BTW, damn I was lucky to be a student while both he and Barkley were there.

(Big Frank didn't show up on campus until the year after I graduated.)

Dat speed tho

Show me another RB in history who could move like that (outside of Herschel I guess). Bo made those NFL guys look like kids chasing an adult (just as the announcers said).

Well... I finished in December 83. But walked in spring 84.
Was already working in Jan 84.

Herschel was faster than greased lightnin'.

But he didn't have Bo speed.

He just didn't.

As great an athlete Bo was, he is just as great a person. We are lucky to have him associated with Auburn.

Bo Jackson was the biggest recruiting frickup in the history of bama football.

Just watching the 1983 Iron Bowl replay from ESPN Classic on my DVR and Frank Broyles says “And Bo Jackson beat Herschel Walker in the 60 yard dash last season” (referring to track season and an old event that used to be run).

Of course he did.

Because he was faster.
