Skip to comments.Heisman 2012 [Sports Vanity]
Posted on 11/27/2012 9:48:27 AM PST by re_nortex
At this point of the college football season, with some crucial games still on tap for this weekend, the frontrunners in the Heisman race are A&M's sensational freshman QB Johnny Manziel and game-changer Manti Te'o of Notre Dame. Still in the hunt was once heavily-favored Colin Klein of Kansas State. Vanishing completely after an impressive start is West Virginia's Geno Smith.
I'd personally like to see Johnny Manziel win the trophy this year and the odds are evidently in his favor. But, to play the part of a contrarian, here's what could derail the hopes of those backing him for this prestigious award.
The dust of the college football season, and more specifically the Heisman race, has more or less settled at this point with the exception of two players. Many less worthy candidates have been brushed aside by poor performance, team failure, or both. Those who are left are, of course, "Johnny Football" Manziel of Texas A&M and our own Manti Te'o. Let's take a deeper look at their candidacies.
Notre Dame senior Manti Te'o is the unquestioned leader - on both sides of the ball - of the #1 team in the country. He is also the captain and, as middle linebacker, essentially the quarterback of the #1 defense in the country; while the defense's success is certainly attributable to many superlative individual efforts, Te'o's leadership and talent is a large reason why it has been as good as it has. As a unit, that defense leads the country in scoring defense versus FBS opponents and scoring defense versus ranked opponents, holding its opponents collectively to 19.2 points per game below their scoring averages, and has been the primary reason that Notre Dame climbed from unranked to #1 with a 12-0 regular season. Individually, Te'o leads the nation in takeaways with nine; his seven interceptions are good for second in the nation overall, which is exceptional for a middle linebacker and the most for any FBS linebacker in 12 years (and the last linebacker to have that many, Rice's Dan Dawson in 2000, was a 219-lb. hybrid who participated in the NFL combine as a safety - not a linebacker in the conventional sense).
Te'o has played his best on the biggest stages this season: In the first critical road test for the Irish against then-#10 Michigan State, he had a pass broken up, tackle for loss, and a fumble recovery in support of a dominating defensive performance that effectively killed the Heisman candidacy of Le'veon Bell. Against rival and then-#18 Michigan he recorded a tackle for loss and two interceptions of former Heisman candidate Denard Robinson, and hurried Robinson and a halfback into two others. In an overtime win against current #8 Stanford, he recorded 11 tackles and was instrumental in the overtime goal line stand that sealed the game. On the road against current #11 Oklahoma, he had two tackles for loss, one an early drive-killing sack, and a late game-clinching interception of Landry Jones, another former Heisman candidate. In the regular season finale against hated rival and preseason #1 USC, he set the tone for the second half with yet another momentum-changing interception while dropping into coverage on Heisman candidate Marqise Lee. He is only the second player in the illustrious history of Notre Dame to record over 100 tackles in three consecutive seasons. He currently stands third in Notre Dame history in tackles, behind only legends Bob Crable and Bob Golic. His personal story of class, integrity, and perseverance has been well-documented; he has handled the tragic loss of family with uncommon grace and has inspired countless people inside and outside the Notre Dame family through the quality of his character in ways that go far beyond the game of football.
Texas A&M's redshirt freshman Johnny Manziel has done an admirable job helping #9 Texas A&M to an inaugural SEC season that has exceeded the expectations of many while providing an exciting highlight reel and impressive statistical totals. The single event that catapulted "Johnny Football" into the Heisman conversation was Texas A&M's stunning upset of Alabama, a remarkable achievement indeed. However, one game is not enough to support a Heisman candidacy in itself, and when you apply some scrutiny to Manziel's season it does not stand up as it must to prove he is the best college football player in the nation this year. The Alabama upset aside, Texas A&M's schedule has not been all that impressive - against the three currently-ranked teams on it, Texas A&M is 1-2. The AP recap of the loss to then-#24 (and current #3) Florida in week 2 had this to say of Manziel's performance in a game Texas A&M lost by a field goal: "Texas A&M freshman quarterback Johnny Manziel threw for 173 yards and ran for 60 more, but he couldn't move A&M's offense after halftime." The AP recap of the loss to then-#6 (and current #7) LSU in week 7 included this summary of Manziel's performance: "[Manziel] completed 29-of-56 passes for 276 yards and also threw three interceptions. He was also the league's leading rusher coming into the game and was held to 27 yards on 17 carries." Three interceptions in a game Texas A&M lost by five points.
Just as significant as poor performance against good teams is that a good portion of Manziel's gaudy individual stats came against poor teams. Against FCS opponents South Carolina State and Sam Houston State, Manziel was 29/40 passing for 441 yards, 6 touchdowns and 1 interception, while he had 24 carries for 178 yards and 4 touchdowns. Further, in a 59-57 win over Louisiana Tech and its last-ranked FBS defense, he went 24/40 passing for 395 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception along with 19 carries for 181 yards and three touchdowns. Putting all that together: Against Texas A&M's three weakest defensive opponents Manziel threw for 836 yards (10.5 yards per attempt), 9 touchdowns, and 2 interceptions while running for 359 yards (8.3 yards per carry) and 7 touchdowns. In Texas A&M's three toughest games, however, he threw for 702 yards (at a paltry 6.0 yards per attempt), 2 touchdowns, and three interceptions, while running for 179 yards (at 3.4 yards per carry) and 1 touchdown. He feasted on soft opponents and, in two out of three chances on the big stage, wilted. Nationally, he ranks only 18th in passer rating. And in an unfortunate display of Heisman pandering, he attempted an extra point against FCS Sam Houston State when Texas A&M was up 40-0. He missed, appropriately. As for career performance, clearly as a redshirt freshman his career only consists of this season. Finally, while denigrating another's character is a bit too unseemly in a debate like this, it is fair to note that perhaps nobody in football is of better character and integrity than Manti Te'o - and certainly not Johnny Manziel, as nice a guy as he may be.
If you vote based on who has a more exciting highlight reel, the arguable choice is Manziel (depending on your philosophical opinion of offense vs. defense).
If you vote based on who has the catchier nickname, the clear choice is Manziel.
If you vote based on who the best player on the best team is, the clear choice is Te'o.
If you vote based on who has had the best individual performances in the biggest games, the clear choice is Te'o.
If you vote based on who has had a better career, the clear choice is Te'o.
If you vote based on who best exemplifies the official criterion of the award - "The Heisman Memorial Trophy annually recognizes the outstanding college football player whose performance best exhibits the pursuit of excellence with integrity" - the clear choice is Te'o.
It will be interesting. Manziel is incredible, but I suspect voters will not give it to a freshman. Te'o would be a great pick for the Heisman, but it is seldom they do defense..last I recall was Charles Woodson who also was an all time special teams great. Additionally, for every voter who is anti-SEC or anti-south, there may be two who are anti-Notre Dame.
If not either of them, I have no clue. Maybe we will see a surprise leader after these games this weekend.
IMHO the Heisman has become a joke. It's no longer an award for the best player in college football. It's a hype/popularity contest for QBs and RBs.
Nobody doubted Calvin Johnson was the best player in college football at the time, yet because he was a WR he didn't win.
Another factor involving Johnny Manziel, and I'm unsure whether it's a pro or con, was the fact that he didn't speak publicly until last night. This may have added to an aura of mystery and fascination about "Johnny Football". I think he did conduct himself quite well when the media was finally able to hear him, demonstrating a balance between confidence and humility.
Manti Te'o is very well spoken and gave a terrific postgame interview after the win over USC. Since he's a senior and was such an integral part of the Irish's remarkable season, he does have a strong case, even for a defensive player. There could be strong sentiment for Te'o this year along with Notre Dame being a nationally-recognized program.
The Heisman Memorial Trophy annually recognizes the outstanding college football player whose performance best exhibits the pursuit of excellence with integrity. Winners epitomize great ability combined with diligence, perseverance, and hard work. The Heisman Trophy Trust ensures the continuation and integrity of this award. The Trust, furthermore, has a charitable mission to support amateur athletics and to provide greater opportunities to the youth of our country. Our goal through these charitable endeavors is for the Heisman Trophy to symbolize the fostering of a sense of community responsibility and service to our youth, especially those disadvantaged or afflicted. All assets of the Trust beyond the expense of maintaining the annual presentation of the Heisman Memorial Trophy are reserved for such charitable causes. The Trustees, who all serve pro bono, are guided by a devotion to college football and are committed to community service and the valued tradition which the Trophy represents.
I don't like the Heisman Trophy. For one thing, football is a team sport that requires all of the team's members, not just some superstar, to succeed. For another, the award usually goes to players in "glamor" positions such as quarterback and running back. As far as I know, no lineman has ever won the Heisman, even though there were several who deserved it such as Ohio State's John Hicks in 1973.
The award also goes mostly to players from big schools that get a lot of TV exposure. Thus Ed Marinaro, arguably the best running back in the country, was passed over in 1971 because he played for Cornell. And for some reason, they don't wait for the season to conclude before they start voting. Thus, Anthony Davis missed out in 1974 because most of the votes were in when he scored four touchdowns against Notre Dame during the last game of the regular season.
The least they could do would be to award the trophy after the bowl games.
I would like to see Kadeem Carey of the U.of Arizona among the mix. But other than that, I vote for Manziel. This has more to do with me seeing Manziel play in multiple games against Top 10 teams.
After reading that, the best college football player for this year's Heisman Trophy is Barrett Jones of the University of Alabama. No question about it.
His performance against then #11 Clemson last Saturday was just phenomenal. Last week he played defensive end, down lineman and linebacker. He created havoc through out the game.
He is a freak of nature who truly alters the way an opposing offense plays.
I would like to see Johnny football face Jadeveon Clowney
MMMmmm. Well, let's see, the consensus seems to be that the choice is Manti Teo, Marquise Lee, Braxton Miller, Johnny Manziel, and Collin Klein . . . . I don't seem to see the name "Jones." Oh yeah, he's the guy who lost to Manziel, right?
Homer Alert!
I'd like to see Braxton Miller get it...but then every year, I want one of my Buckeyes to get it, or some other major hardware.
Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good. We had alot of luck this season...
Tavon Austin is arguably the best all around player in the country but doesn't have a prayer.
Texas A&Ms 59-29 route of Missouri on Kyle Field was once again led by the transcendant freshman quarterback, Johnny Manziel.
He finished the game with five touchdowns and broke the SEC single season total offense record beating out Cam Newton and Tim Tebow in the process.
Manziel went down in the game with a knee injury and returned to fuel yet another lopsided A&M victory. He may have led the Heisman Trophy voting before A&Ms final game of the regular season but his effort Saturday may have sealed the deal writes Chris Huston of CBS Sports.
Johnny Manziels 372 passing yards, 67 rushing yards and five total touchdowns in Texas A&Ms 59-29 rout of Missouri puts him on the verge of a historic first, Huston said. Simply put, by virtue of his record-breaking performance this season, the fabulous dual-threat quarterback has all-but-clinched the 2012 Heisman Trophy, which means hes set to become the first freshman in the 78 years of the award to be so honored.
Despite leading the race by a slim margin going into one of the final weeks of regular season play, Manziel was able to pull off miraculous plays to add on to his already spectacular highlight reel.
Huston writes that if the votes were submitted this week they would be Manziel at No. 1 and Notre Dames Manti Teo at No. 2 with Collin Klein, Braxton Miller and Marqise Lee following.
Huston also notes that Manziel would be the first freshman to win college footballs prestigious award but would be the second player hailing from Tyler, Texas to win it as Earl Campbell won in 1997.
"Jadeveon Clowney"
What drug were his parents on when they named him?
He is a good player, but hands down Jaydaveon Clowney from USC (The University of South Carolina) is far better.
And Manziel didn't beat Florida.
"A&Ms future is very bright, Manziel looks like hes going to be a star, they are recruiting lights out." posted on Mon Sep 17 2012 15:04:33 GMT-0500
Apparently, not against LSU or Florida. I do agree that he is a very good player most of the time. And I loved the SC-GA game!

