The watch list calendar
This should help take some of the drama ("drama") out of the preseason watch lists.
Here's a calendar for the release of the watch list for every major CFB award out there. (I don't think this includes that new Pony Express thingie, which is for what, taking money?)
Plus, it gives me a reason to run these photos.

Sadly, we don't have a Dallas Clark/Mackey Award picture, so the TD catch against Purdue in 2002 will have to suffice. (Pretty good haul of metal during the Kirk Ferentz era, BTW.)
And, yes, I blanked on the 2002 Davey O'Brien winner. You know him better as Brad Banks.
