Would be more interesting to hear why you thinks it's bad, than that you do think it's bad.

Sorry, the 2nd team and HM had not been posted at that point. I was shocked to see some of the names on 1st team and then I saw the 2nd team/HM and was more relieved about it. Just didn't seem right as I felt some of the 2nd teamers should've been on first team and not seeing a 2nd team release made me question what was going on (especially with all those A10 guys).

That's fantastic, but where's the complete list of all 78 players who are mentioned ? Clicking on the preseason All-American link brings up last year's listing.

thanks - i would think that providing a link on the page of the actual release would also point people in the right direction.

I thought they were about to link it. Guess they aren't so you have to click on the link on the left.

Sorry about that!
