This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Historical perspective on that by luckymcd

In the last 112 seasons, only nine teams had offensive linemen that lined up next to each other both named consensus first team All-American. It happened almost every year before that, because at that time All-American basically meant All-Ivy League. Those teams are:

1909 Yale (Unanimous national champions)
LT Henry Hobbs
LG Hamlin Andrus
C Carroll Cooney

1927 Yale (National champions by 1 of 11 selectors)
LG Bill Webster
C John Charlesworth

1934 Pitt (National champions by 1 of 14 selectors)
C George Shotwell
RG Chuck Hartwig

1943 Notre Dame (Unanimous national champions)
LT Jim White
LG Pat Filley

1944 Navy (Lost to #1 Army by 16 in #1 vs. #2 matchup to end season)
LT Don Whitmire
LG Ben Chase

1947 Notre Dame (Consensus national champions)
LT George Connor
LG Bill Fischer

1994 Nebraska (Consensus national champions)
RG Brenden Stai
RT Zach Wiegert

2012 Alabama (Consensus national champions)
LG Chance Warmack
C Barrett Jones

2017 Notre Dame (Lost to #2 Georgia by 1, #13 Miami by 33, and #20 Stanford by 18, #11 final ranking)
LT Mike McGlinchey
LG Quenton Nelson

7 of the 9 teams garnered at least partial national championship mention, the 8th played in a defacto national championship game, the 9th lost three games, two to teams outside the top 10, both by more than 17.
