Didn't Hillis play FB/RB? I know he would've been damn good if he wasn't behind 2 better backs in McFadden and Jones.

Yeah they used him in a variety of ways his last two years, RB/FB/H-Back. He actually led the team in receptions his senior year.

Haha, I frickin' love it! Out come the Bama fans to bash the guy they didn't have an opinion on yesterday


I didn't bash him..I just said I didn't know they had a FB spot on the All-American team...since you know that postion is usually played by TE or something else.

You seriously are retarded, aren't you? Fullbacks aren't named All-Americans based on what they do with the ball. They're nammed AA based on how well they block for a running back. GTFO, clown.



Many folks didn't take this advice when talking shite about Terrence Cody.

You have proven time and time again your understanding of the game of football is in its infancy. Leave the discussion of football to the men and feel free to head on over to the gaming board.

He seems like a prototypical AA Fullback to me. No convincing needed.

Yeah, he looks like a good kid. Here is hoping that his mother recovers and he has great career as an Auburn Tiger.

I miss Bama's last true FB, Baron Huber.

He could jump the pile for no good reason like the best of them...
