Butkus Winner is...

WTF? Dizon with 68 more solo tackles,5 more tackles for loss.The east coast bias is becoming a joke.Another kick in the gut.
 
it's partly east coast, but it's mostly fannies in front of the TV's (selling advertising for market share/ratings) and thus population density which is much ****ing higher in the east/east of the mississippi and upper midwest/chicago than it is in any of Big XII country especially the Rocky Mountain region. sadly it starts to affect content as in what teams are the focus of ESPN's Gameday and apparently award type things.

Dizon had a great year, great career and will always be a great Buff. do i think he got screwed, yeah.

but like the Heisman it's not about the best player, but the most applicable player on the best team.

I had been checking throughout the night and my wife asked who I thought would win it, and I said Larenitis. I mean, regarless of stats, it's obvious that everyone in the coaching and media polls have a hard-on for OSU regardless of the conference and schedule they played, so it they put OSU in the NC game, why wouldn't they vote a OSU linebacker into the Butkus?

I just feel fortunate that Dizon was even a finalist, since I figured that they could of had 3 OSU linebackers competing for the award.:huh:
 
Laurinitis was a finalist last year and didn't win, so they gave it to him... Not to mention voters love OSU...
