Is MSU doing anything to get him officially awarded this yet? I want it to be official and I want the SEC to recognize it as official. Absolutely no reason at all postseason stats should count towards regular season awards. Make it happen MSU. Do not sit back and let the SEC get away with not awarding this amazing accomplishment to Rooker.
Huh? The SEC waits until after the postseason to declare a winner in these categories. You can disagree with it, but no amount of lobbying is going to get them to throw away their own guidelines.
There's no reason for them not to do it...except that they've already decided they won't do that. It doesn't make it different because one guy happens to lead all 3 categories. He's very likely to finish as champion in all of them anyway.
Here's Smoot not understanding english words typed into a sentence once again. Amazing how you are able to do this. What did I just type in my last sentence? "Bananas pickles hamburgers juice naughty dog fresh pineapple charcoal volleyball?"Quote:

Nope but the way they are ruling the titles is incorrect and the longer MSU waits to say something about it the less likely it is to get corrected. MSU always sits back and says/does nothing and that's what I am trying to avoid. We still have Poor Lil Ol Miss State boys running our University.Quote:

How does MLB do it?
He's correct that they're wrong in including postseason numbers to the triple crown. It's unfair, And all the "experts" agree. That being said, there's nothing that will change it for THIS season, unfortunately.
Regular season only, I'm pretty sureQuote:

Does MLB award the homerun king to the guy with the most homeruns regular season + playoffs? Hell no they don't. Does the NBA award the scoring title to the guy that averaged the most points regular season plus playoffs? Hell no they don't. Does the NFL award the regular season sack king to the guy with the most sacks after the Super Bowl? Hell no they don't. Why do you think it was considered busch league for Kobe to score like 80 points in the last game of the season? Why do you think it was busch league when a hitter goes 1 for 1 in the final game and then removes himself so that he can win the batting title? The reason is because everybody awards regular season hitting titles based on regular season stats. Not regular season + post season.Quote:

Heisman trophy gets awarded before the bowl games but I do agree conference championship games shouldn't be included and bowl games shouldn't be included. Sorry I don't adhere to the motto of "I agree it's stupid, but it is what it is".Quote:

They made the decision to do it. So acting as though State is lazy if they don't attempt to change that in the middle of the season is ridiculous. The NCAA is never going to change that during a season because one guy happens to be sitting in the lead in all 3 categories and his school wants it recognized. It is not a recognized triple crown yet based on the way the SEC/NCAA awards the winner of the triple crown categories.
In the future, that may change. For 2017, it is what it is.
I also agree with this. Just say he won the Triple Crown and celebrate it. What is the SEC going to do about it?Quote:
