For the 2008 college football season Oklahoma produced a Coach of the Year award, 9 all-conference first team members and 3 individual award winners. So why am I a little frustrated? Look at the awards and see if you can figure it out. My questions will follow.

A tie in voting created an additional offensive line spot on the first- and second-teams.
[r1] - Repeat first team selection from last season
**Unanimous Selection

Why do we need two Coaches of the Year? Either give it to Stoops or Leach but not both! I bleed Crimson and Cream but I honestly would give it to Leach.

Why are there 16 players on offense? Yes, I know that two of them are kick and punt returners but that still leaves 14 which is clearly 3 too many. Have we reached the point where we are afraid to offend someone by leaving a player off? Have coaches protest and constant complaining reached so far that we really can’t come up with the 11 best offensive players in the conference?

Why are there 14 players on defense? See above argument!

Where is Brian Jackson? I’ll admit that he probably isn’t a first teamer but he’s got to be a second teamer, right?

How does the offensive lineman of the year not make the first team offense? This is my biggest complaint and the real reason that I am fired up. How does this team have any credibility at all? There’s even six offensive linemen on the team for crying out loud! Out of 14 players on offense they couldn’t find room for the offensive lineman of the year.
