Marcus Mariota won the Heisman Trophy on Saturday night, and his in-state rivals at Oregon State took the classy road and congratulated him with a full page ad. 

In an announcement that shocked absolutely no one, Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota won the Heisman Trophy on Saturday night in a landslide vote. He garnered over 90 percent of the total vote in the win but it’s the fallout from that win that is proving to be the coolest story.

There was no shortage of people who wanted to see Mariota lose the Heisman based simply on the fact that everyone was handing it to him almost as soon as he was announced as a candidate. But it’s really hard to find legitimate reasons to hate the nicest guy in college football and this is being proved by his in-state rivals at Oregon State.

After Mariota won the first ever Heisman Trophy that an Oregon school has won, Oregon State took out a full page ad congratulating him on honoring the state so well.

It’s really hard to hate Mariota and that’s as true as it’s ever been with Oregon State taking time to congratulate him on winning the Heisman. People have a right to be skeptical of his NFL prospects but there’s no calling into question his character or how well respected he is by his college football brethren.
