The ESPYs


RunInRed

Recommended Posts





Best Male College Athlete

Jimmer Fredette, BYU basketball

Andy Miele, Miami-Ohio hockey

Cam Newton, Auburn football

Rob Pannell, Cornell lacrosse

Kemba Walker, Connecticut basketball

Page 2 prediction: Congrats to Miele and Pannell for making their way onto this difficult-to-crack list. But this one will go to a marquee sport, which leaves us Jimmer, Kemba and Cam. One might bet on a basketball vote-split, but there could be concerns about Newton's eligibility for this award (does he have to give it back if violations emerge years from now?). And although Walker had a great tourney run, you just can't match Jimmer-mania.

Found this. I didnt know whether to laugh at a bad joke, or at an idiot.

I hate to be a doubter but I do believe in the conspiracy (yep, got my tin foil hat on right now) against Auburn so I'm not holding my breath that AU will garner any ESPY's tonight. I will be happy if we do, just not expecting it.

Exactly. If the SEC athletic directors, who should know better, voted a Tennessee tennis player over Cam Newton and the SEC coaches, who do know better, voted Spurrier coach of the year over Chizik, I don't expect this affair to be any less crooked. To hell with 'em. The best revenge is winning, so I hope we keep on doing a bunch of winning.

Wait the UT tennis player isn't up for best male college athlete of the year?!?! :o

Even if we don't win any of the awards, I'm enjoying watching Auburn highlights all night! :) It makes my heart smile! 11.gif

But that's not saying that I would like to bring all of those awards home! rolleyes.gif

It's like any other popular vote thing. Market size matters. Add that to the People are Dumb factor, and we're not likely to end up with any of the awards.

I like the circle thing CGC talked about in his book. All the outsider's opinions don't matter and we can't control any of it.

I read about 60 pages of the book today, you could tell very early on he didn't care much for the media.

Glad I wasn't the only one that thought that was painfully obvious :big:

I would have thought that Cam Newton would have gotten male college athlete. I know the other guy was great at BYU, but he didn't take an 8-5 team and lead them to a National Championship.

In addition to the stupid decisions on who get the awards, the production of the show is horribly annoying. I couldn't watch more than 15 minutes. None of the jokes are funny and they go on and on forever. The music is pathetic and drowns out the highlights. The animations, when they announce the nominees, are horrible.

I have actually had to turn it off. Horrible show, boring, non funny jokes, still pissed at ESPN other reasons. Oh well, someone else will have to update us on the winners.

If the people in the SEC despise Auburn enough to vote Spurrier and some tennis player over Chizik and Cam, it's no surprise that the others would do the same. Exactly what I expected.

I watched "Sons of Guns" on the Discovery Channel. Pretty sure it had more reality than those awards.
