150 Year All Time All-America Team

[Red_Alert]

College football turns 150: All-Time All-America team features the game's greatest ever

"Nebraska occupies five of the 27 first-team spots with Heisman winner Johnny Rodgers getting the nod at both punt returner and as an all-purpose player. Cornhuskers quarterback Tommie Frazier was also a first-team pick as still one of only five quarterbacks to win back-to-back national championships since the 1950s."

1st Team Huskers

Quarterback -- Tommie Frazier (Nebraska, 1992-1995): Frazier was best appreciated as time went on. He wasn't the best thrower. He went undrafted after leading Nebraska to consecutive national championships. But his signature play endures -- a 75-yard twisting, turning, tackle-breaking touchdown run against Florida in 1996 Fiesta Bowl.

Center -- Dave Rimington (Nebraska, 1979-1982): Rimington was such a dominant player at Nebraska that he has a national award named after him. The Rimington Award honors the nation's best center.

Defensive linemen - Ndomukung Suh (Nebraska, 2005-2009): Suh may be the best defensive lineman in Nebraska history.

Punt returner, all-purpose player -- Johnny Rodgers (Nebraska, 1970-1972): Rodgers was perhaps the most versatile player of all time. The 1972 Heisman winner caught 143 career passes, rushed 130 times and returned 98 punts (scoring 44 touchdowns). In his final game, Rodgers accounted for five touchdowns against Notre Dame in the Orange Bowl.

2nd Team Huskers

OL - Will Shields (Nebraska, 1989-1992)
DL - Rich Glover (Nebraska 1969-1972)
K - Alex Henery (Nebraska 2007-2010)

Honorable Mention

C - Dominic Raiola (Nebraska 1998-2000)
OL - Aaron Taylor (Nebraska 1994-1997)

So they hate quarterbacks that can pass. Their first team QB they said wasn’t a great passer and their second string is Tim Tebow.

I don't disagree with all that much. I'd probably have Fitzgerald 1st team though.

Interesting, where are all those Washington and Oregon players?

1st team
Nebrask 4 with Rodgers at two positions
USC 2
UCLA 1

Washington ZERO
0regon ZERO

2nd team
USC 2
Washington 1

0regon ZERO

Honorable Mention
USC 2
Washington 1

0regon ZERO

I guess no one likes a zero.

Several players at two positions

The impressive one to me is Butkus 1st team Linebacker and honorable mention Center. I did not know he played center.

That second team defense front seven, (Joe Greene, Bubba Smith, Warren Sapp, Rich Glover, Mike Singletary, Ray Lewis, and Lavar Arrington) is just as dominant as the first team defense front seven

Kudos to putting Jim Thorpe on there.

I notice that 1956 Heisman winner Paul Hornung is not on the list but Jim Brown is. Jim Brown finished 5th in Heisman voting in 1956. Jim Brown should have won that 1956 Heisman. Hornung never should have won it. He should not have even sniffed it. Hornung was a great all round athlete, but throwing for 3 TDS and 13 INTs in 1956 on a 2-8 team sort of tells me he was not in the same league as some other players.

Another thing that stood out to me, is that two of those 1st team Huskers are from Omaha

Dave Remington - Omaha South High
Johnny Rodgers - Omaha Tech High

I would replace Frazier with Tebow. Otherwise I thought the 1st team was pretty good. Red Grange should have made honorable mention.

You fucking racist.

The voting was not based on being gay, libtard.

They left the PC shit out of it.

 

[wingsauce7]

Woo Hoo! Hawkeyes have the 5th best Punter! Suck it, Haters!

 

[wood20ks]

Wow...…….I didn't know dick Butkus was a two way player...……..honorable mention for playing center...……...Wgo`d of thought...……….?

 

[Justin Tyme]

When it comes to running backs...first choice should be Earl Campbell. The two listed are for sure great, but Earl first.
Remington, Suh and Rodgers is a no-brainer.
And those four they have listed for DL! Can you imagine those on the same team at the same time?!!! WOW

2nd Team All-Time Safety: Eric Berry

Grass.

Huge advantage for the Gators.
