Go ahead and break down his game and show me where I'm wrong.

Well for starters he wasn't particularly fast. And he had a very good season at Ohio State as a freshman, but it's not like his numbers would have suggested he'd be one of the greatest RB's of all-time.

Is that Teo’s “gf” uncle?

The fake one?

Yeah. I know the Detroit Tigers had a guy named Tuiasosopo who was the fake gf’s cousin.

Yet he is routinely regarded as one of the biggest "stars that didn't fulfill their potential" in all of sports, and usually at or near the very top in college football. I wonder why that is.

That's his bro, so yeah, they are cousins I guess. I thought Matt was going to be a decent ball player.

Good for him making those lists. I wouldn't say they are wrong. It also doesn't mean he would have been one of the best RB's of all-time. I don't think the work ethic was there, and like I said there was nothing about his season that was historic, other than being the leading rusher on a team that won the title.

But it was for Ohio State which automatically makes it historic.

Good point. I can see why he thinks Clarett would be one of the best RB's of all-time, considering he thought JT Barrett was a 2nd/3rd round talent or whatever it was.

Player - Jimmy Conzelman
Coach - Weeb Eubank

That's all I could find...never watched a football game at school and don't remember talking to anybody who had.
Cornell Foggie was an outstanding baseball player when I was there, but he didn't last long in the pros.

I gotta call you out on this one.....

......how on earth could you not include George Webster and Bubba Smith?

Also.... Lorenzo White, Brad Van Pelt, Percy Snow, and Andre Rison probably deserve honorable mention.

Alex Smith
Eric wedell
Scott Mitchell

Go Utes!

It was mostly a joke. Was just waiting for someone to call me out for Kirk Gibson.

Gee, no shit. If only I'd of made mention of the mental aspect of it not being there. Oh wait, I did.

Of course it doesn't mean he definitely would have. I made a comment and you had to jump all over it unprovoked. I watched every game and to this day have seen very, very few RBs who could do what he could at all, let alone when they were 18 years old.

Because it was a pretty ridiculous statement. If he would have had a historic season, I wouldn't have, but plenty of freshman have put up better seasons.

HM: Maurice Clarett - If he had his head screwed on right, we'd be talking about one of the greatest RBs of all-time. As a freshman, he was a man among boys.

Your joking about that honorable mention BS right? The dude didn’t even finish in the top 20 in rushing that year. He was, as stated before “the leading rusher on the National Champion.”

It is for someone like you who didn't watch him. He missed two games and was injured for most of 2 others, and he still wound up with 18 TDs. He was absolutely dominant. His strip of Sean Taylor was one of the top plays of the decade, and was a pretty remarkable football play in general.

Again, it's not just me saying he was one of the biggest talents wasted in sports history.

Cool. I don't recall asking your opinion.

An I don’t recall anyone asking for BS honorable mentions yet that still didn’t stop you.

It's a thread on top 3 players from your team and several other posters had posted honorable mentions. Calm your pussy, Mary.

I did watch him. I realized he missed a couple games. He made a great play in the title game, key word being play. And yes, he did waste his talent, just not one of the greatest of all-time talents. I mean he ran a fucking 4.7 at the combine or something like that. lol.

Name the top 3 players ever at your school.
