The Real Pac 12 Awards

Mar 13, 2013 -- 10:31pm

The Pac 12 hardware has been handed out and literally everyone in the conference made the All Pac 12 First Team. But, there were still a few awards I felt needed to be handed out before the season was complete.

Pac 12 All Name Team

Shabazz Muhammad, UCLA. You can’t have this name and sling insurance for a living.

Jahii Carson, ASU. Such a rare gift to be able to pull off the double ‘i’.

Bak Bak, Cal. Odds are, once you read his name, you repeated it several times and giggled to yourself.

Andrew Andrews, Washington.  Kind of a jerk move by his parents.

Beau Gamble, ColoradoSounds like he could star in his own CBS drama.

Pac 12 Coach Who Most Resembles a High School Math Teacher

One of the most closely contested awards this season in the Pac 12.

Arizona State’s Herb Sendek was long considered the front runner for this award only to have Washington State’s Ken Bone not only resemble a teacher in high school that would check your graphing calculator before every test, Bone actually assembled an entire coaching staff of what I believe are actual high school and maybe even middle school math and science teachers. Not to be out done by Bone and Sendek, Oregon's Dana Altman looks like he’d be much more comfortable grading papers than breaking down film of opponents. Finally, USC's interim coach Bob Cantu emerged late, separating himself from the group by appearing to be the kind of  “cool” high school math teacher that wore a loose fitting tie and occasionally let the class work on homework from other classes.

Winner: Dana Altman. And if he were a high school math teacher, he’d definitely wear the short sleeve button down shirt and tie combo.

Pac 12 Player Most Likely to Have Been in Early 90’s Sitcom

Arizona’s Nick Johnson may or may not have appeared in Saved By the Bell: The First Class. Oregon State’s Joe Burton may or may not have decided to pursue basketball to avoid being typecast as the funny, chubby kid and Utah’s Jason Washburn may or may not have been the bully in a very serious episode of Boy Meets World.

Winner: Arizona State’s Jonathan Gilling. Seriously, have you ever seen him and the kid from Step By Step in the same room? Throw some oversized red glasses on him and take a closer look at his birth certificate. Now.

Pac 12’s Goofiest Big Man Award

I won’t even attempt to waste your time with this one. He was a bigger lock for this award than Daniel Day Lewis was for Best Actor.

Winner: Brock Motum.

Lifetime Achievement Winner: Brock Motum

Daring to Ask the PED Question

If everyone is secretly suspicious of so many athletic achievements in the 21st century, why aren't we talking about it?

By Bill Simmons on

I made a deal with myself a long time ago: My column needed to capture the things I discuss with my friends. Last week, I realized that wasn't totally happening anymore. Something of a disconnect had emerged between my private conversations and the things I wrote for Grantland/ESPN. In essence, I had turned into two people. There's Sports Fan Me, and there's ESPN Me.
