DJR313 Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Is that Academic All Big XII? Quote Link to comment
ttheKid1*18 Posted November 28, 2006 Author Share Posted November 28, 2006 No, it's regualr All Big XII. Bo Ruud is second team All-Big XII too, as well as Shanle, which I don't understand at all. Quote Link to comment
HANC Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Hey, I love the Huskers.....more than most.... but my goodness....how the heck is Ruud 1st team all big 12... I just don't understand it..... ZT deserves this and everything that he will get, but Ruud can't tackle !!!!! Hell, no one on this defense can tackle...... Shanle being HM is a mockery of the whole system... I wish that Shanle played in the early 90's when I was at NU... It would have given me the incentive to walk on... Hell, I made better plays in the streets, after mid-night, in the rain, dodging cars, drunk, playing nerf football.... I can't wait for this kid to graduate !!!!!! BJax is 2nd team, which is deserving.... Moore is 2nd team.....Grix is HM, which is once again, laughable.... Bradley is HM..... Are you telling me that Thaddeus Washington from CU is HM and Ruud is 1st team..... I hate CU with a passion and love the Huskers, but this is a joke... Go Big Red. Quote Link to comment

gamecocks Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Congrats to all those players that got recognition. They all deserve it. Quote Link to comment
Eric the Red Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Biggest surprise has to be Dane Todd. League noticed his contributions Quote Link to comment
bethelbacker Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 While I am (pleasantly) surprised about Todd's inclusion on the team, I think the biggest surprise is that Shanle got on there. I dont know if it's a reward for being a senior or what, but wow is he horrible. Quote Link to comment
Pedro Guerrero Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 I'm suprised that Daniel is the 2nd team guy instead of McCoy. Also Freeman was the player of the week twice yet does even get Honorable Mention by the coaches. What does that mean? It is refreshing to see Huskers on the first two teams. That is the way it should be. Quote Link to comment

BIGREDFAN_in_OMAHA Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 I know there are some Ruud haters out there but his stats aren't horrible. He is fourth on the team with tackles at 60. (Bradley 67, Jones 62, Green 61). Yet he did lead the other LBs on the team in tackles for loss, sacks, and interceptions: 7 for 31 yds, 2.0 for 23 yds, and 2 for 54 yds respectively. I'm thinking the voters wanted to reward Nebraska at that position because there were numerous LBs in the conference that had more tackles than Ruud. I'm not a big Bo Ruud supporter and had to laugh when there was speculation voters thought they were voting for Barrett but his numbers did well to represent Nebraska. Quote Link to comment
