There's more to the Mackey Award (and the TE position) than just catching passes!
O'Leary had a better year than ASJ as well in this regard (by quite a bit) so that clearly must have been behind their reasoning.
There's also more to making the All Big XII team and All American team than just catching passes.
Nah, ASJ was a monster blocker for us this year. Sankey got a lot of yards behind him.
Nonsense, you don't get stats for blocking, and making those teams is half stats and half name recognition. Amaro is closer to a WR than a TE.
Nebraska had 2 1/2 Championships, because of that pesky Michigan and that Rose Bowl of theirs, and 2 years of those 3, played the #3 team, not the #2 team (at least the BCS came along and forced the B1G/PAC teams out of the Rose Bowl lock, and made them played ball with the rest of us)
So I guess the Mackey committee alone knows the truth that every other committee for the All American and All Conference awards he's won as a TE since high school doesn't?
My problem isn't with ASJ, it's with the Mackey committee. Their criteria is archaic and their members are sticking their head in the sand as to the changing nature of the TE position. Amaro was a fantastic blocker this year but because his hand isn't on the ground when the ball is snapped they essentially disqualify him completely.
Don't care to keep going round and round on this again, though.

One of the Longhorns players seems to be bitter over his 2nd team selection

Probably looking at Tony Brown. Texas and Alabama are both fighting for him. Same team Saban!

Mack probably used Marquise Goodwin in his pitch for anyone wanting to dual Football/Track
THIS IS HUGE FUCKING NEWS. NICK SABAN BOUGHT A SECOND SUIT. I thought he only had that taupeish-gray suit.
Yeah, I definitely look down on Nebraska (#2 in the polls) now after realizing they drubbed #3 Tennessee (who won the title the next year) with Payton Manning at the helm while Michigan barely squeaked by #8 Washington State and Ryan Leaf. For shame Huskers, how dare we refer to that stretch as "Great."
Did you copy paste that from a Rivals/Scout forum Lonestar?
Went to Gus's last night. Fantastic suggestion! I'm trying to decide between Las Delicias and Hog and Hominy for tonight.
no, I looked to see that the final AP poll voted for Michigan #1, and as I've never had an AP vote, I couldn't have done anything to change it.
Also, Nick Saban doesn't have 4 titles. He has 3.5 titles, cause hey, USC had a Two Pete*.
and Peyton Manning never won a College Title.

What's his face from that 9.95 site was on SVP & Russillo and was trotting out names like Urban Meyer, Jim Harbaugh, Mike Tomlin, among others. Good luck with that, Texas.
That's when you should have called in and suggested Paul Johnson as a possibility.

Lines were busy. :/
Well, we had our Pearl Harbour back in 2007, was this 9/11?
Or did we already have our 9/11? Or did they happen on the same day. Is this 9/11 x 100?

Northrop Grumman is giving bowl participants PS4s? Did stinger missiles violate the NCAA bylaws or something?

Flights to Arizona are getting ludicrous. Spiking upwards everyday. Won't spend less than at least 6-700 flying out of Orlando now. Have to finalize a few things before I can book and will now for sure have to resort to trying to fly out of Tampa, Ft Lauderdale or Jacksonville.
The logistics of this trip are a nightmare.... Seems a lot of people have accepted going. But they're getting stuck on the logistical issues.

I honestly don't think coaches leave the pros for college because they are scared of a challenge, that was my issue with the original comment. Each job has its own unique circumstances, each level has their royalties, their moribund proletariat and some exceptions that are able to buck the trend. I think if you are scared of a challenge, you are probably a shitty coach and will be managing a fast foot restaurant before long.
I think the difference between an NFL coach and a college coach is control, and sharing power. Its a must on the pro level, but on the college level, the buck stops with the head coach.
Duke football has historical ties to Alabama. C'mon Saban. When Cut retires, step up and show K who the man is
it will still be K BTW

I'm not sure they'll have to dip down the list far enough to settle for Belichick, because I don't think Kiffins says no.

Matt McConaughey? Said no. Texas wouldn't let him coach with his shirt off.
He should totally hold out for FSU.

PS4 truly winning the console wars, they're the only one on the list
Those rabid Sony fanboys. I can barely contain my rage that burns with the white hot intensity of a thousand suns.
Or something.
Actually, nevermind, I think that's just heartburn from tonight's pizza.

Seriously? If that doesn't scream publicity stunt, I don't know what does.

I love this honest quote from your 2013 THE Home Depot Coach of the Year, Gustav Malzahn III:
"I don't know if I've ever had a team come as far as we have," Malzahn said after the Tigers officially received their BCS invitation. "The very first game, we were an average-at-best team. We were a work in progress probably the first half of the season."
It really is like watching a completely different team. Earlier in the season, there was much more variety but much worse execution. They threw the ball more often, played more guys, and tried more gimmicks. As the season went on, Malzahn honed in on what worked and just executed the hell out of it. Reminds me of 2010, which also had a slow start and a very strong finish.

The source of the quote is from "the family", which is pretty nebulous. It won't be hard for her to throw some pretty sound punches at the police and state attorneys for their actions, even if they say nothing about Winston

Amaro is basically a TE in name only like Jimmy Graham.
