All #Optimus


Let's start with CBSSports.com and their recent interview:

----------------------------------------------
CBS also has a Heisman Pundit poll, where Klein currently sits 2nd:
Heading into its seventh season, the former HeismanPundit.com Heisman Straw Poll has been reborn as theHeismanPundit/CBSSports.com Heisman Straw Poll. It has been the most accurate Heisman poll in the country the last five seasons, with the final 2011 poll correctly picking the top seven finishers. It is made up of 11 Heisman voters from across the country. They vote for three players each week. Tabulations are made on a 3-2-1 basis (just like a real Heisman ballot) with three points awarded for a first-place vote, two points for a second-place vote and one point for a third-place vote.
Who votes each week?
The 11 members of the panel include: Mike Bianchi of the Orlando Sentinel, Tom Dienhart of The Big Ten Network,Michael Lev of the Orange County Register, Bruce Feldman, Dennis Dodd and Bryan Fischer of CBSSports.com,Dick Weiss of the New York Daily News, Lenn Robbins of the New York Post, Jenni Carlson of The Oklahoman andDave Hackenberg of The Toledo Blade. Chris Huston, CBSSports.com Heisman analyst and publisher of HeismanPundit.com, coordinates and also votes in the weekly poll.

KstateHD is cranking up the Heisman footage as well, releasing this video today toting Klein as college football's Most Valuable Player:



 ----------------------------------------------
This is the video I've really been waiting for since #optimus was coined.

A K-State | Transformers mashup video that's incredibly well produced and amped with a great soundtrack?  Sold.  I'm sure I say this a lot, and I am prone to hyberbole, but this is the best Klein highlight video to date.

I mean it this time.


 ----------------------------------------------
One last thing, if you like BCS bowls, and I know you do, check out this prediction from ESPN regarding our bowl destination.

What does that tell you?  It means even with a loss to West Virginia, KSU is predicted to run the table the rest of the way, finish 11-1, and get picked by the BCS to play in the Sugar.  And that includes Notre Dame also getting a BCS at-large selection.

New Orleans.  BCS.  Biggest bowl game since 2003.  Tickets are $135 and up.

Who's with me?
