Night of the 2013 heisman and I'm still watching this. He is such a phenomenal athlete.

Roll Tide

[@thedangerwich5476]

Suh got robbed

[@beefinitup7]

I tear up every time I watch this! Love this speech. Roll Tide, Mark

[@jezuzfreek777]

What a classy and sincere acceptance speech....

[@GebreMenfesKidus]

Class, humility, sincerity, and dignity. One of the best Heisman speeches ever. Mark Ingram represents everything BAMA football stands for. Thank you Mr. Ingram for giving us your heart and soul, and for bringing the Tide our first Heisman Trophy. Your are a legend! RTR!!!

[@mcb2597]

Definately one of the best runners of all the heisman trophy winners, he earned every yard he gained and he fought for them all.Bama had a tough schedule that year and to gain as many yards as he did after contact is amazing.He rushed for around 1,650 yards and the yards he gained after contact were around 1,000.

[@hippsgary]

Great speech. Obviously, after tonight's Heisman award went to Cam, I had to come back and check out Ingram's heartfelt speech again. Mark thanked everyone but his bus driver!!! He even made it a point to mention the other finalists. Thing is, Mark meant every word he said. Humility and class. Way to go Mark... ... and Rolllllllllll Tide!!!

[@ARH1994]

that was an amazing speech. every word he truly meant you could tell he was speaking from the heart and just truly happy. i love mark!!!

[@limboinc]

Got goosebumps watching this! Grats to Mark Ingram and has accomplishments and what he has done for Alabama and his fans! Mark gives us Alabama fans and nation another national title! RTR!!!!

[@RockSmithStudio]

Just because Cam Newton didn't cry during his speech doesn't mean he didn't care about winning the Heisman Award. He wants to the best he can be, just like Ingram. Two great players. Both very deserving Heisman winners.

[@mellocello94]

As an Oklahoma fan and Michigan Native, I loved seeing Mark Ingram play. His work on the field was insane, and he was just an all around beast. Also, thank you for beating Texas!

[@crimsonfanrtrcu]

My favorite Alabama player of all time easily... Mark was such a stand up guy and after all the fame and hype he was still very down to earth and easy going.. A true class act and he represented Alabama as well as any player has.. Roll tide

[@DUBSLIM]

welcome to New Orleans my brotha we need a talent like u for our team our city and our future

[@MarqueseScottNonStop]

MAN I HOPE UR CAREER TAKES OFF MAN U DESERVE IT MARK

[@HitmanR2]

Mr Ingram is a class act. I think all of these young men (who were up for the award) are. He conducted himself in a manner that would have made his mother, and the university proud. He is a wonderful young man and I wish him the best.

[@demartorris]

Mark had me crying too! Lol !Roll Tide!!

[@hothotheat3000]

Bless him, he was genuinely in shock.

[@JohnnyAmari]

I'm an Auburn fan, but I think this was a great speech. It definitely makes me like Mark Ingram more. I hope he does well in the NFL!

[@Shiftyfcker321]

im not a saints fan but im happy ingram is there. i want him to get a superbowl ring!

[@tassymccormick]

Now THAT'S a sincere speech there!

[@MrDirtnasty911]

Mark Ingram in the Big Easy now!!! Yea buddy we goin to be good real good

[@plllek]

awwwwwww he said it to his heart!!! congrats bama!!!

[@Bamaraider1]

That's why Ingram was deserving of it. He racked up tons of yardage AFTER CONTACT regardless of the O-line you play in, yards after contact is important. He also had to split carries with 2 other backs ( Richardson+Upchurch). Gearhart was good, don't get me wrong he had to do what he had to do, but he had a weak schedule compared to Bama's which I believe had the 2nd best that year.

[@hothotheat3000]

Good for him, man. He deserved it.

