S.I. Mid Season All American Team

[White Lightning]

Here is a link to the Sports Illustrated Mid Season All American Team.I'm quite suprised to see a more than fair amount of white football players.It's about time that SI gives some credit to these fine white athletes.The really cool thing is the 2 starting wide receivers are Mike Haas and J.Samardjza.For once S.I. did it right!

(You gotta check your links man) That is pretty sweet to have both white WR. Lets hope these guys will be given a chance in the pros.

Then you have Garrett Mills as the starting tightend with around 600 yards receiving.This is a pretty good starting lineup.Thanks for reposting the link JoeV.

It's nice to see the white receivers and tightend but Vince Young at
QB...c'mon! How about Brady Quinn? That's who should be the
starting QB.

 

[psychosid]

i think tom zimborwski should have been one of the safties...

This year there are a dearth of black quarterbacks in the college ranks, so Young as their selection doesn't surprise me. If not Young then Jacobs, Shockley, Troy Smith, or Marcus Vick would have been as top QB.

Most of these black QB's aren't worth a dime, just overhyped position fillers.

 

[JoeV]

^^^^ I agree wholeheartedly, but my point was being they had plenty of overrated black QBs to choose from as the "one".

 

[Colonel_Reb]

Yeah, your right 100% about that Jimmy. I can't get over how many no good journeyman black QB's are still in this league, if for no other reason than a bunch of PC owners and coaches. It amazes me.

 

[whiteCB]

Yeah that Tom guy from ND really should have been the safety. Wow just really impressed at how SI gave props to the guys who have earned it: Samardizida, Haas, and TE Mills. Hell yeah!

In the same issue SI also lists Kyle Bell as the "Best Player You've Never Heard Of." There's a little photo of him too, so at least some more people are now aware that there is a topnotch white tailback starting for Colorado State.

I might just have to go buy that issue.It's pretty rare that I have the urge to but a S.I. Issue but this just might be an exception.Way to go Kyle and also to all of the athletes that made the list.
