    Prestigious award, no doubt. Does Putt have any chance for the Bednarik, Outland, or Nagurski awards?

    I think it's possible that Laron is winning on the strength of previous years. OU fans feel the same way about Ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuufus, who is a missed get for LSU in every sense of the word.

    McFadden should be a first team RB in addition to the all purpose specialist. :confused:

    Have to admit that surprised me. McDaddy should have made it besides just a specialist. Is the SEC really lacking stars this year? And on that note, which of these upcoming qb's will make first team in the future? Perriloux, Tebow, Mustain...the list goes on. Going to be some big name qb's playing over the next 3 years.

    You can bet SC will have a load of All Amercans next year. ESPN is already priming the Booty propaganda pump.
    I'm really proud the Tigers made the team. I hope it puts a damper on fans who have been claiming our talent is over rated.
