Athlon Sports has honored three Blue Raider football players on its preseason All-Sun Belt Conference team.

 

Athlon's college football preview edition hits newsstands this week and honors Middle Tennessee's Brandon Westbrook, Julius Gant, and Robert Billings as All-Conference performers.

 

Billings solidified his reputation as one of the Sun Belt's top punters with an average of 42.6 yards per kick in 2002, good enough to place him second in single season average. He also set a school record with a 56.5 average against New Mexico State, which included a career-long 68-yarder. Billings was listed on the Football Writers Association of American All-America Watch List and the Ray Guy Award list. He went on to earn First Team All-Sun Belt honors.

 

Billings' Bio

 

Football season will get underway when the team reports for fall camp on July 31. After a newly instated five-day acclimation period, the team will begin team workouts on August 7. The Blue Raiders will kick off the 2003 campaign on Thursday, August 28 in Floyd Stadium against Florida Atlantic.

      $750,000 Lawsuit Files Against Warren County School District

      I don't know what's going on in the town of McMinnville, but I've read this and it's disturbing.  I'm a "player" person, and I want what's best for the player. If a player gets cut off the team because she said the "F word" then good grief. I mean, come on guys. I wish there was a way for the player to transfer to a different program and just play ball. There are a lot of athletes that are stuck because they're in crappy situations regarding their team/coach. This is player just happens to be one them.

      Won't happen. College coaches will back the coach every time and it cost this young lady her senior season. Looks like the player may be right on this one. School let her  go after one season. This stuff happens more than you think.

      “No college is going to offer a scholarship to a player that is kicked off of the team.” For language? I’m not seeing that as a dealbreaker.

      Why did the coach get rehired after she was let go as an assistant by the former Warren County coach and the current AD?? Is that accurate?? I am very familiar with situations like this. Suprised lawsuits haven't happend before. If the coach unfairly let the player go, I think she has a shot because it cost her a scholarship. No college is going to offer a scholarship to a player that is kicked off of the team. Not going to happen. There are bad hires like this a bunch and kids are treated unfairly by coaches that can't coach a lick and have super long ropes somehow. Amazing how some of these coaches get hired and keep their job.
