Dear Mike Hart,

Dear Mike Hart,

I hate Michigan. I mean…hate. As a die-hard Penn State fan, I feel it is my duty to loath your team with every cell of my being. I’m sure you understand.

And yet, I wanted you to win the Heisman.

Let’s be honest - there aren’t really any top candidates for this year’s award. Last year, your fifth-place showing was impressive, and your entrance to the Purdue game was nothing short of spectacular. You weren’t just Michigan’s lead rusher…you were the nation’s leading rusher. And I’m behind you on that.

Has your ankle injury during the second quarter against Purdue put you out of the running? Sigh. I hope not. You seemed in good spirits from the sideline, and Coach Carr has remarked that you often bounce back quickly. I hope you come out full force next week against Illinois and kick a little ass. Oh, and congrats on the Michigan win this weekend, even if you didn’t play the whole game.
After all, I like to keep things “in the family” so to speak. Now that Ohio State has a chance at the national title, wouldn’t it be great if the Big Ten took home the first place finish AND the Heisman?

So, this is not a letter of annoyance or hate or even sarcasm. This is a genuine note from me to you, Mike Hart. Get well soon.
