There were bodies everywhere! Lo, the carnage!

Bruce Pearl almost killed his players yesterday:
This was the hardest practice of the year. Practice is over, and I count one, two, three, four, five, six, seven bodies on the floor. I’d say that was a successful practice.
Other than that, though, it's still pretty quiet. Eric Berry and Robert Ayers have both been named to the All-SEC first team by the league's coaches. Woo for them.
Will at SouthEastern Sports Blog takes a look at the 2008 College Football Awards.
Lane Kiffin comes "home" this weekend to entertain five recruits on their official visits, including Rae Sykes, a local guy we awarded 10 jars last year but who failed to qualify and re-routed to community college. That should be fun. Here, let me show you around. Um, which way is the stadium again?

Okay, so I'm pissed off...

Who is a better players?

P1. Plays for tOSU (Sr.)
Season: 3 INT. 7 Yards. 0 TD. 32 Tackles, 22 Assists, 1 Sack.
Career: 11 INT. 159 Yards. 2 TD. 122 Tackles, 51 Assists, 1 Sack.

p2. Plays for UT (Sophmore)
Season: 7 INT. 265 Yards. 2 TD. 44 Tackes, 28 Assists, 3 Sack
Career: 12 INT. 487 Yards. 3 TD. 101 Tackes, 57 Assists, 3 Sack.

Really? Player 1? What sort of weird twisted voting system for the Jim Thorpe Award do we have? REALLY?!

Eric Berry had better seasonal stats in every major statistic. His defense was the 4th best in the nation statistically, and 4th best vs the pass. He set SEC + NCAA records this year. Yet somehow somehow the award went to player 1, Malcom Jenkins. WHAT logic is behind that, other than:

1) He plays for Ohio State
2) He is a Senior.

Puh-lease!!!
