One sure sign the season is just around the corner is the launching of websites to promote players for the Heisman. While Pat White Plays Here doesn't say Heisman anywhere I've looked, White will be on everyone's list of potential candidates for the Heisman. There's an extensive collection of videos covering his career from high school to West Virginia. I wish the video screen was a little bigger, but outside that it's a sharp site full of information on White.

In 62 days or so we'll all be at a game or watching on TV. Between now and then, plenty of Heisman hype machines will get rolling. I'm skeptical as to how much these promotions really help an athlete when it comes to Heisman voting. For a player like White that has put together three solid years at West Virginia, I doubt any voters need to be reminded of him. He doesn't play for a big market team, but he does play in a big market conference. His performances in bowl games has been spectacular. But for White to have a shot at the Heisman, he's going to have to stay healthy and West Virginia can't have more than one loss. Something that hasn't happened either of the last two years.
