f'ing unbelievable. How the hell is Henery not the winner of this award? :facepalm:

 

[HuskerJosh]

That's bullsh#t. Oh well, it's what I've come to expect.

 

[darkhorse85]

Good to see David on that list now too.

:bonesflag:

...and the Henery thing blows my mind as well. Oh well, here's to a long and successful career in the NFL, Alex!

 

[ESPY]

And congrats to the Big 12 Newcomer of the Year! Let's hear it for Lavonte David!

Henery gets snubbed again. Surprise surprise.

Unreal, but not surprising. I'm sick of hearing "Bailey is OSU's all time leading scorer" blah blah blah With Henery's next point, he'll be NU's all time leading scorer, and the bar is much higher at NU than it is at OSU.

You really couldn’t go wrong with any of the following kickers: Alex Henery, Dan Bailey or Grant Ressel. Only one of them could win the award. I would like to see the voting breakdown for that position though.

Except it's the "Special Teams Player" award, not the kicker award. Henery is an outstanding kicker AND punter. It's braindead to vote Bailey over him.
