The 2008 Heisman Trophy Award will be presented Saturday December 13 at 8:00 PM EST in New York City. This year, three players have been invited to the Heisman Presentation: Tim Tebow (the 2007 winner), Sam Bradford, and Colt McCoy.

Most experts and websites have it at a very close 3-way race among Tebow, Bradford and McCoy. Just a few weeks ago, Tim Tebow wouldn’t have been mentioned as a potential winner, but after his performance in the SEC Championship game a lot of voters have been changing their minds.

In 2007, Tebow won on stats alone… but will the 2008 winner be judged on the same criteria?

Tim Tebow (12-1)
-2,515 passing yards, 28 touchdowns, 2 interceptions
-564 rushing yards, 12 touchdowns, 0 fumbles

Sam Bradford (12-1)
-4,464 passing yards, 48 touchdowns, 6 interceptions
-65 rushing yards, 5 touchdowns, 0 fumbles

Colt McCoy (11-1)
-3,445 passing yards, 32 touchdowns, 7 interceptions
-576 rushing yards, 10 touchdowns, 0 fumbles

Now you also have to take into consideration passing attempts, completion percentage, style of offense, and strength of schedule. When you add it all up, these 3 players are very close.

One thing that could factor into the voting is both Bradford and McCoy play in the Big 12, so the regional votes could be split… leaving room for Tim Tebow to take the lead.

Everything’s bigger in Texas, right? Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones put that saying to the test when he ordered the construction of a new stadium for his Cowboys franchise. Ground broke on the new stadium back in September 2005 and the scheduled opening date should be in time for the start of the 2009 NFL Season.

The stadium is an amazing piece of architecture. Check out the pictures and videos on the stadium’s official website. Here are a couple of quick stats:

Total Square Footage: 2.3 million square feet. The entire Statue of Liberty and its base could fit into the stadium with the roof closed. The stadium is also the world’s largest column-free room. The American Airlines Center in Dallas could fit entirely into the new stadium at field level.

Interior Cubic Volume: 104 million cubic feet. (By comparison, Reliant Stadium in Houston measures 90 million cubic feet.) The Dallas Cowboys stadium will be the largest enclosed stadium (in cubic feet) in the NFL.

Seating Capacity: A capacity of 80,000 plus standing room or additional seating in the end zones, along with ticketed areas in the end zone plazas can increase total capacity to 100,000.

Jerry Jones spared no expense in his new stadium. Everything you can imagine will be state of the art. The stadium will also feature a new concept for suites: field-level sideline and end zone suites. Think dugouts at a baseball game, except equipped with fully stocked bars and high-def TVs.

In addition to the Cowboys home games, the stadium will also host the annual Texas A&M vs. Arkansas game, the annual Cotton Bowl, the 2010 NBA All-Star Game, Super Bowl XLV, the 2014 NCAA Final Four, and more! Every sporting event will want to play in this stadium. It’s something that all leagues, teams and fans will want to experience.

The Oklahoma Sooners and Florida Gators both won their respective conference championship games on Saturday. Last night during the BCS Selection show on FOX, it was announced that the Gators and Sooners will be playing in the BCS National Championship game on January 8, 2009. It doesn’t get any more exciting for fans of these schools.

If you’re planning a trip to Miami, FL for the game, or you just want to support your school as they go for the title, now is the time to stock up on BCS National Championship bound gear. Football Fanatics has a variety of t-shirts, hats and sweatshirts for sale.
