I thought for the fifth and for now, final edition of P-'Tudes "Story Time," I'd reflect upon some of the behind-the-scenes experiences of taking some of our players to award shows.
I hadn't been to any award ceremonies in my first six seasons as S.I.D, as they were really starting to become more of an event starting in the early 1990s. The Heisman weekend in December and the Walter Camp All-America weekend stood by themselves for a long time, eventually joined by a handful of other events. As awards multiplied in number, other trips popped up including the College Football Awards Show on ESPN, which recently absorbed many of those into one huge event at the College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta.
