Obviously not.
The fatalists are pretty much always wrong here. [Reply]
Cody Schrader, who led the SEC with 1,499 rushing yards and leads the country with 124.92 yards per game, was a unanimous first-team selection by the panel. He was one of five players named on every ballot. Schrader is a finalist for the Burlsworth Award for the nation's best player who began his career as a walk-on. The winner will be announced at 7:00 Monday night.
Joining Schrader on the first-team were wide receiver Luther Burden III (83 receptions, 1197 yards, 8 touchdowns), offensive tackle Javon Foster, defensive end Darius Robinson (12 tackles for loss, 7.5 sacks) and cornerback Kris Abrams-Draine (11 pass breakups, 4 interceptions). Alabama was the only other team with five players selected to the first team.
Offensive guard Cam'Ron Johnson and kicker Harrison Mevis were second-team selections, giving the Tigers seven all-conference players overall. [Reply]

Is that the easiest college football award ever given?
It could've been exclusive to graduate students who transferred from Truman State to a Missouri Division 1 football program and he'd have been no MORE likely to win it than he was.
There was a 100% chance he won that award. [Reply]
Oh by the way, Drake Stoops being a finalist for that award because he 'walked on' for daddy's team despite scholarship offers to several division one programs is just a massive pile of shit.
Think they were thinking about silver spoon legacy 'walk-ons' when they established the award? That kid should've never been a walk on in the first place and even allowing him as a nominee completely disregards the spirit of the award. [Reply]
Tickets purchased! Taking my kids and going with dad, sisters family, numerous cousins and their families, and several friends. It’s going to be a Mizzou family reunion New Year’s party (hopefully celebrating a W). [Reply]
