THIRD TEAM SPECIAL TEAMS PLAYERS

Ellis Henderson, So., Montana

[Uncle Rico's Clan]

So, Ellis Henderson was second and third team return specialist?

looks like 1st and 3rd...curious picking

[tomq04]

might as well double post while i'm at it.

VA definitely deserved offensive player, both montana's have a pretty good defensive line up to have such good representation. We get quite a bit of flack for being a weak conference, but the top 6 teams are real contenders.

[darell1976]

Greg Hardin, its too bad the rest of the team sucked (including the coaching), hopefully with a new coaching staff next season we will see new players on the list (and more of them), as UND rebuilds into a contender.

[GoCats23]

I'm probably biased, but Daly wasn't unanimous first team? Considering he led all of college football, so far, in sacks and the FCS in TFLs, plus had more tackles than Schrebeis had last season, I'd think that'd scream first team big sky..

[Nickels]

Flopper of the Year
Cooper Kupp, Fr., Eastern Washington

I would agree. Daly should have been a unanimous pick. It's just how crazy voting is.

[Squealofthepig]

Freshman of the Year
Cooper Kupp, Fr., Eastern Washington

1st team Wide Receivers *Cooper Kupp, Fr., Eastern Washington

No offense to Adams, but Kupp was easily my favorite offensive player in the Big Sky this year. He definitely deserved Freshman and first team and I'm glad he was recognized.

[BCS Sucks]

Im just glad their were NAU players that received first team....otherwise we'd have another thread that could potentially implode AGS

[Red & Black]

Flopper of the Year
Cooper Kupp, Fr., Eastern Washington

Try again. This time with some class.

Coyle got jobbed.

[smallcollegefbfan]

Coyle got jobbed.

Coyle should have been ahead of Browning for sure. I didn't realize that until now. I thought Coyle was a top 3 LB in the Big Sky for sure.

Flopper of the Year
Cooper Kupp, Fr., Eastern Washington

[Texas]

That would imply he's actually good at flopping.

I think getting away with the most obvious flop merits recognition.

The only players that flopped in that game were the SHSU defenders as Kupp juked them out of their panties. xcoffeex

No reason Brock Coyle shouldn't have been first team.

And how does Alex Singleton (MSU) get honorable mention? He was the best OLB in the conference this year. I know the Big Sky all-conference voters usually don't pay attention, but this is pretty egregious.

Yeah, but you seem to have a problem with neutral fields.


At least EWU can win on neutral fields and beat NDSU... xcoffeex
