Croom garners another award

By Brad Locke

One week after being names Rivals.com coach of the year, Sylvester Croom received the same recognition from the American Football Coaches Association Tuesday morning for its Region 2 area.

The Waco, Texas, based AFCA recognizes five regional Coach of the Year winners in each of the Association’s five divisions. Croom joins Rich Rodriguez of West Virginia and Jeff Jagodzinski of Boston College (Region 1), Illinois’ Ron Zook (Region 3), Kansas’ Mark Mangino (Region 4) and Air Force’s Troy Calhoun (Region 5) as regional Football Bowl Subdivision winners.

The AFCA will announce its 2007 National Coach of the Year winners at the 2008 AFCA convention in Anaheim, Calif.

Later today, the SEC will announce its awards.

    I dunno know about that……my guess is Kansas’ coach will get it. It might depend on which teams win their bowl games.

    I meant SEC, not the overaall coach-of course I want CC to win the big one too, but i was just talking about the SEC award

    Gregg, do you know what time today the SEC is going to announce their awards?

  5. Gregg Ellis Says:

    bulldoggirl, I was told by the league office around 2 p.m. Could be a little before and could be a little later.

  6. bulldoggirl Says:

    Thanks, Gregg!

  7. Gregg Ellis Says:

    Hey, bulldoggirl, question. Is your household going to Mempis or Atlanta or both? Or, neither?

  8. bulldoggirl Says:

    My dad, 2 brothers, and I are going to Memphis. Mom is keeping my kids. They’re 3 and 6 months ( not about to take them). My husband is trying to get someone to go with him to Atlanta ( I can’t afford to go to both), but if he can’t find anyone, he’ll go to Memphis, too.
