Who needs awards anyway? Ok, the votes would have been nice, but waking up next to Paris Hilton would be too. But the fact of the matter is both would have left us out in the cold anyway. On the flip, one would have given us a venereal disease, your choice.

Chase Daniel was up for the Davey O'Brien award (Nations top QB) and also the Walter Camp award (MVP. Basically a weaker Heisman). The crazy thing about the D.O. award is it's basically made for Chase; undersized QB that had success. Damn. The O'Brien went to Tim Tebow and the Camp to Darren McFadden. Of course, all three, along with Colt Brennan, will be hanging in New York on Saturday for the Heisman.

In other award news, America's love affair with the overweight continues. Kansas won a pair of awards, and blimp Mangino was there to accept. kU won Coach of the Year and Breakthrough Team of the Year. In his acceptance speech, Mangino thanked his team, Ronald McDonald, and the kid in the drive-thru for the free supersize and the extra pickles on his Big Mac.

Also, props to Aaron Rennie at CFB Weekly. I recorded a segment on his podcast (posted at CFB Weekly now) about us getting screwed in the Orange Bowl, OU smoking us, and a little ditty on the Cotton Bowl. Also, the fellas at Dump Dorrell are rejoicing. Later Karl! It was nice to know you.
