2008 HWA Weekend

Last June, over 20 of college football’s greatest players got together for a little golf, a little story telling, and a lot of camaraderie at the inaugural Triton Heisman Winners Association (HWA) weekend in Austin, Texas.

The event, which took place at Austin’s posh Barton Creek Resort & Country Club, included a golf tournament and banquet, honoring the 50th anniversary of John David Crow’s Heisman winning season at Texas A&M and the 30th anniversary of Earl Campbell’s historic campaign at the University of Texas. The dinner was co-hosted by ESPN college football analyst Kirk Herbstreit.

Over 100 college football fans paid to play in the golf tournament and another 300 were on hand for the banquet, with a portion of the proceeds going to the HWA Foundation.

In all, 22 Heisman Winners were in attendance, making it the largest gathering of this select fraternity anywhere outside of New York. “It was a fantastic weekend,” said Archie Griffin, the only man to win the trophy twice. “We don’t get together that often, so when we do, it’s very special.”

This year’s Triton HWA Weekend will again be held at Austin’s Barton Creek. The event will take place June 26-28 and will honor the 50th anniversary of Pete Dawkins winning the award at Army, the 25th anniversary of Mike Rozier’s win at Nebraska, and the 10th anniversary of Ricky Williams’ historic season at Texas.
