Cowboy Fans Vote For Bowman
October 15, 2006 | Cowboy Football
Bowman is one of four nominees announced for week seven. Indiana quarterback Kellen Lewis, Texas quarterback Colt McCoy, and West Virginia quarterback Pat White have also been selected by a panel of ESPN college football analysts as this week's top candidates based on their outstanding performances this weekend.
Fans can determine the winner by text messaging “VOTE” to “87654” on their wireless phone and casting their votes for the nominees.
Bowman caught 13 passes for 300 yards and four touchdowns in Oklahoma State's 42-32 victory over Kansas. His 300 yards receiving set OSU and Big 12 Conference records and was the 11th best single-game total in NCAA history. He had touchdown catches covering 64, 55, 54 and 25 yards.
Fans have until 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on Wednesday to submit their votes. The winner will be announced September 21 during ESPN's Thursday night college football game between Virginia and North Carolina. Fans can vote as many times as they like, with each vote counting as one entry into a sweepstakes to win a trip to the 2007 BCS National Championship game. The Cingular All-America Player of the Week program will continue throughout the season, with the nominees being revealed each Sunday on the 9 a.m. ESPN SportsCenter and on the Web at www.espnallamerica.com.
In December, four finalists for the Cingular All-America Player of the Year award will be announced during a one-hour special on ABC Sports. Fans will then get a chance to say who the best player in the nation is by voting for the Cingular All-America Player of the Year up until the Bowl Championship Series. The selection process will culminate during the BCS National Championship game on FOX when the Cingular All-America Player of the Year will be presented.
