‘Tis the season for giving out awards. I’m not keen on awards as I view them as disingenuous and self-congratulatory. However, I’ll jump on the bandwagon and pass out the Mission’s End-of-Year-Even-Though-There’s-A Lot-of-Football-to-Be-Played Awards.
1. Mark Ingram for being Alabama’s first Heisman winner, I guess. I am extremely anti-Heisman because the votes tend to be as real as a Prom Queen election. I can think of at least one other player I would have preferred to win it, but of the choices presented, I’m glad Ingram took it. If you disagree, think of it this way: nine out of ten times, the Heisman ends a player’s chance of future success.
2. Navy for beating Army. Again. As it should be.
3. All the new coaches for landing better assignments. Best of luck, even to Brian Kelly.
4. Lane Kiffin for finding the silver lining in being investigated by the SEC for recruiting violations. It’s a compliment, people.
5. One more trophy to be awarded at a later date to someone who actually impresses me.
