The Sooner Nation could finally and officially celebrate Heisman Trophy winner No. 6 after Saturday night’s momentous ceremony crowning the 2017 winner, our very own Baker Mayfield. As you can imagine, the Twitterverse was ablaze about the Oklahoma Sooners superstar, and we’ve compiled some of the best tweets commemorating his special night.
Enjoy! Also, if you see some other tweets that are worthy of recognition, make sure to @ us (@ccmachine). We might just add them to the list!
Baker Mayfield becomes the first walk-on player in the scholarship era to win the Heisman!

My man @baker_mayfield6 is VERY misunderstood! His competitive spirit is special and sure, sometimes has gotten the best of him. But, he is a good man that is driven to be the best. Congrats Baker!

Of course, no Sooner could be awarded the most prestigious award in college football without a little support from a certain vociferous previous winner.

NFL reporter Adam Schefter’s informed and unbiased opinion is refreshing. If only Kiper and McShay weren’t still burrowing their heads in the sand.

Baker Mayfield had to be a walk-on in order to play major college football. Now he's won the Heisman Trophy.

Sooner fan Lil Wayne... It’s safe to say Baker’s street cred is now probably stonger than it’s ever been.

Oh, before we let you go, there was also a Heisman voter who admitted to being the dumbest person in America this morning. Our friend RJ Young explains:
Waco Tribune-Herald sports editor @BriceCherry brought politics and
— RJ Young (@RJ_Young) December 10, 2017
"integrity" into his Heisman voting. And that's why he left Baker off his ballot because he believes Baker lacks integrity.
Counterpoint, Brice: Mackenzie Asher. #BoomerSooner
I bet Brice Cherry goes on a lot of dates.
It's not even noon, but @BriceCherry is already your Dumbass of the Day. https://t.co/ucTLc8Rlwp
— Crimson & Cream Machine (@CCMachine) December 10, 2017
Brice Cherry: "I'm not going to put Mayfield on my ballot because he lacks integrity."
— SoonerSource (@Sooner_Source) December 10, 2017
Also Brice Cherry: "I'm not going to call Baylor on the carpet for all the raping because I don't want to risk losing my access to the program."
There was also a very special fan of the Oklahoma Sooners, Mackenzie Asher, mentioned by Baker last night who tragically passed away recently. Here are some words from her father, Jayson:
So humbled by the mention of my amazing daughter Mackenzie. She would be thrilled and honored to be recognized by @baker_mayfield6 and @espn . Proud to be a part of the Sooner Nation! She really loved you guys @LincolnRiley @OU_CoachStoops
— Jayson Asher (@JaysonAsh) December 10, 2017
Congratulations from all of us here at Crimson & Cream Machine, Baker Mayfield. BOOMER!
