Rarely is there a moment that everyone watching hopes will never end.

Of course, there was Muhammad Ali lighting the torch at the 1996 Atlanta Games; there was Jack Nicklaus walking up 18 at Augusta in 2005 for the final time; there was the tiebreaker between Bjorn Borg and John McEnroe in 1980. Ali was moving, Nicklaus was cyclical, and Borg-McEnroe, well, you didn’t care who won, so long as the tiebreak went on forever.

I am not going to fuss about the BCS system determining a champion.  I am not going to pitch the best commercial in the world for a college football playoff.  Division 1A football, or FBS, is not going to go that route.  However, I do want to fuss about the love fest that is called Hawaii.  I really don’t care what Mark May, Lou Holtz, Kirk Herbstreit, and/or Lee Corso says about this football team deserving a BCS shot, the Warriors simply do not.  There are a lot of reasons to support the argument that they do belong in a BCS bowl game.  But look deeper and uncover the facts.

Instead of wasting print space writing a super introduction, I’m going to go straight into the first annual Geico Burton DeWitt College Football Awards presented by State Farm underwritten by Prudential. And trust me, these awards mean a lot.
