Rival Players you Liked
« on: April 15, 2026, 11:47:27 PM »
The thread that might make you throw up in your mouth a little bit, but an opportunity to admit some truths.

I really liked Tennessee LB Al Wilson.  He was really good and fast.  Wearing 27 was unique.  They had really good LB corps around his time.

I liked FSU RB Greg Jones.  He was super jacked and ran over people.  He probably got too jacked, tbh.  Kind of like David Boston did at OSU.  Cared more about looking ripped than being a great football player.
Peter Warrick was also a human highlight on the field.  I didn't like him, but I liked watching him.

For Georgia, I liked LB Randall Godfrey for some reason.  I know Bowers got tons of pub, deservedly so, but I really liked TE Ben Watson for them.  I think he played a lot on New England and is on TV now.  He was really good.

God forgive me, I liked both Tua Tagovailoa and Bryce Young.  I didn't want to, but I did.  

I kinda liked Tebow when he played.  His relentless optimism and cheery attitude made him hard to keep a grudge against.

Texas A&M-- Linebacker Dat Nguyen.  Heck of a player, team guy, high motor.  I really liked and respected him.

Oklahoma-- Quarterback Sam Bradford.  Really good player, good leader, and by many accounts a decent all around guy.

But be honest-- you liked watching Knute Rockne play even more, right?

Mario Manningham was someone I hated playing so much, I maybe liked him. Respected a ton anyway. 

Minnesota? Have to think on that.

Oh yeah sounds familiar.  Without looking it up, I think I recognize his name from the NFL rather than college football.
