Well, the fans here know so much more than these guys watching film and who pick these award winners.

they don't watch film to pick these award winners

the awards are based on hype/name recognition

that's why PP didn't make 1st team all SEC

I can agree to an extent that some of these are based on name and hype

BUT

There are still 11 other teams in the SEC and another 50 candidates with at least a few of them having some name recognition.

You seem to make it seem like this has to be some lottery pick because it is not the same as your grading?

Fans tend to miss the trees for the woods and vice-versa - maybe being too close to the team (or to sticking to your opinion) has led you to think that it should be only pure name and hype rather than acknowledge that you could be wrong.

WTF is with this stupid logical question when we are discussing the idiocy in giving an LSU Tiger an undeserved award.

Let us rantards be happy in knowing that we still can grade and coach the players better than anyone else.

ETA : if ignorance is bliss - we truly have the most blissful set of rantards.

OMG YOU TOTALLY RAWK!!!

Can you also get a link to that one play where Eli Manning was ambushed by the LSU defense - boy that guy sucks - I am sure he can't even make it in the NFL!!

While you are at it - try and also get the multiple sacks missed by Ray Lewis at Miami.

WTF is with you guys - can't you
1. Be happy that a Tiger is getting recognition without all the snide remarks
2. Try to accept the fact that maybe just maybe your grading and understanding of the game/player/plays is wrong (at least on this occasion )

Yeah PP got screwed in the All-SEC selections, and maybe even CJ IMO, but why can't all you "true Tiger fans" just be happy for one of our own. Congrats Ciron on the award and the All-SEC selection. Gonna look forward to keeping up with your NFL career. Another Tiger in the pros. Good luck and God bless.

Prom, you've been really annoying lately. Ciron has played poorly all year. You and I both know it.

Wow....

the majority of this thread is nothing but "Ciron didn't deserve this award, but 'GO CIRON!"

Unbelievable.

The committee decides on a group/winner (could be video, letters, dice ...anything).

Then they consult the rant - read/listen to rantards advice and then strike out the player set which intersect with their selection.

Then you have a genuine set of players/winners who are not in the Rant's choice at all.

Usually it is difficult because the Rant is pretty divided in their hatred but this time it was easy because the Rant Heads chose Ciron early on and led them to the inevitable unary set.

it's hard for me to believe that we had the best blocker in the SEC when our OL sucked (after returning 3/5 starters)

and yeah that's opinion, but so is this committee's decision

just like the group who decided that the best CB in the SEC shouldn't make the first team all SEC
