Marcus All-Conference???
The Griffin name must carry alot of weight..

i don't understand why they do this at all...

which is compounded by the fact that the media members have no idea what they're doing anyway.  marcus griffin is 1st team all conference?

he's being challenged for his starting job by a bunch of freshmen and sophomores; he's probably not even the best safety on his team.  they realize that he's not michael, right?  do they feel obligated to pick a certain number of Texas players on defense?

Ditto

I had the same thoughts, plus a big WTF?

Goodson...

and Charles? What does that say about the state of the Big 12 running games?

There is only one kind of dance: the Robot. And the Robo Boogie. Oh, yes. Two kinds of dances.

I agree, but I think it is the same in every...

conference this season.

Does anyone know the injury status of Goodson?

That is because

they are all playing for USC.

preseason lists?

I don't know, maybe you lawyer-types can help me out, but this whole notion of preseason all-whatever lists seems kind of, um, "speculative."

It's sort of like a belated postseason list, minus the players who graduated or have no more eligibility.

yes

but it is content they're creating, isn't it. Even if it's bad content.

Pretty bland list. Actually, if there were much more thought put into it it'd rise up to bland.

Colorado

CU gets 1 on the list, eat that Tech and Baylor.

Texas dominance
As usual, Texas dominated, 3 more than the next school, whatever that's suppose to mean.  It'll be interesting at least to compare against the post season all-Big 12 list.

additionally

In a more general sense, Texas really dominated.  That list of hometowns is weighted heavily in favor of this great state!

I love

The amount of players FROM Texas as compared to everywhere else on the big 12 all conference

41-38

by inVINCEable on Jul 21, 2007 12:17 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

a few changes

I'd put Kirk Elder at OG and someone else at center; I think Cody Wallace is good, but not even the best lineman on his own team, much less the Big 12.
I'd also put Yemi Babaloa at LT ahead of Hills, who I believe is an underachiever.

Anyone else notice the defense is 12 players? Maybe Griffin was supposed to be second-team, or was tied with one of the other vote getters?
