Good job by all the young men on all teams...

For my fu guys this is COACHIN:

Jacobs Award goes to furman center Schmidt who was all-conf preseason but now won award for best OL. Hendrix ?

Coach of year SoCon - Hendrix

furman placed 8 guys on all conf. (and 5 on freshman team which can't win all-conference). What I like is that preseason we had 4 all conference seelction. We Finish w 8 including guys, like Schumpert ( a brand new TE converted WR, and he won best TE!) That’s coaching - same guys. Better results

congrats to all guys on all teams ! Samford really does have a lot of talent

I think it's pretty close. What do people agree or disagree with here? I would hope coaches would know more than media (probably just stats w media) - sometimes I wonder though.. Not meaning pro-furman ..just in general.

that number counts the 5 on the all-freshman list. I like the Freshmn list but it inflates numbers some for young teams obviously. Of course, I don't think the freshman can be on anything but the freshman list anymore... they can't win a regular' all conference award. Which is a little odd. Freshman Jerome Felton? Best in conference. Freshman McKnight - all conference recvr already.. seems you could have a freshman list and allow the freak freshman to maybe make the full all-conference list (and not take a slot from the freshman list)?

Nothing precludes freshmen from being on the regular all conference teams.
