First off, the sponsor of these awards is something called Nextiva. My original thought was that it’s the yogurt that makes Jamie Lee Curtis poop, which seemed apropos, but it might be a tech thing. Good job wasting your money, lady poop yogurt or techbros. Who is going to buy your product because they remembered Karl Dorrell was the Nextiva coach of the year?
The Colorado LB who led the conference in TFL with 14 (second was 10), finished fourth in sacks, chipped in an INT and 4 passes deflected was honorable mention. Two LBs who COMBINED for fewer TFL and solo tackles than him made first and second team.
The second team QB was Sam Noyer. He was 8th in the conference in passer rating, averaged 200 yards passing and 38 yards rushing, threw 6 TDs with 5 INTs. Solid 58% completion rate.
Second team kicker, Stanford’s Ricoh Printer-Scanner, was 7/11 on FGs - good for 64% and 11th in the conference.
A WR with 10 catches, 90 yards, 2 TDs and two lost fumbles made honorable mention. A TE with 80 yards and 1 TD was honorable mention. Oregon’s center was a truck bed magnet and still made second team. They should send a delegation to forfeit their prestigious award. It would be the honorable mention thing to do.
This conference sucks. Having coaches vote for this shit is stupid. Unless they make the votes public. Like the coaches poll, where Dabo voted Ohio State six spots lower than any other voter. And even then it’s stupid
Jesus. Does this guy just love getting raped or something?
After watching what that first team UCLA DT did to him... I have no choice but to think the answer is yes.
Not particularly relevant, but Oregon’s center is Elijah Molden’s high school teammate from West Linn. UCLA’s DT is from the part of outer southeast Portland where people from West Linn don’t really venture to unless they read a review for some new authentic pho restaurant they must try or are just looking to slum it up a bit.
Ya but ur forgetting Forsythe's dad died when he was in high school and the local media made it the story of a lifetime. He did a lil internship at 1080 and still gets hyped by them once a week. Its a weird situation.
Yeah, I remember the story about his dad dying and that was sad - but that’s what dads do. They die. That’s why having two hedges your bets.
Forsyth isn’t as bad as I make him out to be, which is pretty high praise coming from me. I think Oregon fans just underestimated what Lemieux and Hanson were- Lemieux has been a starter for the Giants most of the season after the vet got rona’d. He’s probably fitting in well in New York City, sat next to his mom one time while she was killing silver bullets. They seem like the type to make a smooth transition from Yakima. And now running up the middle isn’t as fruitful. <
Ah yes Yakima... I was there last night on a casino trip with my ese's. Place was slammed far beyond what I thought was allowed right now. $7 fish n chips was actually damn good. Left around midnight and saw a guy stealing hitches off trucks with a 12 pack of Modelo in tow. Also saw 6 guys trying to push a snow covered Subaru with 4 flat tires.
