Earl Thomas was robbed!December 11, 2009
I watched the College Football Awards last night which were okay. I wanted more, at least a montage damn. I couldn’t a highlight montage?
Maxwell Award (Outstanding Player) – Colt McCoy, Texas QB
The awards bother me because they go to the best players on the best team. The most outstanding player this year was C.J. Spiller of Clemson. He carried his team on his back, and the only player to score a touchdown in every single game this year. Some might argue Ndamukong Suh was the most outstanding player which I’d have a hard time arguing. I just know it wasn’t Colt McCoy not, 2009 Colt, 2008 yes, 2009 not even close. Against the two toughest defenses he faced, OU and Nebraska, he had subpar games.
Walter Camp Award (Player of the Year) – Colt McCoy, Texas QB
My thoughts? (See above). One more thing, what’s the difference between Outstanding Player and Player of the Year? These damn awards need better definitions. All of these sponsors making money off of these awards is all it is. Someone please explain the difference between the Heisman Trophy, Maxwell Award, and Walter Camp award and then I’ll probably expect you to tell me the cure for cancer because if you can find legitimate distinctions for these three awards you are a smart motherfucker foreal.
Home Depot Award (Coach of the Year) – Brian Kelly, Cincinnati Head Coach
I can’t argue with this one. He went 12-0. Played a tough schedule as well. If Northwestern head coach, Pat Fitzgerald, wins the Big Ten then I’d have to ride with him, but Kelly earned this one.
Doak Walker Award (Best Running Back) – Toby Gerhart, Stanford RB
Mark Ingram was…..not robbed. Gerhart has rushed for 1700 plus yards and 26 tds. His lowest rushing output this season was to Wake Forest for 82 yards. Ingram has a great offensive line, and isn’t even the best running back on his team because Trent Richardson who is only a true freshman is the real deal on this. For the sake of being an asshole, I must say Toby Gerhart isn’t the best running back in his own state, Ryan Matthews of Fresno State is, and the best running back in the country is CJ Spiller.
Davey O’Brien Award (Best Quarterback) – Colt McCoy, Texas QB
Now I can live with this one, kinda. Quarterbacks must win games and Colt has done that. Only reason he wins this in my eyes is for his touchdown saving tackle in the Red River Rivalry game. If he doesn’t make that tackle, OU wins. Jimmy Claussen has thrown for more yards than Colt, has a higher QB rating, and has 28 tds/4 ints vs. Colt’s 27 tds/12 ints, but Colt didn’t get socked in the eye and he’s won all of his games so I have to ride with him on this one.
Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award(Best Sr. QB) – Colt McCoy, Texas QB
I agree with this award, but what’s the point of it? Senior QB? Why the hell don’t we give an award to every other top senior at every other position then? The money for this award better be going to a good as foundation or charity and not someone’s pockets, but I fear the worst.
John Mackey Award(Best Tight End) – Aaron Hernandez, Florida TE
He’s lucky Jermaine Gresham was hurt. Not saying he’s not on the level of Gresham, but voters have a one track mind as you saw with the Thorpe award. Either way, he’s definitely better after the catch than Gresham and had a great year this year.
Fred Biletnikoff Award (Best Wide Receiver) – Golden Tate, Notre Dame WR
He barely gets this over Jordan Shipley, because of his spectacular runs after the catch and having to fight through double teams after Michael Floyd went down.
Outland Trophy (Interior lineman) – Ndamukong Suh, Nebraska DT
I need another definition. Eh, not definition more so of an explanation. Why the fuck is there an interior lineman award? Why don’t we just have a best offensive lineman award and a best defensive lineman award. They are all virtually doing the same thing. It’s like have a slot receiver of the year award, a deep receiver of the year award, a possession receiver of the year award, give me a fucking break. Eithe way, Suh won it and he deserved it.
Lombardi Award(Outstanding Lineman) – Ndamukong Suh, Nebraska DT
(see above)
Chuck Bednarik & Bronko Nagurski (Defensive Player the Year) – Ndamukong Suh, Nebraska DT
Why, why, why do we have two defensive player of the year awards. I need a good explanation. Suh deserved it, but why do we have two?
Dick Butkus Award(Best Linebacker) – Rolando McClain, Alabama LB
Technically, I agree with this award. He outplayed Brandon Spikes, Eric Norwood, and Sean Weatherspoon. He did not outplay Sergio Kindle, but Kindle started nine games at DE and played more of a hybrid DE/LB role but spent most of his time at DE, so by default I gotta give it to McClain.
Ted Hendricks Award(Best Defensive End) – Jerry Hughes, TCU DE
Yeah, he has good stats(54 tackles, 11.5 sacks, 15 tackles for loss, 2 passes broken up, 7 QB hurries) but in the voters minds he won this award before the season started. I’d give it to Sergio Kindle who has faced double teams all year long and still managed the pressure the QB 25 times, 13 tackles for loss, and 3 passes defensed. Hughes was helped with TCU blitz happy defense which freed him up for more one on one opportunities with the offensive tackles.
Thorpe Award(Best Defensive Back) – Eric Berry, Tennessee FS
Earl Thomas was robbed point blank period. I may live in Austin but I’m a Sooner born and bred so there is no favoritism going on here. Just like the previous award, the voters voted on this award before the season even started. What has Eric Berry done this year? I’m glad that Thomas and Berry play the same position of safety because if they were both corners they you could contend that one team didn’t throw at this guy or that guy enough. They are both playing center field making plays. Who made more plays? Eric Berry had 83 tackles, 2 picks and 2 forced fumbles. Earl Thomas had 66 tackles, 8 picks, and housed 2 of them. Berry simply won this year because he was screwed last year because Taylor Mays of USC won it. Earl was under the radar this year as well. Please don’t bring up the fact that Berry had more tackles, he was playing in the box more this year as an extra linebacker and to be honest when he was in coverage he wasn’t making good plays on the ball and all he could do was tackle the receiver/tight end that made the catch in front of him. Bottom line, Thomas was robbed.
I don’t care if Berry won the award, I’m gonna show Earl Thomas highlights….
Lou Groza Award(Best Kicker) – Kai Forbath, UCLA kicker
You know good and damn well I don’t care about this award.
Ray Guy Award(Best Punter) – Drew Butler, Georgia punter
If I don’t care about the kicker award what makes you think I care about the punter award.
That’s All I Got,
Ricky Writer
