Derrick Thomas is not in the College Football’s Hall of Fame.
Normally, a phrase along these lines would match up accordingly with absurdities such as “the sky isn’t blue,” “water isn’t wet,” “beer isn’t delicious” and “tacos are overrated.”
The problem, however, is that Derrick Thomas really isn’t in CFB’s shrine as of now. There’s no good reason for this, either, not when you recall what the late, great Alabama pass-rushing machine did in his time at Tuscaloosa. He wasn't just a great defensive player, he was a transcendent talent who is all over college football's record books.
And yet, he's not in the sport's most exclusive club.
That could change this year. On Thursday, the National Football Foundation released the ballot for this year’s College Football Hall of Fame, and Thomas was one of 75 former players included. This is the fourth season he is eligible for election, although he fell short—somehow—in the first three.

Chuck Oliver says it's because his last name is too far down the list. He's already picked 15 by the time he gets to the names that start with "T".

He made it to Canton before he made it to Atlanta.

few players have ever dominated a 'big time' opponent like he did vs Penn State at Legion Field in 1988. Holy Smokes !
