Bo was/is a freak. Nothing but respect for that guy.

One of the all time greats. I wish he would have worn crimson.

Who will have a better NFL career? Bo Jackson or Bo Scarborough?

Gotta go with BoScar here. Bright future for him.

Bo should have gone to Alabama. /thread


Biggest recruiting fail in Bama history.....Bo was a Bama fan but Bear told him he wouldn't start as a freshman so he chose Auburn instead....Guess ol' Bear was getting old at that point and was slippin' a little

Over time this has turned into one of the great SEC history debates ….which one was better – Walker or Jackson….


Agreed.

At one time, I would have argued "Herschel is great, no doubt. But I dont see him stealing 40 bases a year, hitting bombs, or running up the center field wall-ALL THE WAY UP THE WALL- to rob a home run."

Then on the other, I also dont see Bo right now looking like a 50 year old Mike Tyson about to pound George St Pierre in MMA

If you're at all familiar with the BoScar situation you would know that he ain't Bo Jackson.

I can't wait. I was born an Alabama fan, went to Alabama, and will always be an Alabama fan, but Bo Jackson is my favorite athlete of all time.

I was a kid in the eighties and and came to really appreciate sports from around 1985 - 1992 when he was in his prime.

I wore the Bo Jackson Nike Cross-trainers and everything. I'll be sure to record this one.

Very excited to watch this. I remember reading his book Bo Knows Bo when I was a kid. Even as an Alabama fan he is the reason I became a Raiders fan as a kid and have stayed true to this day.

The world was cheated out of its chance to watch the entire career of its greatest athlete the day he destroyed his hip. It always amazed me that he was the sized of a full back, and actually played FB some, yet had the speed he had.

Does his 40 time record still stand at the combine? I know it was stopwatch timed and not laser but still, the fact that he is even in the ballpark given his size seems impossible.

I had an uncle that worked at a sporting goods store in Mobile that would hook me up with the latest every time they came out. I had several pair including some super light weight, neon green ones. They didn't match anything, but I wore them none the less.

frick yeah, I had those too. It was pretty funny wearing those white shoes with the blue and orange stripes and trim and then rocking the Bama tshirts.

Saw Bo play in the Cotton Bowl, and also saw him hit a 460 foot home run off Nolan Ryan at old Arlington Stadium. Greatest athelet ever, as far as I'm concerned.
