ESPN Home Depot CFB Award Show

Davey O'Brien goes to Troy... but the Maxwell goes to Brady Quinn???? I hate these politically correct award committees. Since the big trophy will go to Troy we have to give something to Quinn??? Brady had 2 chances to shine this year and got killed in both games. Troy would have put up NCAA record numbers against ND's schedule. Just give it to the guy that deserves it. How do you win the O'Brien (best quarterback) and the Heisman (best player) and not the Maxwell (college player of the year). I can live with Patrick Willis beating out Laurinaitis for the Butkus but putting Quinn above Troy for anything is absurd.

The Maxwell voters have made some very strange selections over the years (see, e.g., 1974). I wouldn't worry about it too much.

Desmond Howard got Troy nothing but props last night on the Screamin' A. Smith show. Also, he had nothing but kind words the say about tOSU, he's picking tOSU in the NC game. He said, Florida doesn't have enough offense to keep up with the tOSU machine! I guess that was a cloned Desmond Howard.

Then he must have had a huge reversal of opinion from that ESPN Gameday morning. I remember Kirk was as stunned as I was. "You mean, you don't think Troy Smith or Brady Quinn are ....?" "Nope."
