Most have probably seen the awards from the Football Banquet on Sat. here's the article; http://www.goeags.com/news/2016/1/31/FB_0131165028.aspx?path=football" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
When reading this something came to mind about what Ranger said in the recruiting thread, "The backbone of the program will always be blue collar kids from Washington...but you're not going to win a lot of games just recruiting in-state". It looks to be true looking at the award winners.
