Don't Forget... College Football Awards Show

[gatorunvrsty]

The College Football Awards Show is on tonight at 7:30 ET on ESPN. They're giving away the Maxwell Award (Outstanding Player), Walter Camp Award (Oustanding Player), Bednarik Award (Defensive Player), Davey O'Brien Award (Top QB), and Doak Walker Award (Best RB). Good luck to all the SEC players. Here's hoping we clean up.:thumbs:

[GatorBait15]

Hope we can bring some hardware home, I think Tebow and D mac will combine for 2 or 3.....

[sheluvsbama]

Yes, good luck to everyone! It should be a nice way to spend a little TV time.

[GatorHunter]

Hope we can bring some hardware home, I think Tebow and D mac will combine for 2 or 3.....

Tebow may be left out of these awards...they tend to go to upperclassman.

[gatorunvrsty]

Tebow may be left out of these awards...they tend to go to upperclassman.

Sarcasm? All the awards tend to go to upperclassmen, including the Heisman, remember? :happy: I'm hoping Tebow's the guy that bucks the trend.

[FightinTiger71]

I think Tebow wins the Maxwell and the O'Brien. McFadden is the clear cut Doak Walker winner. And as for the Bendarik, I think it's down to either Glenn Dorsey or James Laurinaitis from Ohio State.

[gatorunvrsty]

I agree, but think that Tebow will probably only get one of the 3 between the 2 for outstanding player and 1 for QB. DMac is a lock for the Doak. And, you're right about the Bednarik, too. Everything I've read and heard has those two battling for it; but, many have said Laurinaitis may have a better shot because Dorsey has already collected a couple awards. I don't know how the voting goes, though; and whether or not votes had to be submitted before people knew Dorsey had won those others.

[LSU PRIDE]

good sh*t ima watch this


its a live show with all the guys there right?


when is the heisman given out?

[GatorBait15]

he15man sat...............

[gatorunvrsty]

good sh*t ima watch this


its a live show with all the guys there right?


when is the heisman given out?

Yeah, it's live at 7:30 ET. The Heisman will be awarded at 8 p.m. on Saturday, the 8th.

[sheluvsbama]

Yeah, it's live at 7:30 ET. The Heisman will be awarded at 8 p.m. on Saturday, the 8th.

The tension will be thick enough to cut with a knife. There is great anticipation building...:unsure:

[GatorBait15]

I just can't wait! we are so close! I hope I don't end up brokin' hearted : (

[GatorHunter]

I think Tebow wins the Maxwell and the O'Brien. McFadden is the clear cut Doak Walker winner. And as for the Bendarik, I think it's down to either Glenn Dorsey or James Laurinaitis from Ohio State.

I'm surprised Kevin Smith wasn't included...2,400yds...he's only 200yds away from Barry Sanders' record.

[shanksta13]

I doubt Tebow will win more than 1 award tonight, if even 1. These awards (at least the Maxwell and O'Brien awards) typically go to the guys that don't win the Heisman.

[BamaFanNKy]

Is John Parker Wilson up for the award for "best limp wristed throw when not planting your feet?"

[GatorBait15]

We are blessed with this, great job Tebow! god is on Tebows shoulders.

[crusse10]

so...what's the "8" pin in Tebow's Lapel?

[GatorBait15]

Dorsey is a good guy, good speach not cocky thanked everyone and God, classy guy he just made a fan out of me, hope he plays great vrs osu!

[gatorunvrsty]

SEC doing good so far!

[GatorBait15]

D mac. wasn't one of my favorite speaches....he kind of just praised himself, kind of cocky and was just talking about how good he was this year : /

[GatorBait15]

hell of a video guys, the VT,USC thing was kind of touching...USC not putting the kicker on the feild........

[gatorunvrsty]

D mac. wasn't one of my favorite speaches....he kind of just praised himself, kind of cocky and was just talking about how good he was this year : /

Yeah, I noticed that, too; but, really, I couldn't understand everything he said. Definitely a good thing he can run, because he won't be winning any awards for humility or academics.:whistle:

[BamaFanNKy]

I didn't think he was cocky. Also is one of many gods on Tebow's shoulders or THE God?

