CFB players that were bigger than the game.

What made me think of this topic was watching these documentaries that are on tonight.

Todd Marinovich and The Boz

I think you could add Johnny Manziel to this list as well.

Let's hear some more names.... the stories and see some pics.

My cousin had the Boz haircut and I was so jealous. We were both 12. He got it and my Mom wouldn't let me get it.

I got the Land of Boz poster though.

Gotta add Hershel and Bo right?

Hopefully you have since thanked her for that.

Hopefully you have since thanked her for that.

Man that would have made for some great family photos though.

because I think we're talking about perception not stats.

When your Mom can't name a player in the game but can tell you about a players on field performance and off field doings, they qualify as bigger than the game.

And the question is a great one. How does it happen?

Some people just have that it where American robots must follow their every move.

I was that way with Tebow and still am.
