I am a bit concerned about a touch of home cooking going on.

I went to the site and voted for Ms Burse; when the poll came up, it claimed that only one vote had been given to her. Since I would have expected BMT to have already voted, since he had posted this thing in the first place (unless he voted for someone else... :wink: ), I wonder where my vote went. :?
What if the Hokey Pokey really is what it's all about?

If J Burse doesnt win I can live with that, no matter what I feel -

But even LSU fans and the casual fan of any college football has to vote for FORTE!

Dont they :?:

I vote for Aaron Feldman who played baseball at Tulane from 1999 to 2003.

*Aaron is my son. Aaron hit Tulane's first Home Run this decade, vs. San Diego State on February 12, 2000.

Forte leading by a healthy margin. J-Burse is in second behind Augusta. They do have Sylvia Fowles with the women's poll though...

how is dorsey getting that many votes? he's been nothing more than a draft bust and done absolutely nothing in the NFL. in fact, a couple months ago there was an article on foxsports.com about how drafting an LSU player in the 1st round is a guaranteed draft bust going by recent trends.

Forte should clearly win this.

The poll is about college football and not the NFL so that is not part of this.

I dont see Dorsey play each week but 50 tackles from the DT spot as a rookie isnt bad at all and he has missed a couple games.

just to compare for giggles -
Compare that to the Vikings two studs who have 30/44 tackles - the difference comes from that those two have 8sacks combined and dorsey has zero. If you want to compare - Warren Sapp averaged 48 tackles per year w/ 8 sacks per.
Also, the type of system dictates your role and if they want you to attack the QB... plus sacks should come with NFL experience - he is a solid ball player - really solid

either way - MATT FORTE should wins this easily - and he deserves it!

I don't think the vote is for anything other than their college career ("Vote for the best male college athlete of the decade").

I vote "other", for Jacob Hester.

Krewe, you are awesome! It is very easy to lump a players entire career into something like this especially when it is someone you follow. Plus, when I 1st read it I thought of Fortes ROOKIE season in my head :wink:

Thanks for the "other" stuff by the way - you are a great supporter of Tulane!

yes it is, but it will also be factored in (maybe) into the TP Male Athlete of the Decade which would be huge for TULANE to win and be able to show the State we had the best player - Dumb internet poll = yes, but it still will matter to US TULANE fans who will be smacked and snubbed from do credit. But i guess we have to WIN before we can complain :?:

I agree with djh on the LSU fan count, but it also proves that Matt impresses fans of all teams to a degree. If this was strictly a mirror of fan count, then Dorsey would lead by more than 45% to 36%.