I think UTex still has some say in whether Klein gets to a BCS game, not to mention how Kent State might figure into the mix.
Klein will carve up UT.
Yes Sir, you are correct. Counting chickens.... Klein will have to have a A ++++ day with zero mistakes..
Are any of them open and vocal Christians?
That will help you handicap it, since we all know that Tim Tebow went to the bottom of the pile once he came out as "one of those".
The winners since Tebow have all been vocal Christians, haven't they?
Also, he he the only contender that has a game yet to play before the vote?
Speaking as a fan of a team (OK State) that is one cross-eyed ref's blown/missed goal line fumble call from beating UT, I'm in favor of the scenario you have proposed above. I'm originally from KS and likely would have gone to K-State if I had finished HS there instead of in OK.
My Chiefs never have it easy. I was all pumped about them coming in first for the April draft. They had competition for weeks, but now they are the only one win team in the NFL. However, and the post-game hosts didn't mean to say the QB choices would suck in this upcoming draft, the two QBS that people had been suspecting would go first or in the top of the draft, Matt Barkley and Geno Smith, have been underachieving so now they look a whole lot worse. And Kansas City needs a better QB than Matt Cassel and Brady Quinn. Quinn is a dud who was drafted in the first round.
Just as voters were enthralled with being in on voting for the first black president, so too will they want to elect the first freshman Heisman winner.
I like Johnny Football!
I think they're going to give it to Notre Dame's Teo Manti.
My choice would be Tommy Edwards of Occidental College, who threw for a mile and a half this season. True, the defensively-challenged Tigers are 2-7, but at least they beat the Pomona Sage Hens and the Claremont Stags, although one of their losses was to the Whittier Poets.
Try not to hate so much. Be good to yourself.
Not a big fan of the SEC, but the USC Trojans don't play them that often--and as far as I know, Occidental College has never played them at all--so I don't feel that much animosity.
I, too, hate Notre Dame, but I might root for the Domers if they played Kim Il-sung University, the University of Havana, or Islamic University of Gaza.
Go Johnny Go!!! Have you really seen him play!!! He is absolutely amazing!!!!!!!!!!!
That QB Tivy has now may be a contender as well, if when he gets up there.
He was pretty slippery when we played em in Seguin... Very Quick.
But there sure were a lot of complaints about the Refs in Kerrville from thier opponents at K Tivy's homegames.
We have refs in Kerrville? I shall complain to the school board and have them removed at once ;o)
But seriously, we've been blessed of late with hustling, slippery QB's.
And from all I've heard (Dan Patrick) Te'o is a shoe-in for the Heisman. We shall see ...
I bet its Te'o as well.
I couldn't figure out how to say that the Hays and Lockhart fans and coaches said the Refs at the Tivy homegames seemed a bit biased...
I told em its cause they had to drive so far to get out there so everything seemed biased.
I just know that young man that is playing QB for the Antlers is good.. is he a Jr?
Tivy Quarterback Parks McNeil (7, above) tries to elude a pair of Cedar Park defenders during the Antlers Class 4A Division II area-round playoff against the Timberwolves Saturday in San Marcos. McNeil ran for two touchdowns and tossed a third, but Cedar Park ended the Antlers season at 8-4 with a 36-22 win.

