BULLET BULLET BULLET!! (YESTERDAY!!) YOUR ALL-SEC TEAMS.

by Holly Anderson on Dec 6, 2007 4:03 PM EST

--Nod unsurprised and shake your head that he's still alive and swinging: Tim Tebow, first team QB. The only shocker here is not seeing him also named as a running back and O-Lineman.

--Three Vandy players on the list! Receiver Earl Bennett gets first team honors, with Jonathan Goff and D.J. Moore making the second defensive team.

--Jonathan Hefney making All-SEC...I just don't know. I love the guy, but this seems like more of a name recognition vote than a validation of anything he's done this year, which ain't much.

-- Raise your glasses, shake ya asses to:
Knowshon Moreno, Freshman of the Year and first team running back. Marvel at his sideline antics below and kick yourself if you missed this game, in which he performed no fewer than six separate fully choregraphed sideline routines. He'd get my vote, if they gave them to dirty bloggers, by virtue of being fantastic television:

--Bafflement: The relegation of Percy "Prettybird" Harvin to second team honors. It pains no one more than me to say that, but the son of a bitch can fly, and that's got to count for something.

--The first team defense leads the conference in Gilbert & Sullivan-worthy monikers, boasting Wallace Gilberry, Ali Highsmith, Simeon Castille, and Captain Munnerlyn, who also garnered All-American Name Team honors.

--Vol Baby Eric "Boo" Berry, second team! Eighteen years old and already a beast. If you've never seen this kid play, I pray you, DO. He's going to be an absolute monster in the secondary of a sort Tennessee has not seen in years.

--Daniel Lincoln and Britton Colquitt, both second team, continue Tennessee's habit of fielding fantastic players of kicking persuasions and rank incompetence elsewhere in special teams (a bit unfair at present, thanks to a curious resurgence in the Vol return game this year, but we do love tradition).

--And LSU kicker Colt David. Sweet, fragile Colt David. I suppose I should resent you for beating out Lincoln for first team honors, but he's only a freshman and has plenty of time to fill the shoes of James Wilhoit. But you've brought us so many hours of entertainment, ever since our liveblog of Florida-LSU that I can't find it in me to resent your success.

"LSU trails Florida by Colt David should be eaten by scorpions. Three. I mean three." --J-Cuz, LSU-Florida, 4th quarter

--As for Coach of the Year...he brought his team to the Liberty Bowl, defeated the Orgeron. Hard to say which was more improbable in August, but SEC? You've been CROOMX0RED.

The rankings are here; individual awards here. Praise or rail at Football Jesus at your leisure, sirs.

funny how you make colt david eeyor, and then the next pic i swear to god croom is yelling EEEEEYOOOOORRRR!!!

I guess that’d make him Pooh, but to me Croom was always more of a Chuck (from Riverbottom Nightmare Band, what what!).

When Tennessee can’t stop someone, they send in Eric Berry to eliminate that someone from the game. Felix Jones? check. Earl Bennett? check.

by The Modern Gal on Dec 6, 2007 4:33 PM EST reply actions

Oh, and I can’t take credit for Eeyore—that was created by fellow Lady/Photoshop madwoman/Cousin J-Money for our Halloween post (also featuring Little Tebow Peep!).

by Holly on Dec 6, 2007 4:35 PM EST reply actions

How could Tebow be first-team?!? He’s only a sophomore!!!

Erik Ainge gets screwed ag…oops, he just threw another pick. My bad.

Eric Berry sure couldn’t stop Jacob Hester last week.

THAT BABY IS HAUNTING ME PUT IT AWAY

by The Great Barstoolio on Dec 6, 2007 4:47 PM EST reply actions

I don’t think Jacob Hester was Tennessee’s problem last week.

by The Modern Gal on Dec 6, 2007 4:54 PM EST reply actions

Running for 120 yards and 5.2 per carry is a problem in my book.

by The Last Dragon on Dec 6, 2007 4:57 PM EST reply actions

Harvin is a man with no position. Great athlete with obvious 1st team skills, but where would you put him? McKinley led the conference in receptions, yds/game, and was 2nd in receiving TDs. I think Bennett got 1st team on his name. DJ Hall, the guy from UT, and 2 WRS from UK had pretty good #’s.

by Mike on Dec 6, 2007 5:02 PM EST reply actions

I think it’s telling, that the coaches agreed that Tebow wasn’t the Offensive Player of the Year in the SEC.

Of course, he’ll get the Heisman, due to being in an offense that has no competent RBs to score inside the 10.

by Will on Dec 6, 2007 5:07 PM EST reply actions

This sounds odd in my head, but McKinkley meant more to South Carolina than Bennett meant to Vandy.

If you watched South Carolina any this season, Mitchell and Smelley both would stare at McKinley for the first 5-10 seconds after their drop, not because Spurrier did not teach them how to look off WRs, but because he was the only viable receiving option, sans the dumpoff out of the backfield to Boyd.

Granted, Cook and, especially, Lecorn stepped up as the season progressed, but McKinley was basically USC’s first 3 options when they aired it out.

Bama has more players on the 1st team All-SEC than UF and Auburn combined?

What’s next? Soulja Boy nominated for a Grammy?…ummm, wait, wha?!?

by Sabanite on Dec 6, 2007 5:15 PM EST reply actions

Would have liked to see where Jasper was placed if he played all season. My guess, E. Cook would have moved up to 1st team with him and Captain. Well he wasn’t and we’ll have him back next year with his medical redshirt all ironed and ready for action. Maybe Tebow owes Mr. Brinkley a thanks for being injured for his Heisman cementing game this season.

