The Outland presentation will come up the awards show tonight. Be prepared for gratuitous Holtz, Ara, and Kelly shots.

Dave Rimington is the only other player to win both awards. This is truly a great accomplishment by Barrett.

Congrats to Mr. Jones. He earned it. I'm sure everyone will be hearing his name for a long time. It's even better when great people win the awards they deserve. Again, congrats to Mr. Jones.

The reason the man wins at everything he does is because he doesn't do things to win accolades. He's only a center to get the best 5 linemen on the field...it wasn't out of vanity, it was out of selflessness.

He played guard for your 2009 championship team, tackle last year, and center this year. He could win 3 BCS championships while starting at three different positions on your offensive line. Hard to even imagine.

Congrats to Barrett. Hopefully he can bring in another Outland to go with it, but either way what a career.

The Remington is one I've been coveting for us for a while. We seemed to be snake bit on that one.

With all due respect, I don't see anywhere in my post where I implied, or said, he was selfish or narcissistic. I said he earned the award, was a great person, and very deserving. Moving from OT as an Outland winner, to center, is quite a feat in itself. Making the line calls, holding his own, and getting the line to play as one makes him one who earned, deserved, and showed greatness.

Again, with respect, I don't see where your post is coming from.
