re: what would have been the "heisman pose" reaction?

I don't think anyone minds college players having a little fun, but how about waiting until you've actually done something to warrant such action before doing it. The reaction would (and should) have been the same if another player from any other team would have struck the "Heisman pose" in week 2 vs. a 1-AA opponent, to laugh at how absurd the gesture was

Desmond Howard did it after a big punt return, in the final week of the season, against his school's biggest rival, at a time where it was largely considered that he was the Heisman front runner. All of those factors combined (along with Keith Jackson's "hellooooooo Heisman" call) made it a classic CFB moment. The impromptu nature for Howard makes it memorable. The rest of these guys (not just LF) who do it, just look like clowns. Timing is everything.
