The 2005 Golden Gelt Awards

There are just so many awards in College Football today, and most are given by some big corporate entity. In addition, they are so serious! Therefore in normal Erik fashion I have created the “Golden Gelt” Awards. But these are some valuable awards for two reasons:

First, Gelt can be traced back to Syrian and Maccabee erea, which dates over 2,300 years ago. Therefore, these awards have a long standing tradition of deep meaning.

Second, there really aren’t any qualifications needed to earn a Golden Gelt award. The awards are purely based upon any witty commentary that I could create.

So, enjoy the 2005 Edition of the Golden Gelt awards:
