! 2012 Third-Team All-MAC

1. Kind of sad and disappointing that we only have one player on the 1st & 2nd team combined.

2. Total joke that Quinton Poling is 3rd team...he was defensive player of the week like 8 times this year wasn't he????

Finally, we agree on something.

I'm sure he was held back by having missed parts or all of several games, but obviously, even with that considered, I don't see how he isn't at least second team.

So does this make Frank's coaching performance even better, given he has only one player at least second-team all-conference?

Or does this make Frank's recruiting seem sub-par, as other MAC schools appear to have more top-quality players at certain positions?

Which is even more impressive considering he lost time due to injury.

I think you really take a hit if you miss a bunch of time due to injury. That has to be why Poling is not higher up, even though he's better than most. Example, NIU's RB Bouagnon put up big yardage stats and TDs, playing every game. But I would put him 3rd-team at best, having watched him play, and just looking at ypc average as well.

The thing is, the check is in the mail. It was "more better players" that turned 6-6 into 8-4 and just took down NIU. Seniors honored above were McQueen, Powell and Wells. Coming up are Lowery, Pruehs and Provitt. Two out of three will step in at the same level with potential to be better. Provitt, might just be the next Carrie or Wells. Next year's "more better players" are already on the roster. Can not wait to see Sayles, Basham, Laseak, Poling, Brown, Moore, Aloese, Porter, Smart, Provitt, Watson , McCray, Wood, Cope, Smith, Reid, Davis, Nelson, Howell, Hagen, McKnight, Crouch, Pleasants, Anderson, Belack, and Ball etc. all bigger, stronger and faster. A little faith is all that is required.

Recruiting is a big part of coaching. There is no GM in the college game.

Agree 100%. Our team should have a collective chip on their shoulder for all the individual snubs as they head to Detroit for the MAC Championship game.....er.....never mind.

Yes I remember that thread. I did the math for this year, and awarded 5 points for first team, 3 points for 2d team, and 1 point for third team. Here are the results:

NIU 47pts 6 conference wins
BG 38, 7
Toledo 34, 6
WMU 29, 6
Kent 19, 2
CMU 18, 6
Ball St 18, 2
UMass 14, 2
Buffalo 13, 3
Akron 11, 5
Ohio 7, 5
Maimi 4, 2
EMU 4, 0
