What the heck was that? I've lost more and more respect for TSN with that team then anything they've done in the past...

That's fantastic, but where's the complete list of all 78 players who are mentioned ? Clicking on the preseason All-American link brings up last year's listing.

thanks - i would think that providing a link on the page of the actual release would also point people in the right direction.

Figures that only our kicker gets recognized. Although Lance deserves the honors, Corey Roberts aught to be held up to a higher level. I;m not sure if TSN used last season's stats to create this list, I haven't heard of any writers coming through HuntsVegas.

Meanwhile, Noah Allen is a powder keg waiting to explode. Don't be surprised if he chalks up as many rushing yards as Godfrey. The kid can motor!

I thought they were about to link it. Guess they aren't so you have to click on the link on the left.

Sorry about that!

Huh? Both Marcus Mikulec and Corey Roberts represent SH in addition to Garner - MM on the 2nd team, and CR on the Honorable Mention team.

Would be more interesting to hear why you thinks it's bad, than that you do think it's bad.

[AgentOrange]

Yeah, I was aware of Mikulic. I must have misread something on Roberts. But I still believe that his improvement over the Spring has really raised an eyebrow.

Mickulec is up there and rightfully so. Roberts and Garner got what they deserve, considering Roberts was hidden behind everyone last year when the Kats were loaded at WR.

TSN really only has one major writer. I-AA.org has sent some guys through Huntsville and to see Kats before at other locales. Would love to see their writers around more, but we've not been the most consistent team in the nation. I mean, we're not Montana when it comes to winning year in and year out and we're surely not TxSt-SM, losing year in and year out.

Sorry, the 2nd team and HM had not been posted at that point. I was shocked to see some of the names on 1st team and then I saw the 2nd team/HM and was more relieved about it. Just didn't seem right as I felt some of the 2nd teamers should've been on first team and not seeing a 2nd team release made me question what was going on (especially with all those A10 guys).

except, of course, when it comes to playing us. ;)

[Josh]

Mr. C and Ralph are pretty quiet on this. They must agree totally!

[Josh]

I must agree totally with what?

With the teams, you two haven't chimed in yet. You must be busy lol.

Hey when is the I-AA.org team coming out?

[Josh]

This month. We don't want to step on Matt's toes and release them at the same time as his. There's plenty of room for all of them... Lindy's, S&S, Sports Network, I-AA.org, etc.

I was thinking around July 20th or so but was not sure! Thanks for the update my man!

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Suprised there wasn't one Patriot League player on the first team. I think they've had one representative on the list the last 4 or 5 five years.

[colgate13]

Conover (Bucknell) was our best preseason shot and they gave him second team. You can't win them all I guess!
