All-Decade Team: 1980s
« on: October 08, 2025, 07:47:20 PM »
Let's try something.  Yes, this belongs in the offseason, but whatever.

This is not 'Nam, this is bowling, there are rules.
WHAT TO DO:  You quote the post above yours and add ONE and ONLY ONE player to the team.

After 25 posts, the thread is closed and we have an all-decade team.
Got it?

has to be Herschel Walker at RB1 and that's the only valid answer, then debate rages at RB2 but I'm taking Barry Sanders.

Barry was a better RB and had the greatest single season any RB has ever and will ever have- but Herschel was 1,600+ yards and 15+ TD's for 3 years straight in the SEC- true frosh to jr year- just banging out All-American seasons. you doing an all-decade team- that matters. Barry had one insane year- Herschel Walker had 3 awesome years.

This is great - like a baseball lineup.  No one person can exceed the input of anyone else.

Walker played 3 years, ending in 1982.

Here in 2025, no other SEC RB has run for as many yards, even in 4 seasons.  43 years.  An extra season.  
No one has come within 500 yards of him (490, specifically).

It's obscene.
