Who Was Unt's Player Of The Decade ?

UNTLifer · December 14, 2009

Wasn't he billed as the great hope for improving a dismal kicking game when we signed him? I guess it's not the guy before Knott.

Didn't Knott replace Bazaldua? If so, we were far from dismal with Baz.

I'll go with Booger for POD, and agree with FFR on PC only having one good year.

Nice list. Makes me feel like Rip Van Winkle. Those teams and these were in the same decade????? Feels like so long ago.

Esteban over your Randle/Turney duo...maybe Jeremiah Chapman over Daniels.

Esteban, maybe.

You are crazy on Chapman over Daniels.

Good memories here, remember in 2001, the last two MTSU plays resulted in:

Sack, Adrian Awasom

Sack, Darrell Daniels

Good catch.

Blount was a MUCH better reciever, and was perfect in the H Back/pass catching TE role, but Muenchow was a monster blocker and all around more well rounded.

Bonus points for the best QB rating in the history of histories and a cumulative GPA of 3.3 finishing TWO degrees.

He also completed 2-of-3 passes with two touchdowns for a career pass efficiency rating of 407.1. Cobbs averaged 21.0 yards on 35 kickoff returns during his career.
Cobbs was named to the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America second team after compiling a 3.3 cumulative GPA during his career. He earned two undergraduate degrees at North Texas—a Bachelor’s in applied arts and Science and a Bachelor’s in sociology.

Booger was a man-beast on the field, but I give mad props for the incredible achievements Cobbs had in every aspect of his playing and academic career.

(slightly off topic, but worth mentioning?)

I thought about putting Blount/Muenchow/Gardner down.

Hopovac kicked for us after Baz. I don't remember if Steve Woodward ever saw the field for us or who kicked in 2007, but there should have been at least one other placekicker I can't remember between Baz and Knott.
