how many NC's UF would have if you had all those running backs?


Well your greatest RB in history went 0-3 vs UGA and failed to score a TD.

Umm only 2 losses (one as a replacement starter as Fr at Doak Campbell) in his career a NC and a Heisman say he didn't.

Revisionist and uninformed about Gino I take it. You probably think the strip of Thomas in Sugar Bowl counted also as a TD.

QB was plug-n-play at da U at that time. Any QB in the top 25 could have had much the same or better results on THOSE Miami teams.

FWIW - I thought Hearst should have won the Heisman that went to Marshall Faulk. Their numbers that season were remarkably similar and Hearst did it against a much higher level of competition.

I know that Faulk went on to be an all-timer in the NFL but, the Heisman is for the best player in CFB which, in that season, was Garrison Hearst.




Marshall Faulk is an all-time great. Garrison Hurst is just a good back.

Yep - Goodbuddy for the longest 8 months of my life after Monterey (extra time for flight crew training after language school)

Arabic - 92-93 and also ended up at Ft Meade, then they moved my office to Ft Gordon.

Loved Baltimore (Fells Point) and Annapolis, hated DC after 5pm.

So...this is where I normally trip folks up who claim to have been at No Such Agency...

What is on the ground floor of the oldest building in "THE Building"?

Edit: Not suggesting you are a fake, because you call it DLI and know that Goodfellow is the next stop. You would just be surprised how many folks claim to have been in the building.

Not arguing that point on a career level. That year in college football, Faulk was tearing shite up against San Jose State and UNLV while Hearst was doing it against UT and UF. That's my only argument. At the college level, in 1992...Hearst was better, in my opinion.

We´re talking about the college year in question, not their respective careers as football players.

Not a very good screening question bc I spent 6 years there and have no clue what your talking about. LOL. I can remember the small gift shop, the chain restaurants in the cafeterias and dirnsa's office but can't detail that. :/

Nightlife I enjoyed the inner harbor and daytime around the capital as well.

Thru those years I lived in GlennBurnie, Columbia and SilverSprings, in that order. I liked living closer to DC but enjoyed Bal'mer nightlife. The ESPN bar & grill opened in the inner harbor while I was there, I think it was the first one in their franchise.

Had I stayed I was off to Korea next, which was the main reason I left. However, had I stayed I'd be retiring this year! Couldn't tell a young me anything past the next year back then.

I was looking for the cafeteria.

Most people who have never really been there stand there looking like I just told them the a complicated mathematical theorem and/or come up with some cloak and dagger bs about how they are sworn to secrecy.

Do you still use your language?

I thought I wouldn't however Atlanta has a large Eastern European population and many of them have become clients thru the years.

As hard as dli was while we were there I look back on it with great memories and I enjoyed driving the pacific coast highway up to SF and down thru BigSur.

Nice to talk to you and find "others"!

Not a lot of Arabic speakers up here in Northeast GA, near Helen. I will occasionally run across a bit of print on one of the news channels, or see some script in a movie but other than that, its just not much use for me. Id say its more of a party trick at this point.

The Russian Village at the Presidio was actually new when I was there. Naturally, since it was new, folks thought the food in the cafeteria over there must be better, so many of my classmates would walk all the way over there for lunch.

I have told many folks over the years since I left there that I definitely didn't appreciate the place as much as I should have while I was there. I have fond memories of the place.

Definitely nice to meet someone who went through the same things...part of an extremely small community, that's for sure.

Geaux Tigers!
