Fingers crossed for Keelan tonight. I think he is deserving of the Payton Award since he was the top receiver in all of college football this year.

No word yet on who got the award. There are some great pics of Keelan at the banque with Hawk and Jerry Rice and with Chancellor May on Hawkins twitter page:

Looks like they're moving through the program and my bet is that the Payton Award is last.

Gotta keep the tension high for the grand finale!

I think you have mistaken Chancellor May with Jerry Rice...

@BlueGoldAg Now I see the one with May!

Award goes to the QB from Sam Houston State.

Well crap....

Jeremiah Brisco QB Sam Houston State wins for the second straight year. He is only the second player to be a repeat winner:

Is he that good?

5000 passing yards and 45 TDs seems pretty ok. 900 yds and 10 TDs better than the 2nd place QBs in those categories.

4600yds and 57 TDs last year. Ho hum. :lol:

Nine days til we learn if Doss returns?

Sure sounds like he is staying, but let’s hope he makes it official.

By the way, pretty cool that May was there. Can’t imagine many chancellors show up for events like this. No Blue, so maybe he took his place, but still I think that says a lot about his feelings about athletics. I was impressed when I saw him last Saturday at the Holy Names game, but this is even better

Doss tweeted last night that he wants the whole team to be in Frisco next year. Does sound like he is coming back.

Per Twitter, Blue was in Frisco as well.

I saw that...and then I looked at our schedule again.

Maybe Hawkins can find an unsigned pass rusher in Texas?

Dr. Blue in a picture in Texas.

I read comments from Doss somewhere that made it sound like coming back was nearly a done deal.

The more I see and hear from May, the happier I am with that choice.

Sure hope you guys are right and he comes back. He must have gotten some smart advice from a neutral party. If he does as well or better next year his stock will rise exponentially at the next level.
