Ryan Aplin, QB, Arkansas State |
Here is my pre-season Sun Belt Teams for 2012, I want
to congratulate all players that made it to my first ever selections. I also
want to congratulate my offensive and defensive players of the year.
We all know that the head coach of UL-Lafayette
deserves appreciation for the hard work that he has done at UL-Lafayette, and
took his time to a post season bowl game and defeated MWC member San Diego
State.
My runner up coach of the year is Willie Taggart, the
head coach at Western Kentucky. Coach Taggart made sufficient improvements at
WKU in the past two years and I congratulate him in a improved 7-5 season. I
was disappointed that WKU was not selected for post season play; I want to say
to all of my pre-season teams and coaches, Congratulations!