With the Six Nations set for kick-off this weekend, Planet Rugby takes a look at each team's chances in 2013. Next up, Wales!
With the Six Nations set for kick-off this weekend, Planet Rugby takes a look at each team's chances in 2013. Next up, Wales!
Last season's Grand Slam winners followed up their success in the Six Nations with a torrid run of seven consecutive defeats, meaning that many appear to have already written off a Welsh title defence.
Last year: Wales could do no wrong in 2012. Their pack were dogged, their defence resolute and at times they produced brilliant attacking rugby through giant wingers Alex Cuthbert and George North. The high of reaching the semi-finals at the Rugby World Cup the previous year swept through into spring, with the likes of Leigh Halfpenny, Sam Warburton and Rhys Priestland all continuing their run of form.
In fact, Wales were so good that a series win in Australia seemed on the cards back in June. Instead they returned empty handed from a tight series and followed it up in November with four losses on the bounce, including a surprise defeat against Samoa and another late heartbreaker against the Wallabies in Cardiff.
This year: Crucially, despite their record reading otherwise, Wales have been far from hugely outclassed in all of their recent losses. Such is the Welsh way that when at their lowest a championship is not out of the question, with a good example being how they followed up their demise at the 2007 Rugby World Cup with a Grand Slam the following year.
Warren Gatland will be absent from their preparations as he focuses on Lions duty and the side may suffer for it, with Rob Howley now tasked with steering the ship. Howley's record so far does not read well and any aspirations he holds of taking on the role full-time in the future will rely on an improvement in the Six Nations.
An injury crisis at lock has seen the management turn to stars both young – the talented duo of James King and Andrew Coombs – as well as old in the 31-year old uncapped Harlequin, Olly Kohn.
Howley has highlighted his side's scrum as a weapon but the line-out could well struggle without experienced heads, which will make the backs' afternoons no easier. With Priestland injured, the responsibility will fall to one of Dan Biggar – with the Ospreys currently in very good form for his region – or James Hook.
Key players: Warburton remains as captain but the big question is where he will play due to the form of Justin Tipuric. The Osprey was phenomenal in the Heineken Cup against Leicester and is now impossible to ignore.Halfpenny has showed time and again that he has a world-class boot, a factor that can help Wales edge out tight matches if needs be. Biggar for now appears to have the edge over Hook at fly-half and the question will be whether he can replicate his excellent form for the Ospreys at Test level.
Howley hailed the return of Adam Jones earlier in the week and the tighthead can be an attacking option for Wales at scrum-time if he has enough support from behind, all of which makes Lou Reed, with only two caps to his name, rather essential in the absence of Ryan Jones, Bradley Davies, Luke Charteris, Alun Wyn Jones and Ian Evans. The final key star is Jonathan Davies. The Lions stock of outside centres is currently deep with Brian O'Driscoll and Manu Tuilagi, but Davies has shown so far in his Test career that he has the ability to start for the touring side.
Prospects: Their recent record and injury list all indicate that Wales should be written off for the title, and yet it's not that simple. All their prospects hinge on the opening fixture against Ireland – start well and optimism will return. Lose, and the misery will continue.

