It's a start.

[commadore]

We'll see. I think we will have a couple on the SEC team.

bumper pool? kool-aid mckinstry?? (obviously i've not been paying attention.) 25% bama! have there been other years when pre-season honors listings like this have been similarly devoid of commodores?

There’s one (former) Commodore on the list.
It’s a bit of a gut punch to see Tyler Steen on the third team OL, though not quite as much of a gut punch as when he transferred. However, he did graduate, so can’t begrudge the guy.

The twit sphere is atwitter about who cast the lone first place vote for VU. But unlike the regular media polls,I guess who voted how is not public?

Maybe it was BrentVU

Not me, I wasn't there. My suspicion is one of the guys with the "Dore Report."

Finebaum spent some time talking about hiw insane it was for VU ti get the vote. Kind of made me chuckle.
