It's the Academy Awards of college football without the frilly dresses, eye-popping jewelry, Jimmy Choo shoes and politically-slanted speeches. It's a statement, without BS.

Tailgating in Baton Rouge would never include McDonald's hamburgers on the menu, Uga will never don a polka dot bikini on game day, and ...Published on: 22nd October, 2009
Grab some popcorn and hide the kids. It's time for the midseason Stella Awards. Because we know you can't wait til the end of the year. Because we know there's another month and a half left for more shenanigans. Because we all need to scream, "Stella" after handing out these ...