And that's part of why I love sewing with scraps - it's taking something "leftover" and putting it to good use. That mentality is really at the core of the quilting tradition. But regardless of tradition, I really get enormous satisfaction out of seeing that transition. Some of my hardest-to-use leftovers are triangle or bias-cut trimmings from piecing shapes like flying geese (the Swoon way), joining binding, string blocks, etc. That's why I have been eagerly looking forward to learning a new technique today at Completely Cauchy.
|Compost Quilt by Completely Cauchy
If you're a fan of scrappiness, you may become a fan of Complete Cauchy. She has a serious commitment to working with small pieces... in fact with any piece at least 0.5" inches in each direction. Her Scraptacularity Manifesto is quite to the point and strikes a chord with me. Last year in Scraptacularity, Part 1 she taught a clever way of using small scraps to build new "fabric" in a log cabin construction.
|blocks by Completely Cauchy
Today in Scraptacularity, Part 2 she shows us how to use foundation piecing to stabilize bias cut scraps so that they can be used in all their slanting glory and still produce nice flat works. Aren't these little scrappy charm squares gorgeous? And true to the tradition of making use, she suggests you use old phonebook paper for your foundations. I've done that too - works great! Check out Completely Cauchy for a step-by-step tutorial!
In our Scrap Attack movement I encourage you to work with scraps, however you define them. For anyone new to Scrap Attack, you're welcome to make a quilt of any design and in any size to join in. The key detail is that it be made mostly from scrap (all details here). We'll celebrate at the end of March with a Festival of Scrappiness for all who've finished a quilt top. If you make more than one quilt, why then you'll just have more chances at some fun prizes.
Psst... wanna know how I roll? I keep pretty small scraps. It's not unusal to find 1" wide pieces in my tiny scrap bins and they really do get used... sometimes. In fact, I think I'll be back tomorrow to show you what I've been piecing lately with my teeny tiny scraps. Until then!

