RCT Readers Choice Awards; Mr. Jayhawk

"RCT Readers Choice Award"

For our final award we've saved the best for last, the RCT Mr. Jayhawk Award.  Now this is the award of all awards.  If you are a football player at the University of Kansas you dream of one day recieving the RCT Mr. Jayhawk award. 

The way this one goes as many might guess is basically you're favorite player.  The player that best embodies what it means to be a Jayhawk, what it means to be a teamate, what it means to sacrifice and what it takes to win.  This is the one guy you wouldn't trade for anyone and I mean anyone.  Think long and hard here folks this one is important.  The winner of this one will likely go on to have great fame and fortune so don't take this one lightly.

I hope my sarcastic undertones are coming through regarding the significance of this one.  You might also find more nominees than you'd expect but keep in mind this is the winningest class in Kansas history so there are many who deserve the esteemed honor of being nominated.  As they say at the Oscars, "it's just an honor to be nominated among these greats."  Same rule applies here.  Also please look in awe at the larger more magnificent trophy for this one.

On to the Nominees for 2008 RCT Mr. Jayhawk...drumroll please...

As if there was ever even a question : )

Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.

I figured I wouldn't be alone...

although I was very close to going with Stuckey – surprised that he’s without a single vote.

Stuckey and Reesing will be the likely front runners for this one in 2009

I think this is a no brainer

the guy who switched positions and then went on to lead the team in receptions while still taking reps as backup QB. What a player and teammate.

truthfully...

I pretty much created the award for the guy so I’m glad the voting is reflecting that.

 Next year if we repeat this, something I intend to do, It might be a much tougher race with Reesing, Stuckey and Meier all Seniors and Briscoe potentially being in the All American discussion if he continues on his current path.
