The 2008 Iowa football team is winning awards like Titanic Gladiator (yeah, definitely Gladiator). Shonn Greene and Mitch King won the big awards, but they weren't the only players recognized. Now, for awards given at an earlier ceremony:
First Team All-Conference
Shonn Greene, RB (media (unanimous) & coaches)*
Seth Olsen, G (media & coaches)
Brandon Myers, TE (coaches)
Mitch King, DL (media & coaches (unanimous))
Second Team All-Conference
Rob Bruggeman, C (media & coaches)
Bryan Bulaga, T (coaches)
Kyle Calloway, T (media)
Matt Kroul, DL (media)
Pat Angerer, LB (media & coaches)
Amari Spievey, CB (coaches)
Ryan Donahue, P (coaches)
Honorable Mention All-Conference
Kyle Calloway, A.J. Edds, Bradley Fletcher, Matt Kroul (coaches)
Bryan Bulaga, Ryan Donahue, A.J. Edds, Bradley Fletcher, Brett Greenwood**, Brandon Myers, Amari Spievey (media)
That's one hell of a haul, considering Iowa had just two honorable mentions last season. Congrats to one and all.
* -- Voters are allowed to choose two running backs for first team all-conference consideration. Greene didn't get a unanimous selection from the coaches for first team all-Big Ten, which means one coach inexplicably had him third or worse in the conference. It's either the result of a massive oversight (unlikely) or a petty, vindictive, childish vote by someone with a vendetta against Iowa. Whoever did it should be relieved of their duties as a voter on these awards, a coach in this conference, and a living being on this planet.
I'm looking at you, Fitzgerald.
** -- We don't get Greenwood's inclusion, either, but we're not going to rain on his parade. Besides, the Big Ten's official website has his name misspelled. That's just cruel.

i'm confused
Does this mean EPIC GREENWOOD no longer applies?
Oh, and congrats boys. Up and down for sure, but helluva year.
Awards are great
They will hold me over until our next game and into the offseason. But what I really want for Hanukkah is another big win against a good team in a bowl with a decent amount of national attention.
AND THAT'S WHY I VOTED TAVIAN BANKS FIRST TEAM ALL CONFERENCE
THANK YOU.

Um.
Given that NU only had a single second team water boy get noticed, it looks like the rest of the league and the writers wonder how we lost to them, also. Ugghh.
Mr. Boh Knows ...
*raises hand*
Oh! OH! I know, I know!
We kept giving them the ball until they managed to score a some points. And then we did it again.
