While on the topic,  How about a poll on what was the biggest post-season award slight for Stanford in the last four years?

Gerhart - Voldemort
Luck - Voldemort
Luck Voldemort
Fleener - Mackey
Ertz - Mackey

My money is on Gerhart.  His numbers were better than Ingram's, he meant more to his team than Ingram, and Gerhart was carrying like 18 units while playing football, in a tough major - the consummate representation of a true student athlete.

Luck was obviously great, but Newton and Griffin were amazing talents.  Luck would have won over Manziel for sure, in either year.  Ertz and Eifert are so close, and on such good teams, I just can't quibble too much.

I agree with WIM on Fleener, with Luck 2011 a close second.

I consider Gerhart a lesson in logistics (do I get some brownie points -- no pun intended -- from UPS?). There was no campaign for him aside from the grassroots efforts organized by GG(?) et.al. and he still came remarkably close. IMO if Gerhart had been promoted better by Stanford or we had won another game or two, I think he wins it. So I don't consider that too much of  a slight.
