University of Iowa NOMINATES Hawkeyes senior offensive lineman
Rob Bruggeman FOR COLLEGE FOOTBALL RUDY AWARD
LAS VEGAS, NV (December 9, 2008) – The University of Iowa nominated Hawkeyes senior offensive lineman Rob Bruggeman for the SECOND ANNUAL COLLEGE FOOTBALL RUDY AWARD, it was announced today by The Rudy Foundation 501(c)(3) charitable organization. The award honors student-athletes who demonstrate exemplary CHARACTER, COURAGE, CONTRIBUTION and COMMITMENT as members of their collegiate football teams. These same traits were immortalized in the blockbuster film “RUDY” in 27 seconds and against all odds on a gridiron in South Bend, Indiana, enabling Daniel “Rudy” Ruettiger to carve his name into college football lore.
We're really not making this up. It's cool to see our players in line for postseason accolades, especially in light of last season, but given that either A) Bruggeman wins a totally worthless award, or B) he loses it to someone else; we'd really prefer that it never existed in the first place.

what?
How can you hate Rudy? He saved Middle-earth from Sauron for Christ’s sake. I should expect better from you, OPS.
I’d fucking accept the shit out of that reward.

how about just accepting the award itself?
although maybe it’s an award that defecates solid gold – in which case, you might be right.

Snap!
What an insult?!? How would you like to be Bruggeman and find out you’re nominated for this? It’s like winning a fucking Daytime Emmy.
For shame.

Apparently last year's winner
… that is to say, the only winner ever, since this is only the second year… was a deaf walk-on linebacker on the Kentucky Wildcats.

Least he couldn’t hear what the fucking award was called. He probably thought it was a reward for achievement.

Frank Duong
I see Shonn’s friend, Purdue safety Frank Duong is also up for the award.
I think Bruggeman stands a chance of winning….