[GatorBait15]

There only is ''one'' god. imo

[gatorunvrsty]

I didn't think he was cocky. Also is one of many gods on Tebow's shoulders or THE God?

:blink: What? I'm not sure what you're asking. And, I guess if you don't consider only crediting yourself, and not thanking anyone else for helping you accomplish something, it wasn't cocky.

[GatorBait15]

:blink: What? I'm not sure what you're asking.

I guess im not geting it either.....

[crusse10]

lets not go to the god discussion, cause that'll take up way too much space here...

oh, and sure mcfadden will win academics awards...i mean, he's gotta be in the top of the class at arkansas

[GatorBait15]

I didn't mean to start everyones engine, I was just saying this guys somthin else man, someone up there really likes him, he is a great guy with a great story behind him, and god seems to be with him, or at least angels are on his shoulders.

[gatorunvrsty]

lets not go to the god discussion, cause that'll take up way too much space here...

oh, and sure mcfadden will win academics awards...i mean, he's gotta be in the top of the class at arkansas

:laugh: Okay, that was good.

[crusse10]

thanks, at least we can sometimes agree on some things

[gatorunvrsty]

I didn't mean to start everyones engine, I was just saying this guys somthin else man, someone up there really likes him, he is a great guy with a great story behind him, and god seems to be with him, or at least angels are on his shoulders.

You didn't start anything. I don't even know where the question about God or gods came from. I'm still clueless about where and how that originated.

[BamaFanNKy]

We are blessed with this, great job Tebow! god is on Tebows shoulders.
Well you Floridians are heathens..... IN Kentucky we Capitalize the first letter when we spell out the creator....God not god. Unless you see Tebow in that roll. :laugh:

[crusse10]

i find this quite humerous.
as most people who have been to neyland stadium know, the ut band plays the opponents fight song to honor the team's fans and thank the fans for coming.

i know the majority of the songs that have been played tonight

(a testament to the domination of the SEC this evening)

[gatorunvrsty]

Well you Floridians are heathens..... IN Kentucky we Capitalize the first letter when we spell out the creator....God not god. Unless you see Tebow in that roll. :laugh:

That's where I figured it came from. I think we're a little less formal on the internet sports forum. Do you think God will ever be able to forgive 15 for this transgression? :happy:

Also, tell me why you guys in Kentucky also capitalize both letters of the word IN, and the the letter "C" in capitalize. Are you Kentuckians saying that the word "capitalize" is equally important as the word God, and that the word "in" is more important?

[GatorBait15]

Well im sorry for that, my computer is falling apart and I can barly even read what I write I have to hold it together while I type it's a pain in the rear and it's getting hard to type,post on this computer but I have to use it when im watchin tv. sorry bout that though!

[BamaFanNKy]

oh, and sure mcfadden will win academics awards...i mean, he's gotta be in the top of the class at arkansas

I find it ironic how UT and UF fans crack on other teams "academics." Neither FUlmer and the vols or UF would ever allow an underachieving player in.

This is one of the Florida genious recruits that "All of a sudden" passed!
http://youtube.com/watch?v=Dpxjl23QFH8

[GatorBait15]

Mangino didn't even fit in the spotlight!!!!!

[crusse10]

here's something else i found funny, when broyles talked about who he looked up to, he mentioned bobby dodd.
i looked up bobby dodd, and moved on to the bobby dodd award for coach of the year, and saw that the award named for a coach of georgia tech was first given to vince dooley, 1976 coach of the georgia bulldogs.
just an interesting little tidbit

Uuummm, McFadden isn't a recruit, BF, he's a friggin' junior in college. He'd be graduating next year, and wouldn't be able to speak English well enough to conduct a job interview at Waffle House.

[BamaFanNKy]

Same a T. Diddy. I've met some UF and UT Football players. I will even throw Bama in there. No SEC team (with exception to Vandy) should be throwing academic stones.

