My opinions about the sports world (which includes baseball, football, basketball, college football, college basketball, and anything else important that happens). Sports are always a good time.

Big East Season Awards

Big East Offensive Player of the Year
Michael Bush, Louisville RB- One could make a case for teammate Brian Brohm or South Florida RB Andre Hall but the numbers that Bush put up were simply amazing.  He scored 24 touchdowns (8 more than the runner up) and led the league averaging almost 144 all-purpose yards per game.  His ability to find the end zone was nothing short of spectacular.

Big East Defensive Player of the Year
Elvis Dumervil, Louisville DE- No one in the Big East comes close to touching him.  Dumervil notched an incredible 20 sacks, had an astounding 23 tackles for a loss, and forced an eye-popping 10 fumbles (he led the league in all those categories of course).  Not only was his season one of the best individual performances in his conference but it was also one of the best in the country.

Big East MVP
Andre Hall, South Florida RB- He was the main reason why South Florida was able to compete in the Big East this year.  With major questions at QB he fueled what would have been a completely inept offense without him.  He led the league with 1528 all-purpose yards and 1256 rushing yards and he led South Florida to the Meineke Car Care Bowl a year after finishing 4-7 while in the Conference USA.
