The Pam Ward Chronicles are here for Week 3 and the major story of the young college football season is the dominance of Pam Ward. She’s taken the win in the first two weeks of the Pammies. Can anyone stop her from reclaiming her rightful throne? This week, PamHawk is in Chapel Hill for Virginia @ UNC at 3:30 ET on ESPNU. All eyes will be on tonight’s games between Ohio State and Miami and the huge clash between #1 Oklahoma and #5 Florida State. We will update the Pammies as we can with your comments in the open thread and Tweets to us at AA throughout the day. Use the hashtag #PWAA to send in submissions via Twitter or leave a comment below. The nominees will come Monday for you to vote on and the winners will be announced on Wednesday. You can check out the winners from last week and the full Week 3 announcing schedule below. Here’s a few quotes from that bastion of freedom Craig James to get us started.
