Former Auburn running back Jovon Robinson was dismissed from the team on Wednesday and in the Bama Hammer way, we searched Twitter.
ICYMI: Should Latest Transfer Cause Worry?
Robinson’s dismissal was announced by Malzahn at his press conference on Wednesday per Al.com.
He was expected to have the starting role at running back when the Tigers got their 2016 season underway, but that ended on the first day of fall camp.

Not any set of fans builds up their players for awards than the Auburn folks. It happened last year with visions of Jeremy Johnson accepting the big one in December and then hoisting a national championship not too long after that.
Truth be told, I went into this search hoping for “Jovon Robinson will win the Heisman” tweets. And I did get a few of them. However, some of the other ones made me laugh just as much as those and in some cases even more.
Before we go to the results, let me just say how wonderful it is to be talking football on a somewhat normal basis. I didn’t think you would ever return, baby.
Let’s see what we can find.

Well, two out of three ain’t bad, I suppose.

Twitter recruiter could have gone with Jovon Robinson’s “last game in Jordan-Hare”.
@RyanABlack Accurate. Also b/c @matthewcstevens wants to continue to write Jovon Robinson features this fall. I don't think I'm alone.

I’m going to go with no here.

Under.
Still going with under. Living on the edge. Okay, let’s grab a few Heisman tweets and wrap this thing up.
Some of these are from 2015 which proves hope springs eternal in Lee County.
