re: Bo & Herschel - greatest college runs

I actually agree with you on McFadden.

I said that mostly to get a rise out of Bo/Herschel defenders, but I actually do think one could easily make the case for McFadden. It is impossible to compare players from different eras as so many things change, but I just think the pedestal these two have been placed on is a little unrealistic. I think the legends of both players has grown over the years and benefited from the lack of 24/7 news coverage back then, so we have this mythical image of both. And lest I be scolded for being some kind of a Bama homer, Bo Jackson is one of my favorite players from the state ever. And from a pure athletic standpoint, he will likely never be touched. I'm talking strictly college football prowess.
