Pitta = Robbed

Plus, Pitta's team had twice as many losses as Hernandez's, and will make about 1/15 in bowl game payout.

Pitta will get revenge when he gets drafted and actually plays in the NFL, while Hernandez keeps his teammates' seats warm.

"That ticks me off. That's brutal," former BYU and NFL All-Pro tight end Chad Lewis said in reaction to Pitta not winning the Mackey Award. He added that Pitta is "absolutely deserving" to be on the Walter Camp All-America Team. "I sent Dennis a text (message) earlier today and told him, 'No matter what happens today, you are the best tight end in the country. Keep dominating. Good luck.' That was my message to him," Lewis said. Pitta did not participate in BYU's practice Thursday because he was in Las Vegas, attending a Las Vegas Bowl news conference along with coach Bronco Mendenhall. Pitta was not available for comment Thursday night.

I was seriously and emotionally into this injustice meted out to Dennis. Then...I watched the Unicorn Candy Mountain video and realized how trivial involvement in college football is. There are more important things out there, brethren, than mere football awards. The mesmerizing, riveting, spell-binding drama surrounding the question, "Will Charlie actually go into the cave on Candy Mountain?" far surpassed the drama of the Mackey award.

This is going to backfire on the BCS- year after year after year they find themselves making undeserving decisions, from awarkds to bowl games to their all encompassing system...
