So the choice is easy if you want the running back who gets more yardage every time he touches the ball and scores more often the more you give him the ball.

I want the one who doesn't have joints made of sunshine, farts, and paper!! And who proved he could make it through three SEC seasons and rack up carry after carry after carry while winning an SECC every year he was on campus.

Fallback U'er kids always got that chip though, gotta prove they're as good.

So run along champ. Sure. Bo was great.

Here is the bottom line.....

EVERY single one of you leg humpers would pick Bo, if he went to UGA. EVERY single one of us Auburn fans would pick Herschel, if he went to Auburn. EVERY single one of you are lying to yourself if you say differently!

To argue Bo is better is to say that you know something that the media of their era, former players that had Heisman votes and current media don't know. That is possible, but can you see how the data isn't on your side?

Herschel has 3 times as many top 3 Heisman finishes than Bo Jackson has top 10 Heisman finishes (keep in mind that Bo played 1 more year than Herschel also)

I understand that the Heisman isn't the perfect measure, but it is one of the best tools we have for measuring perceptions of the era.

If anyone can produce a reputable all time college football player ranking that has Bo ranked better than Herschel I'd love to see it. I've looked at quite a few and Herschel is always ranked better.