[@haroldz21]

god bless mark, i know he was extra emotional also because his dad is locked up in prison, but he just got drafted today congrats to him

[@alataylor1]

This is a much more heartfelt speech than Cam Newton's this year...just an observation! ~Roll Tide Roll!

[@randombuffalo]

i totally expected saban to frown at him and say "you should have won two."

[@Bamaraider1]

How did he not deserve it? He lit up the #1 defense not just in a regular game but in the fucking Semi-final SEC championship to go on and advance the the N.C, not only that he played his best when Bama was on PrimeTime. Give me break everyone there beside Ingram and Suh weren't deserving of the Heisman.

[@hamstrdethwagon]

I love how he didn't hug Suh.

[@yeaheverday]

what a class act! he's gonna fit right in wit us in New Orleans!!!! God Bless ya kid! WHO DAT!!??

[@RollTideRolll32]

I cried when Mark Ingram cried. (: hahahah. Roll Tide Roll.

[@landiesman682]

Great day in Bama History

[@Mott2]

Now this is a Heisman speech! You can feel how much it means to him! Unlike Cam's. "My parents do alot for me behind the scenes that goes unnoticed..." - Cam Newton. Did he really say that!? I'm sure that's what y'all hoped for but sorry Newton and Cecil people DID notice!

[@thebestreggie2763]

IF that is Ndamukong Suh at 0:15, than he should of won. I'm a Husker fan and half an Alabama Fan

[@rsalaamcu]

Bama history

[@TRUEGATOR1]

Tebow should have won ?? Are you serious ? First off i am not a ALA fan but i have to tip my hat at #22. This young man really deserved this trophy and the NC title. I have never seen a more dominant team than the ALA crimson tide. They really came out ready to play against UF in the SEC championship game. I just wish they would have played UF as poorly as they did Texas. ALA looked totally different in the NC game. They were still the best overall team this year. You cant argue that.

[@jamesgeorge2017]

ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@kentjackson20]

At least he can speak in clear, coherent sentences. And at least we know he won't be having to return this in two years.

[@blooberflat22]

@abetts00 thats mostly true but not necessarily...tebow won it when florida was like 9-3, or 10-2 headed to the captial one bowl against michigan, or the outback bowl...i cant remember...ingram won because he gained over 1600 yards against the toughest defenses in the country, all while not even carrying the full load since his backup(richardson) gained over 700...if he handled 90% of the load like most running backs do, he wouldve had well over 2000, and nobody would question his heisman

[@lordvoldemort578]

@TideFalconFan Oh I thought you meant In the Video One of the former Heisman winners on stage.

[@PandabotxFTW]

Billy Sims' dumbass, "Welcome to the family baby!" hahahahaha

[@RoseFielden]

in the heisman that year there was ingram (who won it of course),McCoy,Tebow,Suh. But who was the other canadate?

[@musicdude2009]

What's funny is this sunday Ingram will be going up against Suh this sunday.

[@andan04]

@jaimondrow Good eye. That's Tony Dorsett. And the message check probably could've waited.

[@jejesdad]

@blooberflat22 First off...let's be clear. Tebow was left of many ballots, so he indeed deserved the Heisman. He got the most 3rd place votes of all-time, and had he been involved in all of the ballots, he would have crushed Bradford. OU had 3 tough games that year, maybe 4, while Tebow went through the SEC, and lost 1 game, and then UF smashed OU by 10 in the BCS Title game. When Archie Griffin won it 2ce, his Jr. stats were better than his Sr. stats, but they didn't want Tebow to get it 2ce.

[@AtTheDriveBy]

really i dunno the fact that Ingram led the tide over Tebow i reckon clinched it for him. Im a tebow fan but Ingram was incredible at that game

[@lordvoldemort578]

@TideFalconFan Where was the Auburn fan?

[@msk1170]

I got a little dust in my eye

[@Ibanez3789]

2:13 HA!

[@flentrop2009]

See my man on the right about 2:14 check his Blackberry.

