Saw a Will Ferrell scene tonight that cracked my ass up. Watched this terrible Land of the Lost movie and he is getting bitten by a prehistoric mosquito that bleeds his ass dry while he's trying to play a guitar.

Never saw that, is it any good?

This kind of stupid **** cracks me up and I hope it always will.

 

[SDV]

That was ok, not gut splitting

No, it's not.

Herschel is the greatest collegiate player that I have ever seen play the game at any position.

 

[StoVol]

Bo Jackson beat him to death if you're going by that measure

He was even more impressive on those old nfl challenge shows that came on Sunday's....he would dominate the weight lifting and outrun the wrs and defensive backs.

They were very similar in college but I would take herscel over Bo in college.

 

[StoVol]

I can respect that. But if you were picking first and left Bo on the table by picking walker, Id have no problem with that.

I hate Bo Jackson's injury......I loved watching him play in the pros.

So, was the documentary a two parter?

No. It's an hour long I believe

If we're talking strictly college football, Bo Jackson couldn't hold Herschel's jock strap.

Herschel Walker is arguably the best college football player of all-time.

Bo is arguably the best pure athlete of all-time.

 

[TuskALoosa]

My favorite part is where they found him passed out in his garage with the car running.

Id say Herschel Walker & Tommy Frazier are the two best in my lifetime. I even think Id take Frazier a tad over Walker but either one is a STUD.

Frazier over Herschel.....are you kidding me?

 

[hndog609]

Frazier over Herschel.....are you kidding me?

Yeah, I'd be putting, just to name one, Barry Sanders in the mix before Frazier. (which is no slight to Frazier)

 

[DeepSpringsVol]

Yes he was just as formidable for collegiate as Herschel. Barry Sanders could be considered most dominant player for a season. His numbers are ungodly in that 88 season. Tommy Frazier continuously moved chains and when biggest games he played at higher level. Now all is opinion anyhow so I dont expect anyone to agree with me as an arguement could be made for about 20 players that would be nice to clone.

I.M. Hipp
J.C. Watts
Tommy Frazier

But way above them are three fellas named
Walker
Jackson
Tebow

and a couple fellas named George Webster and Charles Bubba Smith

Edit: and dont forget that there was a dude named Jim Brown that says he was better than all of them combined on his worst day.

Couldn't hold his jock strap? Laughable. Wouldn't I'd say.

For anyone wanting to educate themselves on comparing quantity vs quality concerning sec rushing, here are some numbers which don't compare jockstraps. Compares all kinds of variables including games against top 25, games with 20 or more rushes, Jackson had the fewest. Number of tds per rush, etc
Critical statistic... Bo had 300 less rushing attempts, but only 800 fewer total yds.. Walkers 5.1 against Bo's 6.4 times 300 more carries would give him 1800 more which pulverizes the career rushing record. Walker had 33 games of at least 20 carries and McFadden had 21 games, compared to Bo Jackson’s 12 games.

Bo Jackson Or Herschel Walker
