Pedro Guerrero Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 The group of guards was narrowed down to Consensus All Americans and Award Winners because if you just listed all the good ones the list would go on forever. I figured that if a guy made every All American team for a certain year that trumps anything else. Same rules if you don’t see you guy check other and enter him in. This is the first of 2 for the guard spot. Link to comment

redout22 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Voted for Will Shields Link to comment
Enhance Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Voted for Will Shields Same. I wonder how many of these polls come down to name recognition? Obviously, the better players get their names thrown around more often, but for only being 19 years of age I honestly don't recognize half of those names. I'm disadvantaged =/ Link to comment
Street Novelist Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 went with Steinkuhler Link to comment
default_28 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I think that Zach Weigert should be listed, I guess I didn't realize that Stai got so many more accolades than Weigert did. Link to comment

huskerfan500 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Best NU career- Steinkuler Best overall career- Shields Best Name- Toniu Fonoti with second place being Stai I voted Steinkuler because it is the All-Time NU team Link to comment
cb1954 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I voted other, reason being I think Bob Brown should be listed. He is one of only 2 Huskers to have his # permanently retired (other being Tom Novak). He was also a unanimous All-American in 1963 (according to his bio) He was named college football’s Lineman of the Year in 1963 by the Washington, D.C. Touchdown Club (maybe not a major award, but he was picked by them) Although I don't think what a player did as a pro should be the big reason he is selected for the All Time Husker team, here are some of his pro accomplishments. In his 10 professional seasons, Brown earned six trips to the Pro Bowl and was named first-team All-NFL seven times. He was named to the NFL's All-Decade team during the 1960s, and was named the NFL/NFC Offensive Lineman of the Year three times. Brown was selected by the Philadelphia Eagles with the No. 2 overall pick in the first round of the 1964 NFL Draft Once broke a goalpost with his forearm. I know he probably won't be picked by many as most fans are to young to remember him. But he was picked on more NU All Century Teams than all the others except maybe Shields, and I think he should be remembered. Brown Bio Link to comment
Pedro Guerrero Posted February 10, 2009 Author Share Posted February 10, 2009 I voted other, reason being I think Bob Brown should be listed. This was a complete fumble on my part. He should have been listed and for some reason I totally forgot him. That one is one me. Thanks for pointing that out. Link to comment
gamecocks Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I voted for Sheilds however, there are a lot of names on that list that warrant my vote as well. Link to comment
hskrpwr13 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Went with Steinkuhler. Aaron Graham should probably be listed. Aaron Graham played center. Duh! Thanks for the correction. Link to comment
VA Husker Fan Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 My "other" vote is for Brown. Link to comment
