Check out this link. www.gogreenbay.com/sports/sports.html?article=124661This guy can use any stats he wants, but there is no way that he can honestly say that Mendiburu out played Woods. This guy obviously only watched the last game of the season. IMO Woods was a very good PG this year and rran the team very well.

That is just a terrible piece of journalism IMO. It may be fine for an editorial column, but an article....... I agree with his argument that Coach B inherited two very good players in Hollins and Doliboa, but other than those two, they had NO ONE! He was forced to coach the youngest team in America (literally), and had no sophmores and juniors on the squad. Anytime you can get freshman to play considerable minutes and win games throughout the course of the entire season you are doing something right. Sure, GB wasn't loaded with talent, but they at least had players who were somewhat familiar with the college game. IMO both Mendiburu and Woods are good players, but Woods got the recognition he deserved. He ran the team well and scored a little when needed. I am not taking anything away from Mendiburu, as he is a good player, but using all the games against UWM as a baseline, I was more impressed with Woods.

That is just a terrible piece of journalism IMO. It may be fine for an editorial column, but an article....... It was a column (albeit a horribly written column) ... not an article. Here's another homer-esque column ... this one from Green Bay's biggest homer of them all (and a useless tool to boot): www.greenbaypressgazette.com/sports/archive/sports_14991820.shtmlAlso, can somebody explain to me why Mendiburu deserved to be on the all-newcomer team? After seeing him play twice, I just don't understand what was so special about him. I cheered everytime UWGB put him back in the game because it guaranteed two turnovers and a couple of charging calls to go UWM's way.
