Preseason all American team

Tried too hard to get as many teams represented as possible. No Kenneth Eiden IV? The way he finished last season should have him on any list.

[ClowderUp]

TL;DR:
Titan (OL) and Taco (PR) on the 1st team.
Jones (RB) and Brott (DL) on the 2nd team.

Some guy at dUMb named Wortham got 1st team for all-purpose. I've never heard of him. Otherwise lots of disrespect for dUMb (as expected). They put Gilman down at 3rd team, and some LB I've never heard of (Peyton Wing) as 3rd team.

Wortham is the transfer from EWU. He ripped off a 75-yard TD vs MSU last year. I think he fumbled a KO return that MSU turned into a TD.

Oh that's right. He's a very dangerous player. Thx

No Eiden is a huge snub.

Peyton Wing does not show up on the roster at um that I can find? Is he a phantom?

like i said in another post....
preseason dont mean sh!t. we will dominate the final list this year.

This is all rather amusing. Their only 1st or 2nd team placement is an EWU transplant. EWU recruited and developed this guy. Where in the absolute hell has Bobbi 2.0 been? Are gris really happy about going 2-4 against the Cats and placing 6th, 3rd, 3rd, 6th, 1st, and 5th in conference? Absolute crap over there under Bobbi 2.0.

He's on their online roster, #32. I think he'll be very good for them, was the best player on a very bad Portland State defense the past couple seasons.

Surprised Gilman isn't 1st team or 2nd team before Jones. If it was me thats where I would go with it.

I wouldn’t. Statistically, they’re fairly even, but Jones made numerous big plays in big games, while Gillman didn’t. Jones is also a very smart/heady player who does things without the ball that don’t show up on the stat sheet.

The Cats have all home grown talent and the Friz have all transfers. Boobie doing work.

Agreed Tom. Gilman, while receiving a "load managed" Bobby workload in games, did have his best games against weak opponents and went almost completely silent against tougher competition.

Games over 100 yds rushing: Morehead St, Western Carolina, EWU, Portland State, Tenn St
@ Cal Poly 17 yds (yikes)
Vs UC Davis: 21 yds
@ MSU: 35 yds
@ SDSU: 12 yds

While Adam Jones
Head to Head vs Griz 197
@ New Mexico 167
Sac St 159
Idaho 95

Jones benefitted by his home run hitting ability, but that's part of Gilman's run game as well. Proof is in the pudding.

Side note: Julius Davis, if healthy, may also have a better season. He has been down in Florida this offseason working out with the likes of Jonathan Taylor and other NFL players. Believe both could be in contention for all american honors at the end of the day.

I was going to ask, Peyton Wing???

[VIGEN SZN]

Wing was one of the few highlights from a putrid Portland State defense from last year, wouldn't have minded him over here for LB depth. Will see how he fits in Booby's elaborate, "hard to learn" defense.

So realistically, BH sent his son to coach at PSU so he could convince their best defensive players to transfer to UM. It all makes sense.

No Eiden is a huge snub.

K.E. 4 is going to be an animal on our D-line. Unleash the Eiden!

Just workshopping this.....can we refer to the opponents' offensive backfield as The Garden of Eiden?

[BelligerentBobcat]

Really cool that all the players from MSU are high school recruits.
