...we can add another Winter tradition to the list: Mizzou tight ends getting screwed over by the Big 12 coaches.
That's right, the Coaches' All-Big 12 awards have been announced.
1st-Team Mizzou players
WR Jeremy Maclin
DL Ziggy Hood
LB Sean Weatherspoon
DB William Moore (unanimous)
PK Jeff Wolfert
2nd-Team Mizzou players
RB Derrick Washington
TE Chase Coffman
OL Kurtis Gregory
DL Stryker Sulak
Honorable Mention
QB Chase Daniel
WR Tommy Saunders
OL Tim Barnes
OL Colin Brown
DL Jaron Baston
LB Brock Christopher
DB Castine Bridges (?)
DB Justin Garrett (??)
KR/PR Jeremy Maclin
I realize it's hard to complain too much--a few years ago, it was amazing to see a handful of second-teamers in Mizzou uniforms, much less nine on the 1st- and 2nd-team--and I realize that Jermaine Gresham is by all means a helluva tight end, but...come on. Not only is Chase Coffman the best tight end in the conference, he's the best tight end I've ever seen.
Then again, this tells you everything you need to know about the validity of these stupid exercises:
* Justin Garrett = honorable mention all-conference
* Carl Gettis = not
Good god, what a waste of time. Sorry I even acknowledged this with a post.
