chalk Jayhawk! Jan. 3, watch out!
Buzzmaster (9:21 PM)
Thanks Aqib!
Kazumoto
Congrats on a great season!
Buzzmaster (9:24 PM)
There's a HUGE TV screen behind me and it's got up the EA Sports NCAA Football game being played by some of the players.
Buzzmaster (9:25 PM)
Arizona State is beating UTEP 20-6.
Buzzmaster (9:25 PM)
Herbie and Chris Fowler are circulating around somewhere. Last year they were glued to the XBox, playing NCAA Football.
jason (Florida)
whose playing?
Matt (Roanoke, Va)
Buzz, whos playing and whos winning?
Buzzmaster (9:26 PM)
Thomas Weber and Jose Martinez, maybe? They're the resident ASU and UTEP players here.
Jake (Eugene, OR)
Buzz, food yet? C'mon buddy, big dinner lotta big football players, can't be much food left if any
Buzzmaster (9:26 PM)
I know. Sadly, I think I might have missed out. Looks like a lot of the buffet warmers are closed up....Oh well.
Buzzmaster (9:27 PM)
I'll have to hit the Disney World nightlife after this and get some grub.
richard
what about craig
Buzzmaster (9:27 PM)
He's coming. Big room of people to wade through to get over to little ol' Buzz.
Jake (Eugene, OR)
painful...
Buzzmaster (9:28 PM)
Craig is here!
Jimmy (Baton Rouge)
Favorite moment of the season?
Craig Steltz (9:29 PM)
I would say the last time playing in Tiger Stadium. We came out with a loss, but it's a tremendous time any time you can wear the Purple and Gold and play in Tiger Stadium.
Jim (Bristol, RI)
What NFL safety would you compare yourself too?
Craig Steltz (9:30 PM)
I'd say John Lynch. He's a tremendous player. He's a signal caller for their defense and I try to emulate what he does.
Chuck Michigan
Who's your favorite sports team of all time
Craig Steltz (9:31 PM)
I'd say the Saints. Being from New Orleans and always rooting for them.
Todd (Maryland)
What was LaRon Landry like last year?
Craig Steltz (9:32 PM)
It was tremendous. As a player I had the chance to watch how he played and practiced. And I learned from him. I got three years to learn from him.
Brandon (Michigan)
How does it feel knowing coach miles is coming back next season?
Craig Steltz (9:33 PM)
As a senior, it's also knowing that he'll finish out my last game. The guys that are there are tremendously lucky to have a guy like that coming back to coach them.
Matt (Roanoke, Va)
Hey Craig, do you have a fun time playing Virginia Tech? and do you think LSU will be ready for the Nation Title game?
Craig Steltz (9:34 PM)
It was a blast playing Virginia Tech. Any time you open your season against a top team like that at Tiger Stadium it's great. We'll take two weeks off and start preparing for Ohio State.
James OKC, Oklahoma
Why does LSU have such a great defense?
Craig Steltz (9:35 PM)
It goes back to Coach Bo Pelini. He keeps us prepared each week and does a good job of it.
Ted (Maine)
How crazy is Les Miles in the locker room?
Craig Steltz (9:36 PM)
He has his times. Like any coach, he has his times when he gets fired up. Before a game, he'll get jacked up. You might not see it on the sidelines, but he gets us motivated in the lockerroom.
Rod Mercer; Frisco, TX
Craig, who's the real "War Daddy"? You or Jacob Hester? LOL!
Craig Steltz (9:36 PM)
I'm going to say Hester. He's a tremendous player and he battles for us each week. He does whatever you ask him and lays it down for us each week.
zack (huntsville, AL)
craig..whos the hardest and fastest offense you've played and whos the hardest quarterback
Craig Steltz (9:37 PM)
I'd say Arkansas crazy formations they gave us. They have the Wildcat formation they call it. That's the craziest offense I've seen.