[GatorBait15]

Darn, to bad Dorsey didn't win he's a good guy...to bad he was hurt alot of the season not at 100 percent.

[crusse10]

well, if any linebacker will beat out dorsey, it should be one from penn state.
joepa knows how to breed em really well.
i mean, come on.
last year 2 of the 3 finalists were from penn state. that's rediculous.

[crusse10]

oh, and i was just joking.
there's no problem with a jab every now 'n then.
besides, if necessary, i could run away before the arkansas fan would figure out the joke anyway ;)

[GatorBait15]

YES! go TIM! your somthin else!!!!

[GatorBait15]

Alot of class from that boy.

[BamaFanNKy]

This is not a slam..... but doesn't his mom look like the wife of every missionary your church sponsors? What does she use to dye that hair?

[GatorBait15]

We actually have better academic credentials than Vandy in a number of fields; and have shown ample evidence of it over the last year in a number of threads. Vandy is a private school, and is ranked 19th best college in the nation. Florida is public, and ranked 49th. USNews.com: America's Best Colleges 2008: National Universities: Top Schools (http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/usnews/edu/college/rankings/brief/t1natudoc_brief.php) Some ranking services actually place UF higher than Vandy.

Instead of always talking out of your a$$ without any proof of what you're saying, would it be that hard to actually research some of this before making inflammatory remarks that only show your own glaring ignorance? We even talked about this for a good portion of the year before football season started. What you know about the academic credentials of any university, particularly Florida, would fit in a thimble.:dry:

[KillerNut]

Dan Connor wins the Bednarik award. What a joke. James Laurinaitis was a lot better than him this year. LMFAO at Penn State supposedly being Linebacker U. They cannot hold a candle in the wind to tOSU as far as past and present linebacker talent.

You really aren't going to show GSR numbers and say "In Some Fields." Talking out your a$$ is manipulating numbers to make your point. Vandy is top 20. Your Top 50. Game Over.... better school is Vandy.

Don't see UF....... So that means Vandy is better. To throw public v. private is B.S. Because I went to a private college and we are at a disadvantage to public. Public have tons of money poured into the school and recieve major points because of this. The ranking systems who place UF higher are called University of Florida Admissions. So congrats being on par with UC Davis. You would be the #6 California school.

That surprised me, too. I mean, over the last couple years, I've heard a lot about Connor, but not so much this season. In fact, leading up to the awards show, I hadn't even heard his name mentioned by anyone.

Taurean Charles was a "Zook" recruit...so I'm not surprised he "passed"...but he never played a down at UF. He was thrown off the team for hitting a guy in the head with a beer keg...if I'm not mistaken.

I remember watching the movie not knowing where he went. I was just thinking.... please choose Miami. That was a sad movie really. My whole point is every team has guys that probably won't be Rhodes Scholars.

Maybe GU meant...besides Vandy, UF is the top academic school in the SEC.:thumbs:

BTW, I didn't see where GU said UF was better academically than Vandy...he said UF is ranked higher is some categories than Vandy. And don't even throw the "money" argument in...do you know the family from which that school got its name? Not to mention the tuition is astronomical. Try again.

[BamaFanNKy]

A guy who reminds me of Tebow..... Jason White :) I kid boy wonder.

Hmmm..... thinks what his grad program tuition costs were at Vandy..... That's a reason I haven't finished the MBA program there.

GU is trying to say Vandy and UF are on par education wise.

[GatorHunter]

How many people have ever won the Maxwell, O'Brien and Heisman trophies in the same year, just out of curiosity?

Par for the course, usually. Whoever wins the Maxwell and O'Brien, usually wins the Heisman as well.

I was a bit surprised though...I wasn't expecting Tebow to win because these awards are typically given to upperclassman.....like the Heisman...;)

[sheluvsbama]

For Tebow, this is just the beginning. It is going to be a wild ride. Everybody strap your seatbelts on! :laugh:

Really, I can't really remember many QBs recently that won all 3. Wuerffel is the last one to have done it, I think.

[gatoraus]

Really, I can't really remember many QBs recently that won all 3. Wuerffel is the last one to have done it, I think.