We are excited to be able to offer our guests luxuriously cozy robes to use during their stay with us. After trying out several different brands and styles, we finally decided on the terry lined microfiber robes from Cypress. Each robe is monogrammed with our logo on the pocket. With all of the new airline weight restrictions on weight and amount of luggage, we figured we could help our guests by letting them leave those bulky robes at home!

We Gettin' A-Rod Money (And You Can Too)
The Way We Live Now: slowing down. Taking it easy. Why get so hung up on "economic growth?" Why not sit back on the yacht, counting our vast fortune obtained through professional sports or financial shenanigans? Doesn't that sound better?
Okay, so, economic growth is slowing, the employment outlook is grim, everyone's hunkering down for another stretch of hard times. Provocative question: why???????????? Allow us to suggest an alternative route I think you might enjoy a little bit more, if you know what I mean (that you will like it better).
Sitting around and worrying about how you'll pay your bills? Forget it! Get up off the couch and practice some baseball, then get a contract with the Texas Rangers. Then, when they start messing with your money, do a bunch of legal maneuvering to protect that $25 million they owe you. Don't let them off the hook.
That's money in the bank!
This is better, right? Next, never pay taxes on your $7 million yacht. Fuck that. More money saved, boom. Then, stop giving tenure to so many public school teachers. They need that why? Good. Done.

As I said last time.
Gambit! He could charm anyone into just about anything. Good looking and what an accent! I loved him in that old school Xmen cartoon. Plus, he could blow just about anything up! Talk about the flair for the dramatic :P. His outfit was way too cool. I mean a duster over his costume, plus those red eyes!
Sticking with ironman, cause he is cool yo!
"All expectation leads to suffering" Buhhda
Sandbox means open world, non-linear gaming PERIOD!
Subscription Gaming, especially MMO gaming is a Cash grab bigger then the most P2W cash shop!
Bring Back Exploration and lengthy progression times. RPG's have always been about the Journey not the destination!!!
theres so many of them as im a huge marvel, and specially x-men fan,,,, i'd would say Nathan Christopher Charles Summers Cable Askani's Son Soldier X The Chosen,,, or however that line went ( havent re-read x-force in quite a while ), but actually there is one marvel char i like even more then cable and dark phoenix,,,,,
partially becouse of his invovment in Cable's "Messiah" storys, but most of all becouse he's one of the coolest drawn marver characters, add his wit and insanity, his mental instability, wolverine's healing abilities, increadible agility, two katana's and a occasional firearm plus the fact he's neither a true villain nor a true heroe, and you get my very favorite Marvel character ever
Wade Winston Wilson is the man!!
PS. one of my very favorite moments from the whole marvel universe's history as a bonus:
PS2. did i mention he's hillarious?
Games previously played: AO, AoC, Aion, AoW, Eve, SWTor, WaR, STO, TSW, DCUO, FE, BP, ProjectEntropia, FootballSuperstars!
I'm still a huge fan of Ant-Man. Shrinking doesn't seem like much of a power, but that just meant he had to outTHINK his opponents rather than just punch them hard.
Plus, even if he's not even included in the game, I can always point at the screen and SAY he's there and everyone will just have to take my word for it.
There are so many but my top pick would the Invisible Woman. She was a beast in Marvel Ultimate Alliance. On one of my many playthroughts, I went with an all Fantastic Four team. There were stages when all of the FF were knocked out except were, and she could solo the stage until the other recovered.

