I'm still looking around for SEC stats but I think you're right.

Finally, something to celebrate: ARRINGTON WINS BUTKUS AWARD AS TOP LINEBACKER (AP) - Penn State's LaVar Arrington won the Butkus Award on Friday night as college football's top linebacker. Arrington, a junior, beat out teammate Brandon Short, Kansas State's Mark Simoneau and Tennessee's Raynoch Thompson for the award presented by the Downtown Athletic Club of Orlando, Fla. "I wish I could spilt the award with them," Arrington said. "I don't think you could have a better list of finalists." The award was the second in as many days for Arrington. He won the Chuck Bednarik Award as the top defensive player Thursday. Arrington had 72 tackles, nine sacks and 20 tackles for a loss this season. He also blocked two kicks, including a field goal attempt with four seconds left in Penn State's 20-17 victory over Pittsburgh. The award is named for Dick Butkus, the former Illinois and Chicago Bears star.

New meaning to the term, "flipping the bird"? ALVAREZ'S SON GETS 10 DAYS IN JAIL FOR FRYING PARROT (AP) - The son of Wisconsin football coach Barry Alvarez will spend 10 days in jail after pleading no contest in Madison Friday to microwaving a fraternity brother's parrot. Chad Alvarez, 23, was charged with theft of a domestic animal and intentional mistreatment of an animal resulting in death. Under the conditions of a plea agreement, Alvarez will serve five years on probation. If he completes probation without further infractions, the felony charges will be reduced to misdemeanors. Alvarez faced a maximum fine of $20,000 and up to seven years in jail if convicted of both felony charges. The judge said Alvarez should not spend a long time behind bars because he has already suffered outside of the courtroom more than most similar defendants because of his father's position as a high-profile sports figure. I guess fraternity life hasn't changed much over the years. Gary