They just said on ESPN that the last time someone has won the Maxwell and the Heisman in the same year was '99(not positive). I just have the TV on in the background so I wasn't really paying attention but they definitely said 90 something.

[KillerNut]

That surprised me, too. I mean, over the last couple years, I've heard a lot about Connor, but not so much this season. In fact, leading up to the awards show, I hadn't even heard his name mentioned by anyone.

Don't get me wrong. Connor carried the PeeSU linebacking corps last year even though SlowPo won the bednarik and butkus awards. But why does PSU claim to be considered linebacker U? Name their great linebackers in the past 30 years?

Penn State
Lavar Arrington
Dan Connor
Paul Poluszny

Ohio State
AJ Hawk - 4th pick 2006 NFL draft 1st round GB Packers - Lombardi winner
Andy Katzenmoyer - 28th pick 1st round NE Patriots in 1998. Butkus winner
James Laurinaits - 2 time all american
Mike Vrabel - starting LB, 3 super bowl rings with New England Patriots
Greg Bellisari
Na'il Diggs - Carolina Panthers
Matt Wilhelm - San Diego Chargers
Cie Grant - was with the Saints
Chris Speilman - NFL HOF inductee, current ESPN CFB analyst
Tom Cousineau - 1st pick of 1979 NFL draft
Randy Gradishar - finished 7th in 1973 Heisman voting. Best LB Woody ever had
Marcus Marek
Steve Tovar
Pepper Johnson

Need I go on..... All of the tOSU linebackers I listed played in the NFL

[shanksta13]

Yeah, that was Ron Dayne, I think. But to win all 3 of the awards I mentioned, you would have to be a QB. I know that hasn't been done since Wuerffel. :thumpsup:

[gatorunvrsty]

For a guy who is smug and calls people names for giving an opinion this post should mean a lot.

Give me a break. 75% of your posts are attacks on UF, Tebow, or their fans; including me. I call anybody stupid who constantly makes remarks without first checking to see if they're true... those aren't opinions, they're lies.

[BamaFanNKy]

Jason White won all three...... He won the Heisman, then next year won Obrien and Maxwell when Matty of USC won the big award.

[crusse10]

nice how you conveniently made it 30 years to eliminate jack ham

i'd take him as an anchor of the steel curtain over most linebackers ever

[gatorunvrsty]

Yeah, that was Ron Dayne, I think. But to win all 3 of the awards I mentioned, you would have to be a QB. I know that hasn't been done since Wuerffel. :thumpsup:

Yeah, I was just going to say the only one I'm aware of is Wuerffel; but of course, he'd be the only one I would be that familiar with. I'm sure between tonight and tomorrow, the major sports sites will be doing that research, and will write something about it.

[BamaFanNKy]

Give me a break. 75% of your posts are attacks on UF, Tebow, or their fans; including me. I call anybody stupid who constantly makes remarks without first checking to see if they're true... those aren't opinions, they're lies.
Name the fact I left out..... 75% of my posts are about naked women on babe of the day if you want to know the truth. Or about limp wristed JPWilson or cracking on my team. Or how DevilDawg is smoking crack or defending Mark Gottfried or fighting that the PAC 10 is the #2 conference or the SEC plays weak OOC schedules.....nothing about UF. I have no hate or care about UF. Why would I care about UF when my team can't beat Monroe or MSU.

My family is from N. Alabama.... not the gulf. You have this weird thing where you see my name and think I hate UF. Remember MY FAVORITE SEC PLAYER IN THE LAST 5 YEARS IS A LOCAL BOY COREY BREWER! I have always said Tebow is the truth and the only way Shula would of saved his job. So get off my a$$ your only making yourself look like one.

[gatorunvrsty]

Jason White won all three...... He won the Heisman, then next year won Obrien and Maxwell when Matty of USC won the big award.

Well, that wouldn't be in the same year, then.

[BamaFanNKy]

Danny W. is the last to do it in the same year. White won all three in different years. He won the Davey O'Brien 2 times, Maxwell the year after Heisman (The year he won Heisman it went to Eli).

