Los Angeles, CA |
Each July, the elite from the world of sports and entertainment come together to celebrate the best in sports. The ESPY Awards
honor those individuals that through wins and losses continue to strive to be the best. This exciting event honors the top athletes
from many sports, spotlights the most inspiring individuals involved with the games we love to watch, and relives the most unforgettable plays.
Once again, The University of Texas is well represented in the nominations for the upcoming 2006 ESPY Awards,
the ESPN based awards show which recognizes the year's best performances, best moments and stories from the past year in
sports.
Cat Osterman, named National Softball Player of the Year again by USA Softball and the Honda Award National Softball
Player of the Year as well, was last year's ESPY award winner as "Best College Female Athlete". Osterman is up for that same
honor once again, while quarterback Vince Young was nominated in three individual categories and the Longhorns football
squad was nominated for "Best Team" and "Best Game". The ESPYs is the only awards show that combines athletic excellence
with star power and this year's lineup is truly stellar.
