What in the name in Jim Thorpe is going on? Here's another example of why we dislike awards. Northwestern linebacker Tim McGarigle has just been named the Bronko Nagurski national defensive player of the week. OK, he did have 25 tackles against Wisconsin, one shy of the NCAA single-game record, but his team gave up 48 points! And while we're on the case, the Big Ten has put its foot down, saying no more postgame taunting of an opponent. This after Minnesota running back Laurence Maroney tried to plant a huge Minnesota flag in the FieldTurf at Michigan Stadium. That's FieldTurf, as in the carpet stuff, not natural grass. No wonder it didn't stick.
