Dear TheFan,

Bo Levi Mitchell > Chris Lum.

Your friend,

SE174.

[Winindy]

Bo Levi Mitchell > Chris Lum.

First thing I noticed too.

[AZGrizFan]

First thing I noticed:

Caleb McSurdy >>> L.J. Fort.

[lakesbison]

MWILL baby.. best defensive player in FCS only a sophomore!!


chris lum is horrible.

[DJH]

LJ Fort on 3rd team is an abomination.

[Strommer10]

LJ Fort on 3rd team is an abomination.

I laughed when I saw that.

[grizcountry420]

Where's all that Texas speed at

[AZGrizFan]

MWILL baby.. best defensive player in FCS only a sophomore!!


chris lum is horrible.

Yeah. No.

He couldn't even get MVFC Defensive Player of the Year.

[SDHornet]

Way for Hornet DE Zach Nash to end his career.

That game against ISU totally saved his season (statistically speaking).

[CatMom]

Where's all that Texas speed at

TXST and UTSA don't qualify so that leaves SAM, SFA and Lamar to get guys on the team.
SAM and SFA both have guys on there.


(I didn't recheck. I'm under the weather and everything is a PITA to do)

BTW - Mitchell is from TX, if you recall.

Nevermind, he didn't make the list.

Yeah...that tells you how much a fuck up it is not to have Fort on the first team....184 tackles...184 fucking tackles leads the nation and no one left playing is even close........and he gets 3rd team?

[UNHWildCats]

Matt Evans should have been 1st team.

[FargoBison]

Nice to see MWill get some respect, seems like most don't want to recognize an underclassman.

Also Fort not being first team was a joke.

The playoff game was probably still fresh in the minds of the voters and unfortunately it was a booty-whuppin' for the ages. Boothby made it so maybe they didn't want two 1st team defenders from a school that just got 48 dropped on them by the Griz......?

[houndawg]

Yeah. No.

Maybe a case 2nd team, hard to take Fort over the Montana kid though after the playoff "game".
