agreed, he was a monster. 

congrats to all the guys but I'm a little shocked to see Wyatt Stiehl and Zach Liebler get zero recognition.  Stiehl is third in TD receptions in the conference and is a big time blocking TE and nobody ever throws at Liebler.  I'd say stats matter, but...uh

I had similar reaction to Stiehl being left off.

I love Thanksgiving and all, but man, is this not the weirdest game week of the year? bye week, followed by Monday-Tuesday feeling like Thursday-Friday.  Feels like the Raiders should be kicking off tomorrow

VK is going to be a big time FCS HC in no time.

At a minimum VK is on deck to be paid 7 figures to be a DC at a P4.  People can make nepo jokes but VK can flat out coach.  Toledo sucked on defense before he got there.  And as has been mentioned for Thanksgiving purposes he has a ring so gets a prime seat at the main table.

His 2016 coaching job needs to be studied - Mount had essentially a brand new roster and Mount went to the semis and lost to a team who ended up being ineligible.

VK has always been a great coach who stepped into "impossible to fill" shoes in his dad and kinda filled them. No one is Larry, but he did a great job given all the circumstances. Taking Mount to the semi's in 20116 was really impressive.  The whole "...lost to a team who ended up being ineligible." thing is a bit besides the point. The CRU had a great team that year and I'm pretty sure they would have been just as great had the violation not occurred.
