The entire goddamn Ohio State offensive line should have gotten that. So good at holding, nobody even called it!

JD deserves the Thorpe to cap off his incredible career. And Moores for the Mortell Award!!!

Watson gets back to back O'Brien awards, consolation prize for losing the Heisman to Jackson IMO.

For some reason this is making my blood pressure boil. We have FOUR guys eligible for awards in Atlanta and are not in the playoff!

I have this on mute as I'm doing other things, but it appears the program is a promotion for the college football playoff. Yes?

Butt, Lewis, & Peppers named 1st Team Walter Camp All-Americans. I think Lewis and Peppers are going to be consensus 1st Team All-Americans. Butt is close (he was named 2nd team TSN All-America today).

JUST IN: Three Wolverines earn @WalterCampFF First Team All-America honors!!!

Congrats, guys! #GoBlue pic.twitter.com/3Y7bnPuDxJ

To get a little frantic with losing all of our great players. Were not going to stink next year, are we??? Not like a spartan collapse?

What is the point of having a show if they announce some of the winners days before? That is extremely stupid.

Really sucks for Jourdan as I think he had a better season than the other 2 finalists.

Adoree had that huge final game against ND that may have given him a final push.

OK, I think I am done watching this show now. At least, they didn't make me wait to see the awards I needed to see.

Adoree is an unbelievable talent. So impactful all around. Just not sure about winning an award for best defensive back play... Oh well, I'm turning this off now too!

Lewis was punished for QB's being scared to throw his way. Sorry Jim Thorpe voters but you can't just look at stats to see how good a DB is.

Saban could not have cared less about that painting thing. It was cool though. I figured spurrier about half way through. It was the lips or something.

With Watson winning the O'Brien over Jackson it got me thinking, any chance Jackson/Watson and Westbrook/Mayfield split their regional votes and Peppers sneaks out a Heisman this Saturday?
