Love the teaser.

My parents were in advertising. Great way to build anticipation.

That's a great logo - should save it for endorsements if he eventually hits it big

Although the silhouette is almost reminiscent of Tom Brady. Not a terrible guy to pattern your career after, I suppose.

He's a big Justin Beiber fan.

Sorry fellas.

Tom Brady can do whatever the hell he wants. He’ll walk backwards into more action than all of us put together.

that's very true

but it won’t stop me from talking shit and making fun of him and his stupid hair

i’m a complete hater and proud of it

Personally,

I don’t want the kind of action dudes walk backward into. lol

what do i think?

by MKE Nole on Jun 30, 2010 3:06 PM EDT reply actions  

I briefly thought about it

But I think my marriage might be in the crapper if I replaced my wife’s pic with a CP7 logo. Maybe on the work PC.

Judging from some of the previous comments about Ponder, I am glad they at least spelled coming with an "o".

Anyone know the significance of July 7th?

just curious

7's the key number here...

Think about it. 7-Elevens. 7 doors. 7, man, that’s the number. 7 chipmunks twirlin’ on a branch, eatin’ lots of sunflowers on my uncle’s ranch. You know that old children’s tale from the sea.

You think we can make the ACCCG with 7 wins?

by jasonole59 on Jun 30, 2010 4:55 PM EDT up reply actions  

not a serious question, just a poke at Frank.

The only way we play 14 games (7-7) is with an ACCCG appearance.

I’m sure you were being sarcastic also, it’s just hard to tell on here…

I know Jason, it's cool, but know that you mentioned it, Clemson made it with 6-2 record last year.

Definitely gonna be doing my part to promote Ponder for Heisman

I included his 09’ highlights in my article today here. A couple of Noles are supposed to be putting together a formal highlight video to send around to media outlets and heisman voters so Seminole Nation can really do their part!

by truenole87 on Jun 30, 2010 4:15 PM EDT reply actions  

It may just be me, but...

I think I would avoid using some of the spectacular-looking circus catches (such as a few by Fortson). Those tend to make the WR look better than the QB (although there are exceptions, such as if the ball literally could not have been placed anywhere else).

I would recommend plays where Ponder hits the WR in stride; great runs by him; great fakes; great scrambles, allowing him to find open receivers; maybe even a couple of the plays he made blocks for RBs; etc.

Also, I suggest they to focus on CP7 – the 98-yd pass to Owens, for example, looks good on a first view, but if a second view is given, I’d cut it off a step or two after Owens makes the catch. Show the nice pass, but save the time it takes for Owens to run to the end zone. Just a few suggestions… (though I’ve never made such a video).

by Invictus13 on Jun 30, 2010 6:41 PM EDT up reply actions  

The pass to Pryor in the Clemson game, where he puts the ball on his hip on the fake.

Baller.

by Randall W. Spetman on Jun 30, 2010 7:04 PM EDT up reply actions  

I get what you're saying but . . .

Circus catches often occur when QB’s put the ball where ONLY the WR can catch it. There’s no shortage of plays where Ponder hits guys in stride so adding in spectacular plays doesn’t necessarily have to be cut. After all, part of being a great QB is allowing your playmakers to make plays and you won’t really find a Heisman QB . . . like ever, that didn’t have outstanding plays made by the skill players around him.

by truenole87 on Jun 30, 2010 8:04 PM EDT up reply actions  

MVP Circus catch of the 2009 season.

Can we hang that

Its tough

because its hard to stay in the conversion without that hype.

i know its a news-driven era

but i long for the good ole days when you didn’t need a marketing firm to win the heisman..

CP7 is going to pull the trifecta?

Win the MNC, the Heisman, and clean up the oil spill at the same time?

Did anyone see Christian on campus today?

I was walking in the tunnel leading from Rovetta => other side of TN today and noticed there was a BBQ or something sponsored by the SGA of which Ponder was supposed to be at promoting etc? It was from 1-3 and curses I happened to be leaving at 4.

I saw this in the Palm Beach Post this morning

You guys are off to a great start with CP7’s heisman campaign

Breaking News Regarding this Image

Evidently it’s already being circulated to major media outlets as reported on College Football Live. All 3 analysts received the image via e-mail.

Andre Ware didn’t like it. OH well.

I heart Cardullo...in the same way I heart the World Cup, Fat Girls, and Okra.

by Randall W. Spetman on Jul 1, 2010 4:01 PM EDT reply actions  

Doesn't he have a Heisman vote?

It’d probably be a good idea to piss him off.

If he didn’t? It’d be DONE.

Yeah, he tried to sound like he was a CFB pureist

just came off like an elitest ring holder to me.

“Don’t send me the DVD”….translation = I don’t actually want to be challenged. I want to whatch whicher ever games/players I see fit and pic somebody I’m familiar with to vote on.

See Mark Inram: heisman fail
