Good for Josh. He's a great addition to the team.

PS - If Tebow wins, I'm gonna barf.

Yeah.... because he doesn't deserve it or anything...

Some people need to get over the whole FBS sucks thing. It's not his fault he makes good choices and gets a lot of credit for it.

In a nutshell... don't be jealous Big Al

Re: Mahoney Named as Finalist for Campbell Award (Academic Heisman)

No, he doesn't deserve it. He's holding down a 3.66gpa in Family, Youth and Community Sciences. Not exactly the most demanding curriculum for the brightest minds out there. Second, if you're going to give it to him because of his play on the field, then you missed the boat. This isn't exactly a stellar year for the kid on the gridiron.

He's overhyped and overexposed. This has nothing to do with FBS sucking because it doesn't. The bowl system is stupid but that has nothing to do with whether you're a good student-athlete or not.

He doesn't deserve it based on his 3.66 GPA? The award goes to "an individual as the absolute best in the country for his academic success, football performance and exemplary community leadership."

I would consider 7-0 record, a QB rating of 151.33, 1,159 passing yards and 8 TD's a pretty solid year.

I would venture to guess that on that list he has put it the MOST into community leadership.

And like I said, don't blame a kid if he is overhyped and overexposed... because he has no say in it. If Pat Grace had that kind of exposure you would probably be blowing your load

Something makes me think that there has been another UNI player as a finalist for this award recently. I'm not sure what year it was but maybe it was Sanders or Rinehart?

The press release said he is the first finalist for this award from UNI.

"He becomes the first-ever NFF National Scholar-Athlete from Northern Iowa."

I'm pretty sure James Lindgren was a finalist.

I'm pretty sure James Lindgren was a finalist.

I'm pretty sure he was too, but maybe he didn't make the cut to the final 16. Or maybe he was a finalist for a similar but different award.

Re: Mahoney Named as Finalist for Campbell Award (Academic Heisman)

Kind of neat to see two guys from Iowa schools as finalists (with neither of them being at the U. haha). Heck, a third guy goes to Augustana in Rock Island, which is practically in Iowa. ;op

Re: Mahoney Named as Finalist for Campbell Award (Academic Heisman)

ok why are we talking about Tebow on Panther Nation for one thing? Josh is our finalist who has a 4.0 in Econ and English. So this site and comments should only have GREAT things said by Josh and if it wasn't Lindgren it was Chad Rhinehart that was a finalist. Eric and Frenney were the only ones that really was close to winning the Payton Award.

Proud member of the PSC and Go Panthers!

Josh, please use the bye week to evaluate both the House and Senate health care reform packages, and let me know how it will affect my take home pay, ok?

Re: Mahoney Named as Finalist for Campbell Award (Academic Heisman)

I think they were semi-finalists, not finalists.

Chad Rinehart:

University of Northern Iowa senior offensive tackle Chad Rinehart (Boone, Iowa) is among the semifinalists for the 2007 Draddy Trophy - the equivalent of the academic Heisman.

One of college football's most sought after and competitive awards, the Draddy Trophy recognizes an individual as the absolute best in the country for his combined academic success, football performance and exemplary community leadership.