Chapters 1-2 Summary
As Part One of Wonder begins, August Pullman explains that he is not normal. He likes the same things other ten-year-olds like, such as video games and ice cream and bike riding. But when he goes to the playground, other kids "run away screaming" at the sight of his face.
August was born with severe medical problems that caused deformity to his facial features and skull. In public, people stare at him, or they work hard not to look at all. They never just treat him like everybody else. He says:
Here's what I think: the only reason I'm not ordinary is that no one else sees me that way.
After ten years of being himself, August has learned to pretend not to notice how other people react to him. His whole family pretends—except his older sister, Via, who sometimes shouts at kids for their reactions to her brother. To August, her protectiveness is a sign that she does not see him as normal any more than strangers do. His parents think he is "extraordinary." This leaves him in an awkward position: of all the people he knows, only he understands that he is a regular kid on the inside.
At the end of the chapter, August speaks directly to the reader: "I won't describe what I look like. Whatever you're thinking, it's probably worse."
Why I Didn't Go to School
August is about to start fifth grade, and he is "pretty much totally and completely petrified." Before now, he was always homeschooled because he had to have so many surgeries, and because his medical problems made him sick a lot. His parents thought it was better to keep him home. But now he is stronger, and he does not need another surgery for several years.
Though August has sometimes wished he could go to school in the past, he never particularly wanted to go as himself. He wanted to "be like every other kid" and play games and hang out. As it is, he has several friends he has known since he was little. He and his best friend, Christopher, are pretty close, and Zachary and Alex are pretty good friends as well.
But Christopher recently moved to the suburbs, and Zachary and Alex have hung out with August less since they started going to school. August still sees Christopher once in a while, and they attend each other's birthday parties every year. Nobody else invites August to his or her birthday parties, at least not lately. He remembers all the kids who ever did invite him, but he has not seen some of them in a long time.
Chapter 3 Summary
How I Came to Life
August loves hearing about his own birth because his mom always makes it a funny story. Whenever she tells it, August and Via end up laughing uncontrollably.
Nobody expected August to be born looking the way he looks. Via had been born a few years earlier, and her birth was completely normal. Because of this, nobody ran any special tests when August was in the womb. A couple of months before he was born, the doctors realized he had a cleft palate and a couple of other problems they called "small anomalies," but nobody thought much of it.
The night of August's birth did not go particularly well. His mom's regular doctor was not on duty, so a stranger, a very young guy, delivered August instead. One of the nurses kept letting out loud, smelly farts every few seconds. Everyone was grumpy except for August's dad, who kept cracking jokes to make August's mom laugh.
When the baby August was finally born, the room fell silent. The young doctor fainted. A nurse rushed out of the room with him before his mom even got to see him. His dad followed the nurse, dropping and breaking his video camera in his rush to find out what was wrong.
The farting nurse stayed behind, and she practically had to wrestle August's mom to make her stay in bed. Meanwhile, the farting nurse shouted at the young doctor to get up and stop being a total disgrace. During this ordeal, the nurse let out "the biggest, loudest, smelliest fart in the history of farts." According to August's mom, it was this fart that woke the doctor up.
When August's mom tells this story, she acts it all out and uses sound effects for the farting noises. August finds it absolutely hilarious.
In spite of everything, the farting nurse turned out to be a wonderful person. She stayed and comforted August's mom all night, even when August's dad came in and told her that their new baby was very sick and might not live. When August survived to the next day, the nurse held August's mom's hand when she finally got to see him.
According to August's mom, her first sight of August's "tiny mushed-up face" was not traumatic at all. All she noticed was her new baby's beautiful eyes.
At the end of the chapter, August again addresses the reader directly:
Mom is beautiful, by the way. And Dad is handsome. Via is pretty. In case you were wondering.
Chapters 4-5 Summary
Christopher's House
August first learns that he might attend a real school when he is playing at Christopher's house. He overhears his mom mentioning it to Christopher's mom and demands to know what she means. She said she thinks August is ready to go to school with other kids.
August disagrees, and his dad backs him up. August climbs into his dad's lap and whines that he wants to stick with homeschooling. He knows he is acting like a baby, but he cannot help it.
On the drive home, August falls asleep. When he wakes up, he hears his parents arguing quietly. His mom says that it does no good to "keep protecting" August from his real life. He needs to learn to deal with other people instead of avoiding them all the time. But August's dad says that enrolling August in middle school is like sending "a lamb to the slaughter."
August does not know what "a lamb to the slaughter" means, and he interrupts the conversation to ask. His parents refuse to define the phrase, and his mom seems mad at his dad for mentioning it at all.
Mom explains that she and Dad went to talk to the principal of a small school near their house, Beecher Prep. They told the principal all about August's personality and his bravery through all his surgeries. When August asks, she admits they brought pictures of his face, too.
August is disappointed to learn that his dad attended this meeting. It gives him the sense that his parents are more united in their opinions than they seemed at first. August is even more upset when he learns that this discussion started a full year ago, and that the lady who came to the house a few months ago, supposedly to give him an IQ test, was actually administering an entrance test for Beecher Prep.
Again, August demands to know what "a lamb to the slaughter" is....

Chapters 6-7 Summary
Paging Mr. Tushman
When he goes with his mom go to meet Mr. Tushman, August is a little giggly at first because he keeps thinking of all the butt jokes he and his family made. He kind of expects the principal to have a big rear end, but Mr. Tushman turns out to be a skinny, normal-looking old guy.
When Mr. Tushman introduces himself, August looks at the ground to hide his face. The principal kneels down so August has to look at him, and they talk about the subjects August likes to study. Because August likes science, Mr. Tushman asks if he would like to sign up for a science elective. August nods, although he does not know what that is.
Next Mr. Tushman says it is time for a tour. This surprises August, who thought he was there only to meet the principal. He is a little annoyed with his mom as the three of them go inside.
Beecher Prep is much smaller than the school Via used to go to. August thinks it has a strange smell, like a hospital.
Nice Mrs. Garcia
It is still summer, so Beecher Prep's halls are almost empty. August hides behind his mom so the few people in the halls will not see him. He knows this is "kind of babyish," but he does not feel brave enough to deal with being seen by a lot of strangers today.
In the office, August meets the secretary, Mrs. Garcia, who reacts the way most people do when they see him. Her eyes drop for a second, and her smile gets much brighter. August feels uncomfortable as he shakes her hand, but she is friendly as she tells him he can always check with her if she needs anything.
When August does not say anything, his mom asks if the baby in the picture on her desk is her son. Mrs. Garcia beams and says he is her grandson, and he is not a baby anymore. The two of them chat happily for a minute about babies, but Mrs. Garcia's smile fades a little when Mom says how beautiful the baby in the picture is.
"We're all going to take very good care of August," Mrs. Garcia says. August sees her squeeze his mom's hand, and at that moment, he realizes that his mom is totally scared too. He decides he likes Mrs. Garcia as long as she is not making the extra-bright smile.
Chapter 8 Summary
Jack Will, Julian, and Charlotte
Mr. Tushman's office is nice, and August likes the stuff on the desk. He notices some art on the walls that was obviously made by students. The pictures are all framed like real artwork.
During the conversation with Mrs. Garcia, she mentioned the students called her "Mrs. G." August asks Mr. Tushman if he gets called "Mr. T." Mr. Tushman laughs and says no, but he adds that the students probably call him some other names behind his back. August laughs, surprised but glad that the man is willing to admit that his own name is embarrassing.
Next, August asks about a picture on the wall behind the desk. He thinks it is a pumpkin, and Mr. Tushman...

