Brad Banks Does It Again

The most recent of the Heisman candidates the Iowa Football program has produced, Brad Banks spent some time in Iowa City which included the Hawkeye victory over Michigan Saturday night. In 2002 All-American Brad Banks was the AP College Football Player of the Year, Davey O'Brien Award Winner to the best college QB in the nation and was runner-up to Carson Palmer for the Heisman Trophy. Here he is pictured with equipment manager, Greg Morris.

Heisman Trophy Home Shuts its Doors

The Downtown Athletic Club suffered severe damage in 2001 and that year's presentation occurred at the Marriott Marquee in Times Square. The next year it moved to the Yale Club where Iowa's Brad Banks finished second to USC's Carson Palmer. Having attended that year, I will not forget the experience, but it took a while for my knee to heal after the Asst AD from SC, who sat in a folding chair in front of me, slide it into me in jubilation of the announcement.
