No Kennedy...no joke...2-time defensive player of the year...and unstopable...truly unstopable!

No Spencer

No Hall

Several glaring ommisions from you NT football team that used to own this league, and still has more titles than any other team!

We did place 5 players on this team

They must have read the board and learned that those titles/teams didn't really count. Jerks.

Yes, they corrected part of their obvious error. I believe Kennedy should definitely be defensive player of the decade, I guess they can't amend that. Sorry, but a player being all conference for three years and defensive player of the year once does not compare with Kennedy's four time all conference and twice POY year accolades. I think it is obvious they completely overlooked the best defensive player the league has ever had. Really sorry research on their part.

I'm sure Kennedy will gladly keep his 4 championship rings if it means Johnson is DPOD.

It's different.

Cobbs/Quinn/Kennedy/Buckles/Zuniga are on the list now. I wonder how Nick Bazaldua didn't make it to that list, though. NT won more than a few games because of his abilities.

Demarcus Ware might have something to say about that

Booger dominated the league more than Ware and for longer. FACT

revisiting some Booger highlights:

It is all opinion, but in my view, not only did Booger play 4 years to Ware's one; but he was a more dominating player than Ware was in at least three of his four years. I don't think everyone realize how great a defensive lineman has to be named a conference player of the year not once but twice. This honor is all most exclusively given to quarterback and running backs. There is no doubt Ware is a great pro player and had a great year in the Belt, but Kennedy was a better college player. Again, I think the staff that supposedly voted on this team, either forgot about Kennedy or has very questionable judgment. Picking Johnson above a two time player of the year that anchored a team that won the championship every year he played makes no sense.

Jamario led all of D1 in rushing, out-rushed Adrian Peterson when they were both freshmen and hung 200 yards on Colorado. I think he should have made the list too. :blink:

I think you have a good point. The sad thing about Jamario is that if his career had been in reverse, the leading rusher in the nation his senior year instead of as a freshman; he would have gotten a lot more accolades. I have no doubt he would have been hailed as the best back ever in the Belt and at NT if in his senior year he had rushed for over 180 yards a game even if he had the same career statistics. Finroy was a good hardworking back but he was never close to the magic of Thomas's freshman year. If it was not for Thomas's four carries against UT and an injury in the Baylor game, he would have averaged well over 200 yards a game.
