"It is an outstanding honor to be chosen as a finalist for the Butkus Award," McClain said. "Dick Butkus was one of the greatest linebackers to every play the game, and to have my name mentioned along with his is an honor. But our season hasn't been about individual awards and I wouldn't be on this list without my teammates."

I heart 25.

McClain? I thought he was running for president. At least that's what Verne Lundquist said.

I think you have him confused with Oh Bama's McCain. :evil:

Someone posted a youtube here today with the last nine minutes of the game against Auburn. I must have missed it in the excitement but he blew the names of Maze and Demetrius GOOD... He needs to retire, glad I don't have to listen to him next Saturday and will be in the stands.

Has a sophomore ever won it?

Someone need to go up to Dick and slap him. And then tell him to just give the award to McClain. I would but I'm busy that day.

I think we all knew that it was a matter of time for this young man. Now, we will just have to see just how objective the voters will be to award this to someone not in the big 11..

No doubt Ro deserves the award hands down, but I would bet that the LB out of USC or the one from OSU gets the nod since they are seniors.

Awesome!

Great news for 'Ro, he's already something special to behold.

I believe this is the first year they've added a high school category. Nico and Tana are both finalists. We could have Butkus Award winners playing side by side next year.
