Finally, you act like beating an 8-4 team that lost a lot of good players from the year before when y’all were 12-2 or whatever is some kind of feat. Tony Temple was running through holes so wide that I could’ve gained 20 yards a pop.


Never said y’all sucked. Lol. Never said we were good. We were good though. Just said we dominated that game.

I don't know the numbers but I watched Emmit Smith run on a pretty good Bama defense at Legion Field when I was a teenager in the 80's.

Darren McFadden and Felix Jones cut up in Baton Rouge in 2007. They broke my heart but damn they were good that day.

Shaud Williams smoke draw. 80 to the house and I witnessed the absolute life sucked out of a stadium and it was GAME OVER within 10 seconds of the start.
I was there and had great seats. I think I made like 8 trips to the concession stand just to kill time.

I saw Derrius Guice go for 276 in the Vaught. The Tigers ran for 393 as a team that night.

Marcus Lattimore in every game he ever played. Nobody could stop him. There’s a special place in hell for the grounds crew at Kneeland Stadium.


I mean you are aware that we too have to play on the field in Neyland during games right? Are you suggesting that our grounds crew is playing some kind of 3d chess that they can make the field hard on only certain players knees?

Georgia's entire RB roster against Mike Stoops defense in the Rose Bowl.



I guess you weren't in Morgantown when Tavon Austin ran for 344 against OU and had 572 all purpose yards against OU.

All in his first start at running back for WVU.

Damndest thing I ever saw. That was Mike Stoops first season back at OU. By the Georgia Rose Bowl... we were expecting things like that.

I didn't go to the Rose Bowl but on one of the long Georgia TD runs I remember it being the only time in my life that I could tell there was fixing to be a 60 yard TD run just by the way OU's defense lined up before the play.

Shaun Alexander vs LSU in 1996. I think he just scored on another 72 yard run this morning.

May be an Urban Legend but word was that Spurrier didn't vote DMAC in his top ten for Heisman in 2007. If true a real dick move.

I’ve been to very few non-Bama games. The only one I can actually give is the Florida runningback, from Alabama, that sealed the game vs. Auburn with a 90 yard run




Against Bama? CEH was excellent but so were most of LSUs skill position people that day. I don’t really remember going to a Bama game where the RB carried the team

McFadden in Oxford.

Actually, Arkansas' running back trio of McFadden, Felix Jones, and Peyton Hillis was incredible. Hillis was actually on the cover of Madden one year.

Adrian Peterson, Oklahoma. I've been next to the guy and he's not that big. BUT, and this is a giant BUT, he is carved out of something stronger than granite. He is one of those backs I was lucky enough to see in person and immediately think "that dude is a legit game breaker".

Pretty sure Alexander still has the single game rushing record in tiger stadium. I always thought Miles would try to get that off the record books the years he had Fournette. I know he got within at least ten once.
