Sample & Pio @ Hornung Award tonight / Parker wins Schnellie

[Birdie King]

It was good to see James Sample and Pio Vatuvei supporting their old Washington teamate Shaq Thompson who was winner of the Paul Hornung Most Versatile College Player Award. I should have asked them why they didn't bring Shaq along with them. DeVante Parker was named winner of the Howard Schnellenberger Award given annually to MVP of the UL - UK game. Unfortunatly, DeVante was ot in attendance but his Mom did a good job in accepting. I guess you could also call it a proud night for the old Flaget Braves - Hornung, Schnellie, Louisville Sports Commission's Karl Schmitt and even count Mayor Greg Fisher as his daddy was also a Flageteer.
