The Harmie Award was created in the spirit of our favorite 1970's Quarterback turned teacher and anti-terrorism crime-fighter, Mark Harmon. We will be doling out awards each week for those players, coaches, and commentators that exhibit not only exciting plays and decisions on the football field, but also a general take-no-prisoners life outlook. In essence, the kind of brash white-knuckled leadership that simply makes me want to grab a cold one and watch you go to work.
You deserve recognition, and this, friends, is that.
Coaching Harmie: As
Cohron mentioned yesterday, things are not good in Boulder. To me, if Dan Hawkins is your Ari Haswari, then this week, your Leroy Jethro Gibbs is none other than Toledo head coach (pause while Grubby looks up Toledo coach's name)...
Tim Beckman. While this game may prove to be only one more swipe at the oh-so-thin string tying Hawkins to Buffalo Athletics, for one night anyway, it cost me a TPS point. But no money.
I also find it interesting that the game was played in The Glass Bowl and the Toledo program is being investigated for cheating. In a Glass Bowl? Come on Rockets. Ironnnyyyy.... Here's your Harmie, Tim.
More pursed lips and glares after the jump.
Take No Prisoners Harmie: Tate Forcier. I see your NFL head coach, heralded quarterback, Lou-Holtz-National-Championship prediction and game lead with 2 minutes left, and raise you one... Whoa! What the hell? Where the hell did #5 go?
Forcier after the game had this to say, "BWAHAHAHAHA."
Here's your Harmie.
Media Harmie AND MHP (MostHarmon-like Player): Extra P. Not only did our good Blogfrica buddy, and 3-time fellow Tailgate Pickem Scramble participant, head to Knoxville to cover the game for ESPN... and call us to find out where to eat... and drink... and wander aimlessly... and get sideline passes. No, friends, not only that, but he took this very picture from a few scant feet away for yours truly. And sent it over on Monday as "something to cheer you up."
What a hell of a guy. Click to see in full screen glory.
Here's your Harmie, my good man.
See ya next week, team.
