Eli Gillman - Big Sky offense MVP

[mousegriz1]

Wonder what the vote difference between Lamson and Wortham was for new comer?
Both very deserving!

How was Wortham a newcomer?

I really didn’t know if he would be considered or not.

Craig Haley should be band from the Walter Payton award.

Without Wortham, he would have struggled.

Without Lamson, Davis Jones, and Dowler would have struggled. You can say that about pretty much any outstanding player. Give it a break.

Now of course Hailey is all butt hurt, yet still refuses to explain himself or the process.

All the more reason UM does not belong as an fcs program

Baloney. That dude has nothing to do with whether UM belongs in FCS football.

So who is in charge of Payton awards? Reading Hailey picks noms, but who pays for trophy, organizes votes, invites top finalists and plans award ceremony etc. There must be some people in charge to complain to about his pathetic decision to not have the BSC. MVP as a nominee. Maybe the media (Colter this is your mission) can get to the bottom of it and finally expose that asshat to the powers above.

1,000+ yard rusher last year without Wortham. Gonna break all rushing records with only one year with Wortham. Struggled is probably not the correct word. First two years, he was only touching the ball 12 times a game as well. Better argument is Wortham (and Davis and Bohanan and Deck and Gale and Ah Yat’s great decision making ability and accuracy) were great compliments to Gillman’s incredible ability to perform at an elite level this season.

How did the Griz do last year with Gillman and no Wortham?

He wasn't

How did the Griz do last year with Gillman and no Wortham?

You were talking about Gillman’s individual performance. Now you’re scrambling with talking about team performance. Two different things. Fact is that Gillman’s performed at a very high level last year without Wortham, without a more mature All Big Sky level QB. Coaches voted him MVP for a reason. They all based their defensive game plan around stopping him and he still leads the league in almost every rushing category. Spin it all you want. Nothing will change.

And yet…bozo fans think he’d be #3 down there…
