Obviously people who work around the conference, and in the midwest are more informed as to what players made the biggest impact in the conference. Still the Outlaw showed up large in Iowa's biggest games on the national scene, so no excuse for his being left off.Congrats Josey on both. Said it earlier for LB of the Year but that was before the DPOY was announced. It bears repeating again how excellent you are on and off the field. Just making sure I got this right: So the best linebacker in the BIG is also the best defensive player in the BIG and won the Jack Lambert Award for BEST LB in the nation but a different award for Best LB favored 2 linebackers from the same conference over same said guy? I know different people are voting for this stuff
BUT THAT IS A COMPLETE AN UTTER TRAVESTY OF THE HIGHEST PROPORTION
Yes he can.He can still receive write-in votes on final Butkus ballott, no? I would think with all these accolades, it would more than persuade others to write him in!
"The Butkus Award sets out to recognize those qualities that defined Dick’s career, heavily factoring the following five traits: toughness (playing through pain with a warrior mentality), on-field leadership (intimidating presence and respected tone-setter), competitiveness (passion, intensity and relentless effort), football character (work ethic, drive and determination) and linebacking skills (instincts, tackling, striking, balance, knee bend, shedding, cover skills, blitzing)."
It's as if they wrote it just for josey! what a shame
At least some folks have a clue
LOL I was actually about to put shame/shamYou mean "what a sham"
Clearly, you are correctObviously people who work around the conference, and in the midwest are more informed as to what players made the biggest impact in the conference. Still the Outlaw showed up large in Iowa's biggest games on the national scene, so no excuse for his being left off.

Anyone winning DPOY over Sanders is another Sham.
