Spawn Heisman Winner : Toby Gerhart

Congrats to Stanford's Toby Gerhart, he has won the Spawn Heisman vote.

It really wasn't very close, as he took almost 40% of the almost 300 votes cast. Toby had the lead from the start and never gave it up. Nadamukong Suh finished in second place in our voting with 32% of the ballots cast. Mark Ingram and Colt McCoy finished 3rd and 4th. Poor Tim Tebow only got 4 votes from our readers. Ouch.

I expect the ceremony tonight in New York is going to have a much tighter contest and may even produce a different result.

Did you know the Heisman is no longer awarded in the NY Downtown Athletic Club ? The club was less than half a mile south of the World Trade Center and suffered major damage in the September 11, 2001 attacks. The club never reopened, and declared bankruptcy in 2002. The ceremony went to the Yale Club and the NY Hilton, but now has found a home in the Nokia Theater in Times Square.

As expected, the vote was very close.

Mark Ingram is Alabama's first Heisman winner ever.
