2010 All Big 10 Teams

Bizarre...  Denard is the Offensive Player of the Year, but he is not the first team QB...

That makes no sense at all. 

I am not getting this either. Must be a bias toward "Pro" style quarterbacks. POY and his stats are far superior.

James White...freshman. This guy could be Ron Dayne by his sr yr.

Broekhuizen didn't get first team kicker!

I don't follow other team's stats all that much but I'm really surprised that Clay is second team.

On the subject of slights, how about Jonas Mouton?

The dude had 111 tackles (to lead the Big Ten), 10 TFLs, 2 sacks, 2 interceptions, 1 quarterback hurry, and 1 forced fumble...

...and he's not even Honorable Mention.

How did Taylor Lewan not get on the sportsmanship award list?

What I want to know is why the defensive line isn't broken down like the offensive line? Four defensive ends on the first team and four tackles on the second team? Why not 2 ends, 2 tackles per team? The only team I ever recall running four defensive ends at once was the Giants the year they won the Superbowl, and even then they only did that against heavy passing teams or in obvious passing situations.

On that note, why do all of these "All-X Team" rosters always assume a 4-3 defense (and seemingly a 12-man offense)? I want to see an All-Big 10 3-3-5 defense, dammit!

MIchigan had one first-teamer and one second-teamer, in adition to Denard being the POY.  That pretty much validates what RR supporters have said all along: Michigan doesn't yet have enough players to compete with the top of the conference. 

I can't wait until next year when the players coming back will all be one year older, bigger, smarter, and more experienced.  When a lot of Michigan players start to show up in the all conference team again, the wins will follow: not, as RR detractors think, vice-versa.

I came to the conclusion long ago that anything that was the result of a vote (politics excluded) wasn't worth feeling good/bad about.  That includes all Big Ten first team, the Heisman, American Idol, 10 Best Dressed, etc. blah, blah, blah.

Now, all time leading rusher for QB or first to surpass rushing/passing yards, that is something quantifiable and doesn't require a vote. IMHO.

Thanks for letting me get that off my chest.  Now, back to our regular programing.