[BamaFanNKy]

Well, that wouldn't be in the same year, then.

Hey another post making yourself look like an a$$..... you must hate Bama waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

How the hell are you a moderator?

What does that have to do with anything? Is there a difference between N. Alabama and S. Alabama? If there is, it's a cultural thing I'm not familiar with, and have no clue why it would pertain to this. I see your name and it doesn't mean anything to me. In fact, I'm dating a Bama fan; and almost every other Bama fan on this site and every Gator fan on this site respect each other's program. You're the odd man out. You can claim that you don't bash us if you want; but, we all see you say negative things about Tebow and UF every day. Every time a thread is started, you have some smart-a$$ remark or something degrading to say about the kid. And, to try and further your point, you make blatantly false claims. Let's just say that gets tiresome; and, after enough of them, it starts to get personal. If you didn't single out the one person and program, it wouldn't be such a big deal; but, you can't feign ignorance at this point, and act like you don't know what I'm talking about. I'm only on your a$$ in the first place because I can barely make a comment without you wading into the conversation to make a snide remark... and it's never anything of substance to improve the debate.

hopefully somebody will post a thread with all the winners of each award

Hey another post making yourself look like an a$$..... you must hate Bama waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

How the hell are you a moderator?


I love Bama. I've worn a Bama t-shirt for every game this year, as long as it didn't conflict with a Gator game. My girlfriend's a Bama fan... one of my best friends is a Bama fan... and I get along with most of the other Bama fans on here. And, how does it make me look bad that you can't read the prior post asking if anyone had won all 3 awards IN THE SAME YEAR? :whistle:

[BamaFanNKy]

What false claim have I made...... You still won't post that. Are you refering to my claim that UT and UF allow lesser academic athletes in just like McFadden? Uh.... I posted a movie where a kid "suddenly" qualified at a top 50 university. Or was it my keeping up with the BCS non conference head to head with actual stats of Wins and Losses. Or are my opinions "false claims." Most of the things you disagree with me are opinion based not fact based.

As far as busting chops.... all teams have taken a ribbing from me. Even BAMA. Look at my post about Les Miles today. At least the Tiger fans understand it's in fun. Or the Auburn fans..... But, they know I am the Bama Fan who other Bama fans flame because I admit I fear their coach the most in the SEC. You guys are trying to take the crown for most sensative fans from us Bama fans..... YOU WON THE FREAKIN NATIONAL TITLE. YOU HAVE THE HEISMAN WINNER! Nut up and learn to joke around.

I figured there may be some panhandle rivalry down there. I don't get to the southern part of Bama much.

But here is your chance..... where did I not do research and posted out of my ass.

[sheluvsbama]

Name the fact I left out..... 75% of my posts are about naked women on babe of the day if you want to know the truth. Or about limp wristed JPWilson or cracking on my team. Or how DevilDawg is smoking crack or defending Mark Gottfried or fighting that the PAC 10 is the #2 conference or the SEC plays weak OOC schedules.....nothing about UF. I have no hate or care about UF. Why would I care about UF when my team can't beat Monroe or MSU.

My family is from N. Alabama.... not the gulf. You have this weird thing where you see my name and think I hate UF. Remember MY FAVORITE SEC PLAYER IN THE LAST 5 YEARS IS A LOCAL BOY COREY BREWER! I have always said Tebow is the truth and the only way Shula would of saved his job. So get off my a$$ your only making yourself look like one.

Some Bama fans might take issue with your talk about JPW being "limp-wristed". We might not always be thrilled with his play, but we are more determined to encourage him. If you are willing to diss your own QB this way, it makes one tend to wonder about your loyalties.

I missed the whole same year part). Let's hug. If you wear a Bama shirt I am honored. I will put on the hat Emmit Smith gave me after the bowl game against Washington. I think you really take my post as being mean spirited..... I am not Bama Perry,Sabama, DevilDawg, Grady or whoever elese is a hater.

I will say I would vote for Tebow..... but it was hard saying DMAC didn't deserve it after that midget robbed it from him last year.

