Campus Chatter: Year End Award Nominations

Ok folks, before I get a bunch of emails asking why Vince Young isn’t on this list, the reason is that I essentially eliminated the bowl games from last season that were played in 2006 as 1 game doesn’t make someone worthy of an award. College basketball on the other hand, is a combination of last season and the season currently going on as half of both seasons took place in 2006.

Got all that? Voting ends January 22nd, so please be sure to email me your votes by then. When voting please include the award, letter of your choice and your choice. An email that consists of “A, B, C, A, etc…” will not count.
