To go along with the Oscars, Who's Now came up with our own set of pop culture awards related to the world of sports. And the awards go to....
You're My Boy Blue (Presented by Will Farrell)
Nominees:
Billy Gillispie - Billy Clyde's boy is undoubtedly Jodie Meeks. Without the Tubby Smith recruit, the Wildcats might not have a winning record.
Bob McKillop - The stern-faced New Yorker would only be a good coach rather than a great one without the son of sharpshooter Dell Curry. With McKillop's boy Steph sidelined after getting hurt against Furman, the Wildcats from North Carolina lost to the juggernaut that is becoming the Citadel Bulldogs.
Jeff Capel - Jeff's boy, Blake Griffin, will probably win player of the year over Curry, even though he shouldn't. Nevertheless, a loss at Texas with their star on the bench for most of the game proves boomer sooner and Capel would not make the Final Four without their boy.
The Blue Trophy goes to Billy Gillispie and his boy, Jodie Meeks.
No Air (Presented by Jordan Sparks)
Nominees:
Michigan - A loss to Iowa leaves John Beilein and company gasping for air inside the massive Big Ten Bubble.
Virginia Tech - A loss to Virginia coupled with a defeat at the hands of the Seminoles sent the Hokies searching for their floatation devices because they are once again desperately searching for air as they seek to keep their tournament chances afloat.
Gerogetown - The Hoyas missed a great opportunity to get some much needed fresh air against Marquette and will now walk around DC in a penetrating cloud of smog.
The Chris Brown Baseball Bat goes to Georgetown.
Crabcakes and Basketball
Nominee (and winner of crabcakes):
Maryland - Thanks to Grievous Vasquez, their tournament hopes are alive and well after a thrilling victory over North Carolina on Saturday.
Living the Dream (Presented by Michael Phelps and the Jonas Brothers)
Nominees:
Billy Donovan - With the Gators on the verge of missing the tournament for the second straight year, Donovan dreams of when when a freak group of players fooled people into thinking he was actually an elite coach.
Roger Clemens - Clemens perpetually lives in a dreamworld, continuing to believe he never took performance-enhancing drugs.
All PGA Tour Golfers Not Named Tiger Woods - Their dream ends Wednesday when the best golfer ever and new father of a son returns to take their cookies and eat them.
The Chocolate Dream Cake was supposed to go to Donovan, but Phelps got the munchies and ate it.
Best Cup of Coffee Award
Nominees:
Matt Kenseth - Apparently he won another NASCAR race so his cup of coffee must have been made quickly.
Phil Mickelson - Lefty's cup on Saturday was much better than the one Sunday, but he still had enough FAKE sugar to get a victory. However, his coffee won't taste as good starting Wednesday.
Rajon Rondo - Scored a career-high 32 points in the Celtics convincing victory over the Suns. Only wish Rondo had this same coffee when he played for the Cats...
The Golden Cup goes to Rondo.
It's My Party and I'll Cry If I Want To (Presented by any [every?] Duke player that whines)
Nominees:
Roy Williams - He just likes to cry.
Mike Krzyzewski - He must have a party at Cameron Indoor Stadium every time a referee is within a fifty mile radius of Durham. How else would the Blue Devils continue to get break after break after break? Even though they get more than their fair share of calls, Coach K seems to believe his players never foul, EVER. And when they fall down, they were obviously accosted.
The tissue goes to Krzyzewski as long as he doesn't attempt to pump up the crowd or kiss his players when presented with the award.
