Tommy West fired by Memphis

As you may have heard, Memphis has fired Tommy West as its head football coach. Don't worry, the award will remain the Tommy West Award.

What we would like to announce is that Tommy West has been granted an honorary lifetime achievement award for his contributions to the field of poor clock management. Congratulations Coach West!!!
