There really isn't such a thing as a valid opinion/ non valid opinion. They are just that opinions. Unfortunatly Kirk a fan vote in this type of situation really wouldn't work for a few reasons. 1 is the shear number of fans per each team. I'm sure there were a good number of Abilene fans that would have voted for Ross, whereas a good number of Desoto fans who would have voted for Neil. Now you wanna talk about politics there is a good example. Honestly from all the controversy that these awards and the stupid rankings cause I see good reason to get rid of both of them but thats just me. I do however applogize to toadsmack for my overzealous remark about your "opinion" I just prefer people to accept whomever may have won the award and forego the arguement conversation will in the end serves no purpose.
