I, personally, feel this is a well-deserved award for Barnett. Sure, it doesn't mean much right now with the Big XII title game looming, but it is fairly important to Barnett, the CU players, and CU fans. He helped lead this team through its toughest off-season ever, and perhaps one of the toughest regular seasons in program history as well.

Barnett kept this team together in the face of the university president and the regents and everybody else who wanted him to be kicked out of town. Now, the Buffaloes are 7-4 and in the Big XII Championship Game. Congrats, Gary.
