ladyhawke Posted November 29, 2011 Author Share Posted November 29, 2011 Rex made 1st team Offense!! Whooo Hooo!! Way to go Rex!! Brett Maher for Kicker! WHOO HOOO Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Mildly surprised. Not that Rex isn't deserving, but that they recognized his worth. Brett Maher was also named First Team All Big Ten. Awesome! Lavonte David: Butkus-Fitzgerald Linebacker of the Year and 1st-team All-Big Ten Mike Caputo and Spencer Long were voted by the coaches and media, respectively to the All Big Ten Second Team. Honorable Mention: Austin Cassidy, Will Compton, Ben Cotton, Marcel Jones, Cameron Meredith, Daimion Stafford It is not a surprise that Martinez wasn't among the top three at QB. Lots of talented QBs in this conference. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Two things - first, we are raking in some major props. Lavonte, Rex, Fonzie, Maher, all getting First Team and/or Player of the Year at their position. Second - they have GOT to get rid of the names of these awards. The sentiment is nice, but the names are atrocious. Case in point: Lavonte David: Butkus-Fitzgerald Linebacker of the Year and 1st-team All-Big Ten Alfonzo Dennard: Tatum-Woodson Defensive Back of the Year and 1st-team All-Big Ten Maher is also Bakken-Andersen Kicker of the Year and Eddleman-Fields Punter of the Year 1 Quote Link to comment

These 3 guys had amazing years. Definitely gonna miss David running around making plays all game long. Dennard will have a hell of an NFL career, and folks here in Nebraska understand and appreciate the value of a great punter/kicker in Maher. Well deserved awards for these fellas.

True2tRA Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Ooh, no Huskers on second team defense either coaches or media. Damn, that is tough. Quote Link to comment
ladyhawke Posted November 29, 2011 Author Share Posted November 29, 2011 Are they going to interview any of our players? I figured if you won one of their awards they would interview the winner?? Quote Link to comment

akita Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 According to Bob Davie and Bob Wischusen, we should all look for the heart and soul of our defense Austin Cassidy to get honors. I've never understood all that hate for Cassidy this year. Yeah, he's been out of position for some plays, but what player hasn't? I think most of the plays he supposedly gave up where because the corners and linebackers didn't do their job. you do understand Bob davie and Cassidies parents are frineds right? I about blew a chart laughing so hard and Bob Davie talking up Cassidy so hard. Kid plays hard,Just not real sure about the NFL thing though. Heck davie probally had him as a 2nd rounder after all the love he gave him. Quote Link to comment
