I hope Adonis Thomas is 2nd team all MAC. This list looks about right to me.

Only 2 NIU OL on 1st team and no others on 2nd or 3rd?
No mention of Tommylee Lewis as a returner at all?
The freshman of the year doesn't earn an all MAC mention and Adonis Thomas is on the second team.....the MAC had some sick depth at RB this year.
Looking at the talent we have returning....I'm excited about BG's chances next year...

Other than against Tole_o, wasn't their kick returning pretty abysmal for the year?
Interesting that they have Perez Ashford ahead of both Martel Moore (who isn't on there at all) and Nathan Palmer. I would put Ashford 3rd for NIU WRs.

It's been mediocre overall. Besides Lewis' 2 TD's against Toledo this year the only KR for TD I can remember in recent history was last year....against Toledo.

It was a joke because our special teams is so bad we made NIU's returner look like an all American.

Somebody is going to have to explain to me how the Special Teams POY is the 2nd team kicker? Or looking at the other way, how does the 1st team kicker lose the ST POY to the 2nd team kicker?
I find it hard to believe they couldn't find a spot for Temple's leading tackler Stephen Johnson.

I don't understand that one either.

I've always said math is for suckers.
Shouldn't the guy who boomed multiple 70+ yard punts...including an 81 yard moonshot.... and is the fifth ranked punter in the conference be the ST POY?
The only punting stat worth a crap is balls punted inside the 20 vs. touchbacks. Yardage is way overrated.

I assume you meant nation, correct?
And no, yardage is NOT 'way' overrated when you can flip the field. That's a huge advantage to a defense.

So you BG guys are saying that Temple's punter should be MAC ST POY?
TJ Fatinikun played in 2 MAC games (6 overall) and STILL was voted 3rd team! Watch out for him next year!!
