:thumbsup:

Hopefully Dedric wins the POTY award that matters. I get why they won't vote for a guy that hasn't played a single league game though.

@Woodrow

Two K-Staters in the first team; I can't think of 2 Kansas State player being named to the first team in a long time. In their one year together Beasley made first team and was the conference POY but Walker only made All- Big 12 third team.

With this stable of horses Bruce will surely win the league!

Larry Bird Jr finally won something

Maybe now he can beat KU once in his career. Wouldn't bank on it though.

@JayHawkFanToo Chuckie Williams and Mike Evans, All Big 8, 1976.

@mayjay Ahhh. ..The Purple Popgun duo.

@mayjay

40+ years ago...I had not even been to Kansas; I knew it had to be a long time ago when KSU was pretty good in basketball and sucked in football.

:o

@JayHawkFanToo It was a pretty good decade for KSU. First, Lon Kruger, overlapping Williams, overlapping Evans, overlapping Rolando Blackman. 5 Big 12 POYs among them from 1972-1981, 3 conf titles.

@BShark

2nd teamers named Lard and Grimes and Roach? Sounds like a lawfirm! (sorry @justanotherfan and @mayjay)

@wissox I was never in a firm. Didn't work with my anti-joiner mentailty!

Or my 9 to 5 preference, either.
