Auburn should make a generous donation to the AFCA if necessary.

I guess I'll ask this here......in my head, Penn State had a split of the NC in 1994.  I know they didn't for some reason, but they so easily should have, that I count it.  And I've counted it for so long, I include them automatically when listing such things.



Am I the only one who does that?



If you wonder about 2004 Auburn, it's not the same to me, but I don't know why.  Maybe because USC destroyed a very good OU team that year?  Anyway, how do you all consider them?
Nah, I’m the exact same way.  Whenever I’m running through a list of past national champions in my head my first instinct is to always include Penn St because I felt like they deserved one.  I have to remind myself they didn’t actually win either poll that season.  And, no, for whatever reason it’s not the same for Auburn and I don’t know why either.

I'd be too boring... the anti-Skip Bayless.  I'd be prudent and have support for my claims.  That would earn me some low ratings, I'm sure.
Why start that shit now? ;D Well we could have MDoT next to you doing the color,I'm sure when word got out it'd be a windfall.Couldn't do worse than the empty vessels they shove out there now.Gary Danielson for instance,guy should have some dignity and wipe Saban's cack off of his chin already

Well there used to be some pride taken in saying something and then hearing the announcer echo the exact same thing moments later.  I've found, though, that this almost always happens while explaining what's happening to someone who doesn't know football.

Random Revelation:
In his big year of 1988, Barry Sanders averaged 7.6 yards per carry, but only 5.6 yards per reception.  

That's crazy.

He had 19, but the Cowpokes did have a good passing game that year, throwing for over 2,000 yds.



For a 2,000 yard rusher, 19 receptions was quite a lot.  Many had single-digit reception totals.  BC's Andre Williams actually had ZERO receptions in his 2,000 yard season and Dayne had just 1 in his SR season.

The receptions leaders among 2,000 yard rushing seasons:
2015 Christian McCaffrey (45 rec) - Stanford
2002 Larry Johnson (41 rec) - Penn St
1981 Marcus Allen (34 rec) - USC


Far more had below 19 than over it.

Barry Sanders' QB in 1988 was . . . ta-dah!  Current Cowboy HFC Mike "Mullett" Gundy.

Hart Lee Dykes was a good target at WR, and I recall they had a decent TE w a mullet.

Hart Lee Dykes!  I was just mentioning him to my wife today, as we were listening to his old Cowboy head coach Pat Jones on the radio.

How many recruits manage to see three schools get slapped with probation over their recruitment of him?  Hart Lee Dykes did--OU, fOSU, and SMU all got penalized for the manner in which they recruited him.

I loved the towel he wore on his waist with the Heart.    He was right out of central casting as far as the attention seeking primadonna donna WR. He wasn't all-time elite, but he was a playmaker.
