Andrew Jiminez is a college football an American hero after winning the Dr Pepper Tuition Giveaway without using the chest pass during halftime of the SEC Championship on Saturday. Any program that is seeking a quarterback in the transfer portal might want to give him a look.
His form was perfect!
For those who are somehow still unfamiliar at this point, the Dr Pepper Tuition Toss is a fabled event that takes place during halftime conference championship games. The concept is very simple.
Two students from different, completely random school compete against each other to try and throw as many footballs as possible through a small opening from five yards away within 30 seconds. The winner gets $100,000 in tuition money.
If that doesn’t sound serious enough, all five referees involved are real life officials. They are not actors. They are not people grabbed out of the stands.
All five officials are flown in by Dr Pepper to ensure the competition is executed properly.
Dr Pepper needs to ban the chest pass.
As the years have gone by, competitors have tried to find the most efficient form. Most of them turned to the chest pass years ago. They throw push the ball at the hole with two hands. It’s super lame.
Enter Andrew Jiminez, a student at Sandhills Community College in North Carolina and a Dr Pepper Tuition Toss legend. He stepped up to the line during the SEC Championship on Saturday and looked like Peyton Manning in his prime.
His opponent went with the chest pass. Not Jiminez!
He proceeded to set the all-time Dr Pepper Tuition Toss record with traditional quarterback form.
There have been long been calls for Dr Pepper to ban the chest pass among college football fans.
Perhaps Jiminez’s performance will finally get that done?
