Gene Chizik was also named Home Depot Coach of the Year earlier this week I think.

when was the last time neither a Buckeye, Wolverine or Fighting Irish player were up for an individual award in the same year?

How long can Corso stay around? He really struggles to get his thoughts out of his mouth.

Ruffer the kicker was robbed. I guess being perfect for your career isn't good enough.



On a side note, Bailey's girlfriend/sister/whoever was sitting next to his dad was smoking.

It was tough watching Corso accept the football contributions award and give his speech. He got choked up a few times and Herbstreit had tears rolling down his face too. I'm thinking the last time we see Corso on Gameday will be for the NC game.

I know you weren't--I didn't mean my post to sound sarcastic, 'cause I was just asking as well...btw, was Eric Page there as the Walter Camp All American kick returner?

DaQuan is a great guy, and dedicated this season to his father who passed away days before the season started. Having had some classes with him, I can say he is a genuinely nice dude. He also plays guitar in a gospel band which he used to be in with his dad. Dude can shred a guitar. Well done man, sorry we couldn't have a good season for you. Barring the lockout, I expect and hope he leaves to make his millions. He deserves them.
