Awards
















The annual college football awards show is on.  St. Marcus has picked up two awards tonight with perhaps a third to come.

The Heisman is presented Sat. night.  Mariota won the Davey O'Brien Award given to the nation's best quarterback.

(Later: He also won the Maxwell and Camp awards, both given to the "best player" in college football.)

The show is pretty lame, rife with poor attempts at humor, ESPN self-love, and awkwardness.

I'd like to see an athlete turn down an award some day, say something like, "No thanks, send some money to a person who needs it instead."

Anyway, that's enough hype for me.

Congrats to Oregon and St. Marcus.

Go Ducks!