I agree with Will. McFadden would also get my vote for Heisman.

OOC, any You Tube clips from that Arkansas/USC game from this season or last season?

by Coop on Dec 6, 2007 5:34 PM EST reply actions

SYSTEM QUARTERBACK!!!

by Tater Salad on Dec 6, 2007 5:35 PM EST reply actions

Will, I’d chalk much of the McFadden as Offensive POY to the fact that he’s gone after this season.

Coaches are very into lifetime achievement awards.

by Warthen on Dec 6, 2007 5:57 PM EST reply actions

- That’s a fact. Tebow should win the Heisman but the voters are too scared to give it to a sophomore.

by The Last Dragon on Dec 6, 2007 6:09 PM EST reply actions

Percy was named 1st team as an all-purpose player, 2nd team as a wr.

Coop #15 – My wife did something to the firewall that prevents me from viewing those clips (or the one from UofF, Clemson, Vandy, 2nd half of UNC, UT) because it’s costing us sheet rock repairs and threatening our marital bliss.

by Out of Conference on Dec 6, 2007 7:13 PM EST reply actions

Tebow can’t win the Heisman now. Didn’t even win MVP of his own conference. McFadden will now leapfrog him to the top slot for the trophy.

by CoolPapaSweets on Dec 6, 2007 7:27 PM EST reply actions

Looks like all of the D1-A coaches favor McFadden, as he takes away the Walter Camp Player of the Year Award (a predictor of 32 of the last 40 Heisman Trophy winers).

by Will on Dec 6, 2007 7:34 PM EST reply actions

Those who believe that Tebow should win the McFadden trophy need to quit the xbox and watch a real game.

by Ulysses S. McGill on Dec 6, 2007 7:49 PM EST reply actions

Ironically, the “McFadden Trophy” winner is the worst predictor of Heisman success.

by PW on Dec 6, 2007 7:52 PM EST reply actions

2 Questions Dept:

1) McFadden beat out Tebow for the “Offensive Player of the Year”?

2) Croom beat out Saban for “Coach of the Year”. (This is a joke, unlike the first question, for you brain surgeon fans from ’Bama.)

Tebow wins the Heisman!!!!…but could not win the SEC offensive player award…..

Yeah, but McFadden’s got that wood… Tebow never brought a bat to a game

Croom gives everyone the warm fuzzies, cause he looks like Black Santa

Hopefully the AV guys at the Sugar Bowl will have some Soulja Boy to crank or else the Leg humpers will be in trouble.

by Brandon Cox's Sandy Vagina on Dec 6, 2007 10:13 PM EST reply actions

Heismanpundit says that Tebow will run away with the Heisman.

And, that guy is almost never wrong.

by Coop on Dec 6, 2007 10:25 PM EST reply actions

When will Croom get the ultimate reward: Mustache of the Day

Is he the only SEC coach that can grow facial hair?

by Adam on Dec 6, 2007 11:02 PM EST reply actions

A Guy who spends his life predicting Heisman winners is wrong on so many levels.

All SEC Team = All Galaxy Team. SEC Honorable Mention team would be 2 TD favorites over the Patriots in Foxboro… OMG SEC RulZ…

That baby Colt David looks like the sort of child you’d see crawling towards you along the ceiling while you’re sweating out the smack.

by DC Trojan on Dec 7, 2007 3:31 AM EST reply actions

Holly not only did Hefney make 1st team for the coaches, he did NOT make 1st team, 2nd team or even honorable mention on the AP All-SEC team, on the list I saw.

Who the hell names their kid Colt?

by etsuVol on Dec 7, 2007 7:30 AM EST reply actions

Tebow will win the Heisman. It is the least debated point that keeps being debated. McFadden is great, but when Felix Jones is in the game at crunch time and McFadden is no where to be seen……then you aren’t the country’s best player. You may be the “country’s best player that is trying to protect his pro career, with the blessing of a coach that is as crazy as a shit-house rat”….but I am not even sure they give that award out….but they should……….

The real joke is that Ole Pi$$ has 2 on 1st team. Wallace Gilberry better than Titus Brown? Get real.

Gilberry is better than Brown.

Titus Brown is damn good. Gilberry is better.

The name Colt only works if you have a good last name to go with it (i.e. Colt McCoy, okay QB, badass Texas name). Colt David just doesn’t cut it though.

by Clemson327 on Dec 7, 2007 10:02 AM EST reply actions

The coaches found no place for Harvin on first team offense, yet they had 7 o-linemen on first team. 9 on second team.

by crimson daddy on Dec 7, 2007 10:26 AM EST reply actions

#37: That’s why Croom won coach of the year…MSU has zero superstars and 1 or 2 stars, yet still won 4 SEC games. You can’t tie MSU’s accession to a senior Heisman trophy candidate like some schools (Hey to Kentucky!).

Wait, people still give a shit about the Heisman?

by Darkknight on Dec 7, 2007 10:52 AM EST reply actions

Can someone tell me how many of the Baby Rhino’s scores and how much of his total yardage came after the game had been decided; a point where other coachs would have pulled their first string QB? Tebow’s got incredible numbers but I think Urban Meyer groomed him for the Heisman pageant.
