As an athlete, when you graduate or leave a program, you are always taught to look out for those in the program and show loyalty to your school. Sometimes showing that loyalty can put you in a bad spot, and make you look absolutely ridiculous. Take for example former Oklahoma Sooners quarterback Jason White. White won the Heisman Trophy at Oklahoma in 2003, and finished third in 2004, losing votes to his teammate Adrian Peterson. With that Heisman win, White has earned the right to vote once a year on the prestigious award. As a Heisman voter, you are allowed to vote for whomever you choose. The Oklahoman is reporting that White’s 2012 Heisman ballot is in, with one potential perceived issue. White left Heisman-favorite, Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel, off his ballot and gave a vote to fellow and current Sooners quarterback Landry Jones. Here is what his ballot looks like: 1. Collin Klein 2. Manti Te’o 3. Jones Jones and Manziel square off in the Cotton Bowl, and you can bet Johnny Football will put on a show. I can understand being loyal to your school, but being a hilarious homer is not a good look on White. You may now have your vote revoked.

See how Bob Stoops voted below. As already pointed out by USA Today and Fox Sports, something appeared real funny about how the Big 12 coaches voted in the final poll.

NORMAN, Okla. — The Sooners undoubtedly took a huge hit when legacy defensive tackle prospect Justin Manning selected Texas A&M over OU Thursday afternoon, but now they must move on and get back on the trails with many other good targets still available.
