Alabama players shut out of awards

[JayBama_in_PCOLA]

The hate and vitriol is real. The most egregious thing is Will not getting the Lou Groza Award. This is worse than Tua not getting the Heisman in 2018. If I didn’t want Bama to win it all badly before (and I did), I REALLY want them to now.

 

[Tidelines]

Shame on them. It's about the player, not the university.

I saw the news about the Groza an hour or so again. Not surprised. I believe it is the Atlanta Touchdown Club or some such Atlanta club that gives that award. Maybe it will help fuel our guys.

This is some sort of retribution for trampling the tender feelings of those who think FSU should be in the playoffs............kinda like the crap in 66

the guy who won the Groza award isnt in the same zip code as Will

 

[TideEngineer08]

The three misses doomed him.

He didn’t miss a kick and 2020 and still didn’t win the award then. It is what it is.

Only award these guys truly care about it the one you lift over your head on January 8th in Houston, TX.

 

[B1GTide]

More fuel for the fire.

 

[JayBama_in_PCOLA]

Well, might get shut out of all Americans. We will have no unanimous selections this year.

Why?

 

[Cruloc]

Thank you to all the individual voters and committees that vote for these awards. You've given this team plenty of fuel.

LANK!!

The guy that won the Groza was 26 of 27 on FG’s and that’s highest made % of kickers with 20 or more made FG’s so it’s not really a conspiracy.

If Will makes all of his kicks he probably wins it.

It is what it is right.

He’s our GOAT Kicker and the All-Time NCAA points leader so I don’t really care about the Groza.

Nah, he made every single kick in 2020 and still didn't get it. He's now the all time leading scorer in college football history....and still doesn't get it.

No way he should miss out on it this year. A lot of these awards are pseudo career achievement awards....he should have won it.

If Jk can’t win the Ray Guy Award, not sure I’m that surprised about Will

I thought they would give it to him if for nothing else a career achievement but I was also worried they might not because of his 3 misses this year.

But the Groza is one of the most unpredictable awards and they seem to just have arbitrary reasons for giving it to people.

 

[bamaga]

So the FBS all time scoring leader has never won the highest award in His specialty. Makes sense to me.

 

[bamaga]

I think Caleb Downs wins the Shaun Alexander award.

 

[BamaInCummingGA]

The more they snub ( even if the snub is just perceived ) us and tell us we don't have anyone good enough, we don't belong, etc, the better.

 

[bama2112]

The trophy is awarded by a group out of Florida. " The Lou Groza Award is presented annually to the top college football placekicker in the United States by the Palm Beach County Sports Commission "

Need I say more.

 

[Tideflyer]

If Jk can’t win the Ray Guy Award, not sure I’m that surprised about Will

Amen to that one!

Our players have a higher bar to cross than other players because they wear crimson. Everyone expects perfection or near-perfection from Alabama players. If other players come close to them, it is a surprise and the other player gets the award. Same reason Coach Saban doesn't have 15 coach of the year awards.

The team is a victim of its own success. It's a byproduct of The Dynasty.