Chapters 9-10 Summary
The Grand Tour
The kid named Julian takes charge of the tour. He takes August to Room 301, the homeroom all of them share. He points out the door but does not take August inside. Next, Julian leads the way to a science classroom. Here again, he stands in the doorway, but Jack Will interrupts and says they should all go inside.
Inside, Julian points out all the stuff in the room, including the desks, the chalkboard, and the erasers. Charlotte protests that everyone knows what an eraser is, but Julian says that maybe August does not know if he has never been to a school before.
Through all this, August is too nervous to say anything, so Jack Will presses him to speak up.

Chapters 11-12 Summary
The Deal
After Julian, Jack Will, and Charlotte bring August back to Mr. Tushman's office, they hang around awkwardly, apparently unsure if they are allowed to leave. Mr. Tushman asks about the tour, and August says it was fine. Julian acts much nicer with the adults around. He even chats with August's mom about the baby chicks that hatch every year in the science classrooms.
August does not want to stay at the school any longer, so he reminds his mom that they have to pick Via up. They do not really need to do this; the reminder is their pre-arranged signal so August can tell her he wants to leave without embarrassing anyone.
Mr. Tushman seems confused at their abrupt...

Chapters 13-14 Summary
First-Day Jitters
On the first day of school, August is terrified. He has stuck to his decision, but his parents have continued to argue about it. At some point, his mom and his dad switched sides. Dad says that if August can handle kids like Julian, then he is ready to go to school. But Mom seems less sure now.
Beecher Prep is not far from August's house, but he has rarely walked past the place. He normally avoids streets where lots of kids hang out. Instead, he spends most of his time on his own block, where people know him and are used to him. He has lived in the same place his whole life, so he feels strange going to an unfamiliar place so close to home.

Around the Room
After everyone figures out how to open his or her lock, Ms. Petosa explains that she used to work for Wall Street but quit her job because it was her lifelong dream to be a teacher. Julian raises his hand to say that is a cool thing to do, and she thanks him. She asks everyone to say a little about themselves and invites the rest of the class to ask questions. Because Julian has already spoken, she asks him to go first.
Julian tells the class about a new computer game and Ping-Pong table he got over the summer. Charlotte goes next, and she says she has two sisters and a new puppy. Ms. Petosa thanks her and continues working her way around the room toward August.

Chapter 17 Summary
Choose Kind
When the bell rings, August checks his class schedule and sees that he is supposed to go to English in Room 321. He walks there with his head down, not stopping to find out if anyone he knows is going there, too. He arrives in a classroom where a bearded man is writing on the chalkboard. Once there, August again chooses a seat in the back of the room.
English starts out much like homeroom. August avoids making eye contact with anyone, and nobody except Jack sits near him. This interests August because Jack is obviously funny and well liked. If he wanted, he could probably sit with almost anyone.
When the bell rings again, the teacher introduces himself as Mr. Browne...

Chapters 18-19 Summary
August is surprised at how difficult lunch is. Via told him it might be the hardest part of his middle school day, but he was not prepared to see so many kids at once. He did not expect them all to be saving seats for their friends either.
Eventually August chooses a seat at a table by himself. He looks around for Jack Will but does not see him. He sees Julian and a few other boys he vaguely knows, but he does not try to sit with them.
The lunchroom teacher explains the rules of the cafeteria and then chooses tables one by one so kids can go up and get their lunches. August has brought his lunch from home, so he gets it out and unwraps it slowly. He feels the other kids...

One to Ten
August's mom always asks him to rate pain on a scale of one to ten, ten being the worst. This started one time when he had jaw surgery and could not talk, but now she uses it any time she thinks he might be in pain. It is the first thing she asks when he walks out of school: "One to ten?"
After thinking it over, August rates his day a five. Mom seems fairly happy about this, and she suggests he was expecting worse. She tries to take his backpack for him, but he nudges past her and heads for home. He is eager to get away from the kids who are staring and pointing at him on his way out, but he does stop to say good-bye to Summer.
On the way home, Mom asks about...

Wake Me Up When September Ends
The whole month of September is hard for August. He is not used to getting up early, doing homework, or taking tests. The structure of his day is new to him, and he finds it strange that he cannot stop to play when he feels like it.
The worst part of school is the staring, or rather, the way kids try not to stare when they clearly want to. In August's classes, most kids walk strange routes around the room to avoid coming near his desk. He wonders if they think they can catch a disease from his face.
The hallways are awful, too. Every time August comes face to face with a kid who does not expect him, the kid gasps. For the first few weeks, it...

