Metz nominated for best performance

It's important that fans vote in stuff like this for brand awareness if not for anything else. Just "like" his pic. https://www.facebook.com/allstatesugarbowl/photos/?tab=album&album_id=10157537449140459

Incidentally, Metz needs a nickname. Does anyone know if he is related to Leon Metz? If so, his nickname should be the Pistol.

Metz is Leon Metz's grandson. Ryan "The Pistol" Metz? Too close to the BAggies mascot's name...How about "Miracle" Metz? or M&M for short...

Doesn't he already go by the nickname Opie? That's what his Twitter handle says also.

Like I said, he needs a nickname. Frankly, the ones submitted are uninspired.

Great, great win for the Miners. I am glad the football team has one for their history books in the post modern era other than the basketball team. Metz is the real deal and has potential to make money on Sundays, IMO. His poise is awesome, has guts and competitiveness that can actually get himself and the team in trouble (like he did at La Tech trying to take on the safety who had an angle on him. He does no good for the team sitting on the training table). He has a good arm and is way, way more accurate than Greenlee or Kavika. You can see his confidence and improvement every game. No doubt in my mind he can play for any top ten program.

I hope this past Saturday wasn't a tease by Kugler and his staff.
