What took so long to get Dickerson in?

[bamachine 1231]

Probably the false belief that he is the only guy to get paid.

Exactly what I thought when I saw this thread.

[Thetexashammer 1062]

David Pollack? What the fuck? 

[VirginiaLonghorn 4921]

Cade McNown ... Rout 66

[Jkwellborn 7081]

Obviously the bar is pretty damn low for the College Hall of Fame.

Disagreement on which TransAm the Hall would display.

Crouch was the last of a dying breed, (players that win at Nebraska)...

 

[mulletpelini 5228]

That mfer got hit and hit and hit and just kept getting up.  Very underappreciated for his durability to stay healthy 3 or 4 years he played.

[Huckleberry 34767]

Did Crouch ever pitch to his left? I seem to remember that he never did. That's not to take anything away from him, either. Vince Young juked to his right like 95% of the time if he had one guy in the open field and people never seemed to figure it out.

Never underestimate the power of spurned aggy

[mulletpelini 5228]

If he ran left, he kept it.  Just ask Iowa.

Well, he did - by his own admission - steal the Lombardi from Derrick Johnson.

He's a dick.

I've followed college football closely for more than thirty years, since I was a young boy. I can remember walk-ons, the scores of random games from 1990, who was on Sports Illustrated preseason magazine covers, who Beano Cook picked to win the national title in a random year, etc etc etc.

And yet if you told me that David Pollack had been programmed into the Matrix at some point in the last five years, that prior to that he'd never existed in any form or fashion ever before, I'd kind of believe you. 

It's so fucking weird that the guy played major college football at a high level during a period time when I was following it closely and yet I have no recollection of him prior to seeing him on ESPN on morning and thinking, "where'd they get this chucklehead?". 

[Jkwellborn 7081]

Played DE for Uga didn’t he? I don’t remember ever being overly impressed with him while he was playing.

[ImissWallyPryor 9046]

He won 2 Hendricks and a Lombardi (which, I repeat, he did not deserve).

Then you weren’t paying attention. David Pollock was a badass LB in his day; at his size/strength maybe not so much today but he was a tackling machine.

 

and like him or not, Eric Dickerson was a total, complete bad motherfucker at both the college and NFL levels. He’s a legit HOF in both, anyone who thinks any different never saw him play, is a moron, or both....