Chris, Baton Rouge
Craig, I forgot to attend Acct. the other day can I borrow your notes?
Craig Steltz (9:37 PM)
Sure.
Ken (San Francisco, CA)
How do you feel the LSU defense matches up against the OSU offense?
Craig Steltz (9:38 PM)
I haven't watched much film on them yet. I'm coach Pelini will have a gameplan to put us in the best situation.
Wesley (New York)
INTS or big hits, which do you prefer?
Craig Steltz (9:38 PM)
INTs. Anytime you get an INT you give the ball back to the offense and give them a chance to put more points up on the board.
Craig Steltz (9:39 PM)
Thank you. Thanks for the support all year. We're going to try hard to bring back a national title to LSU.
Buzzmaster (9:39 PM)
Thanks Craig!
Buzzmaster (9:39 PM)
Big surprise, but Craig is another cool cat.
Buzzmaster (9:41 PM)
Jordy is here!
Dan (Detroit)
Who is your favorite NFL WR?>
Jordy Nelson (9:41 PM)
I would have to go with Marvin Harrison. He does his job. You don't hear much about him in the media.
William (Laurinburg, NC)
Besides you. Who is the best WR in the nation?
Jordy Nelson (9:42 PM)
Michael Crabtree. He's got the numbers by far. I think the most impressive thing is the amount of TDs he has.
Jake louisisana
so Jordy whats it like to have all these admiring fans
Jordy Nelson (9:42 PM)
It's crazy. It's something you get used to. It's funny just watching people look at you weird and try to figure out who you are.
Brad (Gadsden,Alabama))
Jordy, Who is the best DB you have faced?
Jordy Nelson (9:43 PM)
He's here. Talib.
Nate (Cleveland, OH)
Hey Jordy! Great season! If you had a vote for the Heisman, who would it be?
Jordy Nelson (9:44 PM)
McFadden. He's just an all around player and what he did for his team is amazing.
Todd (Maryland)
When you were little what did you want to be when you grew up?
Jordy Nelson (9:44 PM)
An athlete. Sports has been my life. Athlete and then be a coach.
Tucker (Boston,Ma)
Do you think the BCS got it right?
Jordy Nelson (9:44 PM)
With the championship game, yes. But with some of the other games, I think there are some mistakes.
Justin (St. Louis)
Jordy, do you have problems finding a date?
Jordy Nelson (9:45 PM)
No. I'm married!
matt (the chi)

Jordy Nelson (9:45 PM)
It's a great college town. It's a smaller town but it has lots of teams to do, mainly Aggieville.
Kazumoto
How good do you think this team can be in '08?
Jordy Nelson (9:46 PM)
I think we'll be good. Get some fundamentals down. Another year with coaches.
Kristin (Gainesville, Fl)
Who was the nicest guy you have met tonight out of the players?
Jordy Nelson (9:46 PM)
Chase Daniel. We've talked a little bit. He's a great guy. It's great to get to know people off the field.
Adam, Grapevine,TX
LSU or OSU? Who you got?
Jordy Nelson (9:47 PM)
LSU.
Joe (Dewitt,MI)
If you could play for any nfl team, who would it be?
Jordy Nelson (9:47 PM)
I would have to go with the Chiefs. It's close by to home so all the family and friends could come watch.
Kazumoto
How fun is it tonight?! It must be awesome being around all these great players.
Jordy Nelson (9:48 PM)
It's a great time. I think it's crazy to have this much talent in one room. Being around it and being a part of it was awesome.
Adam (Columbia MO)
Who is the best all around team you have faced this year?
Jordy Nelson (9:48 PM)
It would have to be Missouri. Their offense is good and they have a solid defense.
Dave (Jax, FL)
What college team would you NOT want to play because of their offense?
Jordy Nelson (9:49 PM)
Army or Navy because of the wishbone.
matt (the chi)

Jordy Nelson (9:49 PM)
She's standing over my shoulder, so yes, pretty. It's awesome!