[@DirectShot999]

@TRUEGATOR1 I love to see fans like this :D

[@sealdrup]

Why are you watching this then?

[@blooberflat22]

@jejesdad are you serious, bradford had over 4700 yards passing and a qb rating of a little over 180, plus 50 tds and only 8 ints, tebow deserved it when he got it his sophomore yr, but bradford clearly deserved that heisman with the numbers he put up..not to mention he threw for about 2000 more yards than tebow, and i know tebow ran a lot too, but its obvious that bradford was the heisman winner that year, and tebow wasnt as good in '08 as in '07, so why would he win if his numbers fell off

[@TRUEGATOR1]

@idkmybffjohnccms I always give credit where credit is due. That ALA team was DOMINANT and i think their gonna be just as dominant this upcoming season. I hate to say that but its true. Look out SEC!!!

[@ARH1994]

much louder applause than cam's just sayin;) ROLL TIDE

[@blooberflat22]

@SmashMastr98 toby gerhart..rb from stanford

[@mwcarolina]

@davemiester true, in my book the people who bash Tebow for crying, but dont bash Ingram are hyprocrites. NOW i personally dont mind anyone crying in sports, sports are emotional when you win an award (like Ingram) or you play your last SEC game.

[@nathanp8790]

Who said "Welcome to the family!" Curious.

[@F8alaty45]

Really they invited Suh? I know he had a great year but damn

[@Shmike43]

Ndamukong Suh should have won. By a landslide

[@yekky22]

@NDandColtsMan probably

[@jujubeans157]

War Fucking Eagle.

[@MrValdez29]

TeBOW SHOULD HAVE WON

[@blooberflat22]

@jejesdad so because he was left off of ballots he automaticaly deserves it?? he wouldnt have won it anyways because his numbers were far inferior to bradfords, dude has a year like that, you cant deny him....just like timmy the year before

[@davemiester]

people made fun of tebow crying when he lost to alabama atleast he didnt cry when he got his heisman like this baby hahaha

[@jaimondrow]

Oh snap.. quick check your text messages at 2:10 on right.

[@Tyroneblocker]

@TRUEGATOR1 you tellem man

[@jejesdad]

@TRUEGATOR1 UF would have done the exact same thing to UT....probably worse. Tebow should have won it his Jr. year, and I'll say that. He was much better than McCoy and Bradford, and for OU to even think they had a chance against UF was a joke. Tebow got jobbed in his Jr. year and anyone with common sense knows it. He was left off a lot of ballots, so how fair was that?

[@charlotte1222]

lol

[@MarqueseScottNonStop]

who is scam? just wondering...

[@dirtybeezy723]

One year a great player and a class act wins the next year a guy who supposedly cheated in school and recieved money wins. What is the Heisman these days

[@football24619]

@TRUEGATOR1 mark ingram did way better than tebow did that year alabama killed florida in there game

[@abetts00]

I think the speech was great and he is a great player but I don't think he deserved the Heisman. The award is supposed to go to the most outstanding player not the best player on the best team right? Unfortunately it seems that most of the media voters dont look at it that way. Which is why if OSU wins out and Tyrelle Pryor doesnt play awful he will win the Heisman. Sad but true.

[@piti502]

@TRUEGATOR1 Colt McCoy Should of won not tebow

[@lightning608cp]

@musicdude2009 Too bad Suh is a little punk and did not get to play

[@dirtybeezy723]

One year a great player and a class act wins the next year a guy who supposedly cheated in school and recieved $200,000 wins. What is the Heisman these days?

[@TRUEGATOR1]

@piti502 Are you an idiot? Show me where i said tebow should have won!!!! As for colt winning it......yes, you are an idiot if you think that. So no answer needed for the opening question.

[@chipoknot]

@davemiester fuck you

[@dirtyjc13]

McCoy is so much better than Ingram.. that was a joke that Ingram won the Heisman! he only got touchdowns because he was a goaline back
