Clinch it with a big game against A&M. We will let Tyanthony out of the cage to wreak havoc on lil’ bro and send  em home crying.

My guy! He's going to earn it on Friday. That was one of his goals this year and what better game to clinch it! Let's go! Story lines couldn't be any better for this game!

It should be down toHill and the kid from Tech.  If TT played the same level of comp as Texas i think Hill walks away with it, but if your looking at plain stats its hard to argue.

Definitely think the kid from tech takes it home. Though they really play nobody compared to our level of competition.

Some damn good LBs in this group. Agent 0 is the best of all of them in my opinion, just look what his impact was when he was out last week. Whether he wins or not, definitely deserves it in my book!!

Agree. I'd give a slot nod to Rodriguez.

IMHO Hill should have won the award last year.  He was playing lights out last year (this year too).
