Yeah I was just throwing some greats out there as a comparison.

You could add Charles White and Marcus Allen USC

Mizzou beat this tandem 38-17 in the Cotton Bowl that year.

Tony Temple ran for around 300 yards rushing. It was a sad day for Hog fans.

Were they all drafted in the First round?

Ronnie and Carnell were.


McFadden and Jones were.

Hillis was 7th round, but still had a 1000+ yard rushing season with the Browns.

Oh, you're talking about the Arkie combo.

Yet you replied to my message which was about Auburn combos.

This is what is called "misattribution" and is a stupid and confusing thing to do.

Try hitting "Reply" on THE SPECIFIC POST TO WHICH YOU ARE REPLYING next time.

They were about 1/3rd as good as Tony Temple.

What those 2 did in the NFL should have no bearing on their college rankings, imo.

congrats on being in IT and a Georgia fan



You're not very bright are you? IT is the one market that is thriving and will probably thrive for a long time to come. If he's good, he'll never be in need of a job. Hell, even if he's not good, he'll never be in need of a job. I'd know, I'm an IT recruiter.

It is an excellent field to be in if your are an electrical engineer or highly talented programmer...most in IT work at help desks and make $12 an hour or so.

There are lots of markets and fields thriving, I am a nurse and while I openly love my job I am recruited monthly for other positions and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one nor am I supremely talented.

That game against us when McFadden and Jones combined for like 500 yards rushing was such a sad day.

There's a lot of help desk positions for sure but I wouldn't consider those true IT positions. Those are support positions that require little to no skill.

You don't have to be a highly talented programmer to make really good money. And the IT market is all about innovation and that's one reason it won't go away. It's only going to grow and get bigger.

ETA: Also, there are so many IT jobs and not near as many candidates. I don't think you have a clear grasp on how insane this market is right now.
