[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Not one Patriot League guy on first or second team. I can't remember the last time that happened.

Unusual but, perhaps, not unwarranted. About the only PLer who comes to mind as maybe, just maybe, meriting consideration for this list would be DL Royce Morgan of Lehigh.

Royce Morgan and Mike Saint Germain of Lafayette are on the honorable mention team.

[colgate13]

Good god, just how loaded is Cal Poly again?

[*****]

Good god, just how loaded is Cal Poly again?:confused: They only had three players named.

[colgate13]

:confused: They only had three players named.

Two first team defense and a second team defense stood out to me for some reason...:confused:

ASU has 4 and UNH has 3. I thought it was impressive I guess!

[slostang]

:confused: They only had three players named.
They had four. DT Chris White and CB Courtney Brown are on the first team. LB Kyle Shotwell made the second team and RB James Noble is Honorable Mention.

[*****]

HM don't count. :)

[slostang]

My bad.

Cal Poly has another defensive player who could have easily made preseason team. FS Kenny Chicione made TSN's 2004 post season 2nd team defense after recording 7 INTs and 74 tackles as a sophmore. Last season he missed a couple of games and played sparingly in a couple of others after suffering a concussion and still finished the season with 5 INT's and 70 tackles. Kenny also recorded 59 tackles and 3 INT's his freshman year in 2003. I believe he is the top returning I-AA player in INTs with 15.

[UNHcats]

Where's FS Jeff Pammer 6-1 215 or OL Tucker Peterson 6-3 310?? Both all conference selections last year and Pammer was an all american

[RabidRabbit]

Good god, just how loaded is Cal Poly again?

Yep, this GWFC participant would like to see our most eligible school bring the NC to the GW.:thumbsup:

Need to go through Griz home and FargoDome to qualify though :bawling:

[Pard4Life]

NEC teams such as Albany are still considered mid-majors despite having schollies?

[MYTAPPY]

6 players from App State were selected.

[UNH 40]

How is it possible that Lex Hilliard is not a first or second teamer? He is the best back in I-AA.

[UAalum72]

From the TSN article "The 21 programs of the MAAC, Northeast Conference and Pioneer Football League, which play at a non-scholarship or limited scholarship level, make up the I-AA Mid-Major ranks"

[bluehenbillk]

I haven't seen Cal Poly, but I'd cross my fingers their DL & LB on the list don't see a drop off in production now that Gocong is gone & they see much more attention. Just mentioning this because Delaware had that happen last year with Tom Parks, who became invisible after talented players around him graduated.

[OL FU]

Not one Patriot League guy on first or second team. I can't remember the last time that happened.

Don't sweat it. It is a team game. Furman's got one on the list and we (AGS) think FU is #5 in the country.

[cosmo here]

Just wondering if anybody has the complete list of Honorable Mentions . .

Just wondering if anybody has the complete list of Honorable Mentions . .No HM for mid-majors.

[SO ILLmatic]

That's questionable and arguable....

[DUPFLFan]

No HM for mid-majors.

Matt probably figures that the mid majors have their own all-american team, why mention them again...:confused:

Or, that there are 28 players from 21 teams in the Mid-Major All-America list, and 72 players from 99 teams in the other . . ?

[DUPFLFan]

Cosmo - to me there are at least one or two players who could be on the 1-aa squad - even if it is honorable mention.

Phaydavong is one of them...

Oh, I thought you were disappointed there was no honorable mention All-America team for mid-majors . .

We in the Patriot League are disappointed that there are only two players on the All-America list (OT Saint Germain of Lafayette and DE Morgan of Lehigh), both honorable mention. The honorable mention is in the sense that it's a third team, not that there are a number of players listed at each position that are deserving of recognition. By the way, Phaydavong was listed as the No. 15 RB in I-AA by Dougherty, so he's been mentioned previously.
