Seniors dominate the OL picks. Reynolds should be there, but he wont get listed on the 1st or 2nd teams until his Jr. year.

Watch him jump to the NFL after his Soph. year and get drafted ahead of all 5 pre-season Seniors.

Yep all the MWC awards are is a way to reward seniors. Remember Harvey lost out his freshman year to Dontrelle Moore even though he had twice the numbers.

I remember looking at the All-Big East teams from 01' or 02' and Miami just dominated. Almost all 22 starters listed amongst the 1st and 2nd teams. What year was it when New Mexico underachieved on the season once again and had like 9 players on the MWC 1st team.

Another thing, Nick Charles(OL) and Chris Thomas(DB), is that a joke? Air Force players are worthy of 1st team honors once in a blue moon.

I think the media should just do us all a favor and put all the UNM guys on there in the preseason so we're ready when the final results come out at season's end.
