Sad but true, that's what happens when you are "Texas's" football team.

Naw its more then that, its also the hype machine of winning.
I remember in 98 we had pro bowl players tyhat had no reason being in the pro bowl!
*cough* Ed McDanial *cough*!
Yet your right a lot of cowboys and Football is god in texas

I was shocked how early they started the online voting this year!
Pretty sure it counts for a smaller percentage of the total, but still...many of the people receiving votes won't even finish the season, or might finish poorly!
Its kind of a crazy idea (popularity contest) to begin with, but starting that early is extra foolish!

Player and coach votes make more sense...and maybe the sports writer hacks, or not.
But, maybe, more emphasis should be given to actual performance counts, etc...tops in key categories given auto invites?
Most receptions, TDs, INTs, pass defense, total tackles, pancake blocks/least sacks allowed etc...

I think after the coach/player voting is added in Hutch, Phat Pat, and maybe Birk or K-Will will be added.
Oh and E.J. Henderson deserves it but it might be hard to knock off one of "The Incumbents."

I would love to see Pat Williams and Birk make it and Olin Kreutz get bounced.
