Home Depot ESPNU College Football Awards Show
6:00pm CST * ESPN
Three Tide players are up for four different awards tonight, so tune in and cheer on Terrence Cody (Bednarik Award, best defensive player), Mark Ingram (Maxwell Award, top overall player, and Doak Walker, best running back), and Leigh Tiffin (Lou Groza Award, best place kicker).
UPDATE: Well, that kind of sucked.

question..
whats the differnce in the Maxwell and Heisman?
"The goal is to be a champion," Saban said. "I didn’t say to win a championship. I just said be a champion. That’s our goal here. That’s what we want to do."- Nick Saban
Heisman is
for “most outstanding player” Maxwell is for “player of the year”
/distinction without a difference.

"The goal is to be a champion," Saban said. "I didn’t say to win a championship. I just said be a champion. That’s our goal here. That’s what we want to do."- Nick Saban
Just to repost it here
I looked at some of the numbers for the Doak, and came up with this:

Seriously, Herbie
I would give a million dollars — if I had a million dollars — for you to ask Tebow, “Are you going to cry now, baby?”
Another million for him to say
“I’m sorry baby, Verne isn’t on this network.”

I hate Tebow for so many reason
but when you strip him down (no homo), he seems like a decent guy

Yeap, Gerhart
Beasty TD stat and consistency did I think. Talent though? Spiller or Ingram, definately.
Tennessee Fans: We win at teh Internet!
I live in ACC country
And have watched Spiller his whole career. He is amazing, and if he weren’t injured all year he would have won. I think he will be a major star in the NFL in my opinion. I think he’s the most explosive player in CFB.

He's good, but
Purely as a RB, no way. He did a lot of damage on special teams, but was 28th in the nation in rushing.
He's one of those fun-to-watch
“speed” backs. He doesn’t have the power to be an every-down back, but jeebus he is shifty.

I wonder what they talk about…
I would love to know
what Cody was thinking about that made him laugh like that!

No clue...
… I’m getting a slow page load on RBR right now, but I’m also getting one on most web sites, so I think it’s probably an ISP issue on my end.

Aaawwwhhh
Such a cute skit.
Leigh Tiffin should win this one, imo. Isn’t he 2nd all time in FGs?

we got a crystal award to win

I was just about to say that...
these awards would be nice, but it is that pretty crystal football we all want!
by BamaGirlinVegas on Dec 10, 2009 6:28 PM CST up reply actions
its really the only one we care about
the others are nice, but we just don’t care.
Alabama...
Not getting these things. I thought that should have gone to Tiffin, but Forbath is pretty great too.
Tennessee Fans: We win at teh Internet!
Forbath was impressive
In UCLA’s win over UT.

missed 3 xps doesnt help
36-0
"If wanting to win is a fault, as some of my critics seem to insist, then I plead guilty. I like to win. I know no other way. It's in my blood."- The Bear
Don't great players give their team the best chance to win???
and needing Army to win to get a bowl birth sounds pretty pathetic or is this a feel good show?
Got that winning feelin'
Nick always looks like he's tolerating the media
And they should be thankful he is spending time with them
I don't believe we're gonna hear "Yea Alabama"
Looks like a West/Midwest “Look at Me” show, since it doesn’t happen in the rankings.
Got that winning feelin'
ok i have to admit it...
i’m sorta hoping mccoy wins the heisman to make the parallel to 92 even stronger.

It says something
To have a guy in so many different categories. I thought, personally, that Tiffin should have won the Groza, but Gerhart over Ingram and — presumably — Sugh over Cody I do understand. I think Ingram has a very good shot at the Maxwell, though.
Tennessee Fans: We win at teh Internet!
Suh will win
And all due respect to Mt. Cody, I still can’t figure out why he was a finalist instead of McClain.
while I have your attention...
go read the “Championship buttons” fanpost and help me out please!

Kelly for Coach of the year...
and he’s leaving to go to ND. Fantastic.
also Chris Fowler should leave Kelly alone
it was obvious he wasn’t going to talk about it
I say call him out on it...
I think it is funny. He got a coach of the year award for coaching a team that he has already said he will not be coaching next year…
by BamaGirlinVegas on Dec 10, 2009 7:40 PM CST up reply actions
although
I do feel bad for his current players having that aired on national tv like that.
by BamaGirlinVegas on Dec 10, 2009 7:41 PM CST up reply actions
and
he won’t coach the bowl game against FL!
by TexasTideGirl on Dec 10, 2009 10:31 PM CST up reply actions
I just lost every ounce of respect for these awards
Not to be a homer, but if Coach Saban is not the hands down winner then I don’t know what to think about that
"The only way to improve relations with Auburn is to beat them a few times. " 5026's Mom
How long ago did they vote on this?
Have they been watching the news lately?
by BamaGirlinVegas on Dec 10, 2009 7:38 PM CST reply actions
Apparently not the the past three years
"The only way to improve relations with Auburn is to beat them a few times. " 5026's Mom
Add +4 to the All-American Count
but does that surprise anyone?
does anyone know...
whether the Maxwell winner usually wins the Heisman as well?

-Coach Nick Saban
Make it three
Ingram’s finally getting a little distance between he and Gerhart/Suh

Let's hope so...Saban looked pissed bringing his guys and leaving with squat..
He’ll be ready to settle this on the field come Jan. 7th.
Got that winning feelin'
Tebow
won the last two years, one he won the Heisman, one he didn’t.

no kidding...
I mean I am all for the fact that we work as a TEAM and therefore have a difficult time winning individual awards but COME ON!! I can’t believe the number one team in the country is walking away with an Assistant Coach award, and that is all…

in the SEC apparently have their shit together at least.

C'mon guys and gals...
like you expected anything different? Anybody wanna bet Gerhart or McCoy win the Heisman instead of Ingram?? Fuck it, add more fuel to Bama’s fire is what I say.
He bleeds Garnet and Gold, She bleeds Crimson and White. AND THEY BOTH HATE ORANGE! GO NOLES!! ROLL TIDE!!
