The surprising part is that Brady Quinn is not the QB and Jeff Samardizja is not a WR. But most are saying that ND players are not allowed to attend the week's festivities and frolic with the bunnies, so Playboy won't select any ND players. Sounds about right I guess.

Notre Dame players were the most frequently chosen Playboy All-Americans in the old days, but you never saw an Ohio State player, because Woody Hayes wouldn't allow them to participate... Troy Smith? He's another one who wouldn't even be a QB in the Pac10... Garrett Wolfe of Northern Illinois the best RB. Say what? Is Dwayne Jarrett of USC elligible? I thought he went to jail? H.B. Blades of Pitt a 1st team AA LB? Isn't he the same guy whom the Irish chewed up, stomped on and who begged to be taken out of the game in last year's opener? The only good thing about this list, is that its probably better than Athlon's will be when it comes out...
Tis true, Woody didn't want his innocent young studs anywhere near those wicked temptresses.... Re: Troy Smith.....contrary to the most sincere wishes of BobDa, I'm damn glad he ain''t in the Pac10. The kid is a gamer who has shown his mettle in the biggest of games under the most trying of circumstances. He's turned in to an outstanding college QB and in fact, if you took DDog's favorite Pac10 QB, he'd be riding the pine in in our system in Columbus behind young Mr Smith. Let's not forget his backup, Zwick was as coveted as any of the Cali hotshots when he was recruited. I think we'll keep him! :wink: Terry