Where were you when I was defending the Basketball coach earlier. I actually never refered to him as limp wristed before..... More like "JPW plays like Lamar Latrell throwing the javelin in 'Revenge of The Nerds.'"

JPW frustrates me......

Well, I can agree that the man got robbed last year, for sure. I really guess it goes to show how spoiled we all are in the SEC; because Troy-boy put up great numbers against Big Ten teams, but he sure didn't look like a Heisman Award winner against the first SEC defense he faced. We're accustomed to great ball like that... tOSU had that look like deer in the headlights, and froze with nowhere to go.

:happy:

They were shocked. Nobody expected things to turn out so one-sided. Such a blow-out. They wished they could go home, crawl into bed and forget it ever happened, but instead they were forced to endure til the finish. I am sure it wasn't easy!:happy:

I really don't think he ever got big enough to play in the NFL; and he may have actually been advised that it wasn't healthy. I know there was talk at that time about what kind of longevity he could expect in each sport. He was 6'2", but still never got bigger than 185lbs.. You can't play QB long in the NFL at that weight. I guess he could've been a DB or something, but I guess he figured his best chance was playing basketball. In the end, injuries in the NBA ended his career. Imagine how much shorter his career would have been playing football.

[BamaFanNKy]

Seems size wasn't the big thing. More length of carrer. He would of been a 1st round QB if he wanted to play in the NFL:

Professional career
Upon graduation, Ward stated he was undecided about professional basketball or football and made it clear that he would not consider playing in the NFL unless selected in the first round of the 1994 NFL Draft. Because teams did not want to waste a first round pick on a player that might eventually choose the NBA, Ward was not selected in the 1st round of the NFL Draft. Instead of pursuing a career as a football player in the NFL, and having been chosen in the 1st round (26th overall) of the 1994 NBA Draft by the New York Knicks, he began his career in the NBA as a point guard. An inquiry was made during Ward's rookie year with the Knicks to become the backup quarterback for Joe Montana of the Kansas City Chiefs, but Ward declined.

Ward played sparingly in his rookie year under head coach Pat Riley, but the Knicks organization referred to him as "the point guard of the future." When assistant coach Jeff Van Gundy took over the head coaching position, Ward's time on the floor began to increase, becoming the primary backup for point guard Derek Harper. During his NBA career, Ward established himself as a good three-point shooter, a reliable ball distributor, and a respected floor leader. Ward was selected to the participate in the 1998 NBA All-Star three-point competition, finishing fourth in the event. He soon helped the Knicks reach the 1999 NBA Finals, before falling to the San Antonio Spurs, that would become his next team in January 2004, after a trade-and-waive between the Knicks and the Phoenix Suns, that cut him the next day. After maintaining relatively good health over his first decade in the league, injuries caused Ward to miss most of the 2004-05 season, that he played for the Houston Rockets, and put his career in jeopardy. Because of the injuries, Ward retired.

Off the court, Ward is one of the NBA's best role models, as he is known for his extensive charitable work through groups like the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. He recently became the assistant varsity basketball coach at a prep school in Houston, the same town he last played in the NBA.


[edit] Controversy
In 2001, while a player for the New York Knicks, it was discovered that Charlie Ward had made some disparaging comments about Jews during a Bible-study session, comments that were eventually leaked to the press. Among the comments made: "Jews are stubborn... tell me, why did they persecute Jesus unless he knew something they didn’t want to accept... They had his blood on their hands."[1]

There was an expected amount of outrage directed at Ward from Jewish groups, as well as the Knicks organization and the public at large. Ward defended himself by indicating that "I didn't mean to offend any one group because that's not what I'm about. I have friends that are Jewish. Actually, my friend is a Jewish guy, and his name is Jesus Christ."[2] He also noted that the quotes were taken out of context, as he had stated that "Jews are stubborn" in speaking to what he perceived to be their disinclination to convert to Christianity.[3]

Eventually Charlie did apologize for his statements, with his apology being accepted by the Anti-Defamation League.[4]


He hates Jews? That's weird.
