good stuff.

BG obviously deserved this in our biased minds. It's good to see other's recognize his greatness.
Zoltan 2nd team selection as well.
December 14th, 2009 at 5:04 PM ^
biased minds indeed. It's hard to argue against Suh, Morgan, Hughes and Cody on the DL for First Team AA. Graham just doesn't stack up to those four. Most years he would be good enough but not this year.
December 14th, 2009 at 5:11 PM ^
I agree with you. It doesn't take away from how good he was this year and can be but those names on the list you have there are VERY impressive.
December 14th, 2009 at 5:27 PM ^
All five are great players, it's just that Graham seems to be number 5. Maybe that's because he has been double-teamed all year or that Michigan hasn't been as successful as GT, 'Bama, Nebraska, and TCU. Still, all five should be successful in the NFL.

Upon what basis are these guys supposed to be better than Graham? Statistically Hughes, for example, doesn't compare to BG. Graham 42 solo tackles, 26 TFL, 10.5 sacks. Hughes 30 solo tackles, 15 TFL, 11.5 sacks.

Wasn't he second team B10 for the year? I really didn't keep up with honors voting, but am I correct in thinking he wasn't All B10?

Graham was 1st Team All-Big Ten and won the Silver Football for most valuable player--which he shared with Darryl Clark.

Hughes isn't on Graham's level in terms of all-around play. While Hughes might get a slight edge in pass rushing, if that, Graham's rush defense and ability to disrupt the offense blows Hughes' out of the water.
December 14th, 2009 at 5:31 PM ^
Didn't Graham lead the nation in TFLs? That's ridiculous based on the quality of play at most of our other positions. Let alone getting doubled the whole damn game...
December 14th, 2009 at 5:41 PM ^
He played the 2nd half of the ND game without a head
"We got no linebackers... we got no safeties... our defensive linemans' HEADS ARE FALLING OFF..."
December 14th, 2009 at 5:42 PM ^
Good lord -- imagine BG and Suh playing on the same DL.
December 14th, 2009 at 6:34 PM ^
Every time
December 14th, 2009 at 9:12 PM ^
but it would be blocked every time.
December 14th, 2009 at 11:12 PM ^
For BG is a merciful overlord...
December 14th, 2009 at 5:53 PM ^
right to the Miami Dolphins...
December 15th, 2009 at 2:00 AM ^
GB is moving up to pick him!

Also some second team love for the Space Emperor.

Space Emperor FOR LIFE. How about that promo he did during the college football awards with tiffin? Does anybody know what I'm talking about/have a link?