Mr. Browne's October Precept
In October, Mr. Browne writes a new precept on the chalkboard: "YOUR DEEDS ARE YOUR MONUMENTS." He has chosen this quote because it comes from an Egyptian tomb, and he knows the class is studying Ancient Egypt in history. When asked to write a paragraph about the precept, August writes that it means that people should be known for what they do, not what they say or how they look.
August's birthday is October 10, which he likes because he can write it as 10/10. He wishes he had been born at 10:10 a.m., but he was not that lucky.
Most years, August has a small birthday party at home, but this year he asks for...

At lunch the day after August's birthday, Summer asks what he is going to be for Halloween. He says Boba Fett, one of his favorite characters from Star Wars. She tells him he is allowed to wear a costume to school. August, who loves Halloween, gets excited.
Summer explains that kids are not allowed to wear anything offensive or carry fake guns—which is bad news for August because Boba Fett has a blaster. But Summer insists that middle school rules are better than lower school rules. Last year, everybody had to dress up as characters from books.
August asks what Summer wants to be, and she says that her favorite idea is "too dorky." She makes him promise...

Chapter 29 Summary
To August, Halloween is the best day of the year. He likes it even better than Christmas, mainly because on Halloween, he gets to wear a mask. "Nobody takes a second look," he says. "Nobody notices me. Nobody knows me." Sometimes he wishes people wore masks all the time. That way, people could get to know each other a little before revealing their appearance.
When August was five or six, he had an astronaut helmet that he wore constantly. He wore it even in summer when it made him hot and sweaty. But when he was seven, he had eye surgery and had to stop wearing the mask for a while. Somehow it got lost, and his mom could not find it anywhere. Eventually he got used to life...

Arriving at school in costume is, for August, "absolutely awesome." He does not have to keep his head down. He actually wants to be seen. In the halls, he passes a kid wearing the exact same Bleeding Scream costume he is wearing. The kid high-fives August in passing. August is thrilled, although in the back of his mind, he guesses the kid would not have done that if he had known who was under the mask.
August thinks today is "going to go down as one of the most awesome days in the history of [his] life" until he arrives in homeroom. There he finds Darth Sidious and knows immediately it is Julian beneath the mask. Two mummies are hanging out with Darth Sidious....

Part Two of Wonder is told in the voice of Olivia, August's older sister. Olivia explains the "galaxy" of her life like this: "August is the Sun. Me and Mom and Dad are planets orbiting the Sun." Only the dog, Daisy, does not orbit around August—and that is only because Daisy cannot tell how different August is.
Olivia is used to her life, and she claims she does not mind that August is always the center of attention. She has always understood that August's needs were greater than her own. When she was little, she knew she had to choose quiet games when he took naps. Later she understood that her parents often had to miss her soccer games because...

Seeing August
When Olivia was little, she was so used to August that she did not understand how other people could find his face shocking or horrifying. She knew he looked different, but people's reactions seemed completely overblown. They made her furious, and she sometimes shouted at people—even grown-ups—who stared at her brother in public.
At the age of eleven or so, Olivia spent four weeks with her grandmother, whom she called Grans, while August recovered from a big jaw surgery. It was Olivia's first long trip away from home, and she loved the way she and Grans could walk around without attracting attention. She felt free because August was not there.

August Through the Peephole
Olivia describes her brother's appearance in detail: his eyes are too low, and they are oddly slanted. They sit crooked on his face, and they bulge out from too-small eye sockets. His top eyelids hang halfway over the eyes even when he is wide awake, and his bottom eyelids droop to reveal the red skin below. He has no eyebrows and no eyelashes. His nose is a huge blob. His face is pinched in at the sides as if it has been crushed. He has no cheekbones, so his skin sags. He looks "melted, like the drippings on the side of a candle." Surgical scars surround his mouth. He has an overbite, and his teeth stick straight out.

High School
Olivia loved middle school because when she went there, she was her own person, separate from her family. Elementary school was like an extension of her home life. Everyone called her Via, the nickname her family still uses for her. Also, August was always around. He came to school every time his parents came. There were not many people who could babysit for a boy who had as many needs as he did.
In middle school, there was more separation. A lot of people knew about August, but it was "maybe the second or third thing" they found out when they met her. Olivia knows kids whispered about it when she was not in the room, telling each other that she had a brother who was...

Olivia hides in the bathroom until the coast is clear and then jogs to the subway station to take public transportation home.
Olivia is not allowed to take the subway by herself, and the trip takes far longer than a ride with Miranda would have taken.

Dad takes Olivia's side, saying that she is old enough to ride on the subway alone. Clearly surprised by this, Mom asks what is going on. Olivia cannot resist saying that her mom would already know if she had come back to Olivia's room last night as promised.

After a while, Olivia does not even mind the change. She spends several lunches in the library reading War and Peace, and she is amazed at how much it is like a soap opera.

So that evening, Olivia visits August in his room and asks if he feels good enough to go to the Halloween Parade. He says no, and she is surprised. August has been through more awful medical stuff than most people do "in ten lifetimes." She does not believe that nausea could stop him from having fun.

Summer simply insists that she likes him. Privately, she is surprised that this is even a big deal. "It's weird how weird kids can be," she thinks.
