Does anyone do All-Conf teams the correct way around here?

It seems like Illinois has a mandatory, Bernie Sanders like, everybody gets a trophy style all-conf/state team process that blurs competition and ensures no one is offended.

I grew up on the USA Today style, 1st Team, 2nd team, 3rd team, honorable mention structure that created separation and acknowledgement. It seems like all-conf and all-state teams in Illinois take the the top names regardless of position and lump them into a single "All-category" team.

I seem to remember over the last couple of years seeing 10 RBs, 8 QBs, 4 DBs, 6 LBs and 3 OL and 3 DL all into one team.

Does anyone around here do an 11O/11D member structure for their all-conference/state teams?

I grew up in Northern Virginia and every year Washington Post does their All-Met teams in this structure culling from teams in DC, MD and Northern Va. Huge honor. They throw a big dinner for the 1st teamers in all sports by season.

I never made any but had teammates that did and everyone ate it up. I can't even imagine if we had twitter to facilitate the trash talk. We had to do it all in person.
