Your Pre-Season All Big Ten Team?

Interesting, and thanks.

When I looked I just saw LB and RB and I think DL. And we were around 30 for the first two and 12 or so for the 3rd.

And Btw: I'm glad their rankings line up. That is about the only site I trust for news. It is my read on the train to work every day. . .

I first saw some of the unit rankings and though of the quote from one of the OSU players (forget who) that we were picked to win the big ten because of past players and the standards they set. . .

I am so psyched for this year. These are my favorite years: the years I get to make new man-crushes on new players. Wow that sounded gay. (NTTIAWWT)

I feel the same way too (in a non-gay sort of way). I can't wait for the guys I look forward to lighting up the scoreboard week in and week out.

Rather than posting that, you should have just written it down and tucked that piece of paper away in your man-purse. :wink2:

In a totally unbiased view of your offensive preseason All Big Ten RB07OSU, I thought for about every one of the OSU players that they "haven't earned that yet." At the same time I don't doubt Posey and Herron and (to a lesser extent on the earning it bit) Pryor, etc. will be amazing. That is what makes this season so exciting.

If you look at collegefootballnews they rank our team highly but in their unit rankings we come out quite low. How can they say we have top ten running back or linebacker groups? They can't know. There isn't the data. But obviously, due to our high team ranking, they, like me, expect good things to happen.

I love seasons like this, seasons where I am so excited to see who our next breakout linebacker is, but expect to be fine at all three linebacker positions no matter what. This is a season where I trust in Herron and expect he may take a huge step to stardom, but I am also excited to see Berry and Saine and what they can do. Will Flash and Posey light up the field? Will Small put things together?

It is hard to pick OSU players for the preseason rankings right now, but I can't wait to see where we would place many of our guys at the end of the year. We are going to see one or two jersey numbers skyrocket in sales and may right now not even know which numbers those will be. . .

Agreed 100%. I think Posey, Herron, Small, Brewster, Shugarts, Heyward, Williams, Homan, and Russel all have the potential to be 1st teamers, but they just have to prove it. This certainly makes it an exciting preseaon with all the uncertainty.

I did not see any mention of Heyward. I think he's going to be a force this season, at least enough for 2nd team All-Big Ten.

Certainly possible but he had a tad bit of a slump this year. I think he can pull off 2nd team, or 1st, but he just needs to improve. Also, you have to wonder if he will play more DE or DT? DT is more open than DE at this point.
