Maxwell and Bednarik Pre-Season Watch Lists Announced

Submitted by Bodogblog on

The Maxwell Football Club's pre-season watch lists for the Maxwell and Bednarik awards were announced this morning.  There are no Michigan players on either list. 

Yes, that guy who's about to post, you think this is a stupid list and it is and it doesn't matter and all that matters is what happens on the field.  Just win games.  Etc. 

But I do think it's one of those indicators that the season is only a couple of months away, and it's time to refresh your memory on who, by one club's measure, is going to be good in 2015.  You are likely to see many of them in the oft-confusing but slightly amusing B1G draft that the writers of this board will engage in soon. And scorn, this list is made for scorn.  Some of the nominees seem to be active trolling on the MFC's part, for which I commend them.

It's funny how I've heard of few of the defensive players, but most of the offensive players. I get that thats just how the league is now, but I still find it interesting. Also, I'm guessing you have a problem with Rutgers OP?

Sounds about right. I know it's not about where you start, but rather where you finish, but still, there are no proven playmakers on our team right now. Lot of potential, for sure, but very, very little in the way of results.

I tihnk it's great that nobody on the team is getting any preseason recognition.  Harbaugh will be able to play the "No Respect" and "Us Against the World" cards whenever he wants to this year.  This is a team of previous underachievers with a huge collective chip on its shoulder.  

Mentally, this team will be like Clubber Lang during the first portion of Rocky 3.  I like that a lot.  It's an edge Michigan hasn't had in a long time.

Yeah, about right. Some of those Maxwell nominations seem a bit suspect, but overall it makes sense. UM is going to have to prove it on the field.

Maybe a slight indication on how the previous coaching staff was misreable at developement and coaching of players.
