Title: Big XII Awards
Post by: Albatross on November 30, 2010, 01:52:56 PM

D-Train only got 2nd Team All-Big XII....??  I am confused here, somebody please help!

DeMarco Murray
1053 yards w/ 14 TD's

Daniel Thomas
1495 yards w/ 16 TD's

Last time I checked: 1495 and 16 > 1053 and 14

Oh yeah and congrats to William Powell who got 1st team PR/KR!!

I think this goes along the same lines as if you are really good but your team sucks there is not chance to win the Heisman.  Not even close to the same award, but the principle holds true.

I still do not agree....if you earn it, then you should be awarded for it.  No matter if your team is not as good as the others!

Good to see that OSU pretty much covers the entire first team offense  ;D

I think Murray gets 1st team because they were looking at his receiving yards too.  He leads the league for RB's in that department.  If you add that in you are looking at:

Murray: 1588 yds, 19tds
Thomas: 1658 yds, 16tds

I think it could go to either back, but Thomas is obviously the only piece of KSU's offense

Yeah I saw the passing yards/TD but didn't want to put it on there so it would look more lopsided.  Thanks for ruining that for me T. Boone Pickens....ha
