The toughest of the tough teams are my favorites.
Whether it is Madden or Phil Simms, the specialty type all-star teams are fun.
Especially when the players have to be old-school tough.
Tennessee junior offensive tackle Ramon Foster is one of those type players.
The 6-6, 325 junior from Ripley High in Henning, Tennessee was the only member of the Vols to make the 24-man 2007 All-Mayday Team, which was announced by ESPN analyst Mark May during Capital One Bowl Week on the all sports network.
The All-Mayday Team is a team of college football's "Toughest of the Tough" and includes each position on the offensive and defensive sides of the ball.
Foster started all 14 games and was an instrumental part in Tennessee leading the Football Bowl Sub-Division in fewest sacks allowed with four. He suffered a broken thumb in pregame before Vanderbilt contest, but still played entire game and did not miss any snaps the rest of the regular season. Foster plays both tackle and guard positions.
In his career, Foster has played 32 games with 16 starts, earning freshman All-SEC honors in 2005 by the league coaches. He started at left guard in collegiate debut against UAB. He won the Harvey Robinson Award for most improved player offensive player in spring practice twice (2005 and 2007).
Former Vol defensive tackle Justin Harrell made the team in 2006.
But what about Jarod Mayo and freshman safety Eric Berry?
Mayo made 80 solo and 60 assisted tackles in 2007. And Berry was fourth on the team in tackles with 85.
The complete All-Mayday team is listed below.

RB Mike Viti, Army; Thomas Brown, Georgia; Tashard Choice, Georgia Tech
