Waddle might be an All-American and there is no way he slips through the second round. I actually see him late first round.
Darrin Moore--2nd round.
How about Amaro making 2nd team by playing 6 games. This kid will be three-and-out at Tech (He'll graduate in 3 years) and will be a first round pick.
Brandon Carter. Well, I remember the night Carter lined up across from Chief Nakudoomie Suck of Nebraska who was figured to be all world. Suck got one tackle, no sacks, and no hurries. That was during Tech's 4-game winning streak against the formerly steroid infested Cornhuskers presented to us by Coach X that is still intact. Reminds me of the fact that when the NCAA got serious about steroids it was over in Lincoln.
OK. I'm finished.
No
Nothing good happened with coach x. Tech football didnt exist until uncle kent brought in coach pinocchio.
Great Job!
This kid worked hard for this honor. The Big 12 has some of the best linemen in the nation. To be named 1st team is outstanding. Keep up the good work and show Minnesota what you are about!
