I bet some of the geezers wouldn't engage many of the young tots if they knew going in who they were dealing with. So it cuts both ways.

10th grade for me.
My memory of Georgia’s season that year was SC playing in Athens with what would be George Rogers Heisman Trophy year but Herschel had the highlight of the day. Herschel took a handoff on about Georgia’s 10 yard line, broke past LOS and sprinted 90 yards for a TD. Our safety had a great angle and was closing at about the 40 yard line but Herschel hit another gear, the angle disappeared and he was gone.

Us geezers have a win win. If we throw the hands we have two options.
1) Get beat up and press charges for elder abuse.
2) luck out and get the best at which point we can strut around.
I’m good for about 30 seconds and then I fade… fast. But I could Buster Douglas you also.

that's the very definition of hitting another gear. You're right, the DB had a textbook picture perfect angle. 99 tiems out of 100 he closes in and at the very least pushes the ball carrier out of bounds. But Herschel had world class speed (he beat carl lewis in a track meet once) and the dude had no chance.

I remember that play. Glad I was alive to see him and other great players play.

30 seconds is damn long. Go hit a bag fast and hard for 30 seconds. I don’t think I can make it 30 seconds.
I think I read somewhere the average fight lasts about 15 seconds. I might could make that....assuming adrenaline was helping me.

Alright. You called me out. Only way I’d make 30 seconds is if I had a 20 second break thrown in. Used to hit the bags some and you’re right, it’s not easy to go any length of time.

Herschel was the best to ever suit up in our beloved conference and I will admit it. 
I would argue the entire NCAA, but I am sure there are other arguments.

BigD I’d have to agree. He was a man amongst boys. His size and speed are a combination that only happens once in a while. I know peeps will also say Bo and some others in the SEC.
OJ is up there along with many others on a national scale.

1965.....and the late 70's / early 80's were the tits! Great music, good drugs, as a kid you could do just about anything you damn well pleased as long as it didn't make too much noise and attract the attention of an adult....I'd go for days in the summer without being indoors when the sun was up and wouldn't speak to anyone older than 17 unless I was spoken to someone older than that....just left to do what we damn well pleased....smoking, drinking, hunting, fishing, terrorizing the neighborhood on dirt bikes...trying to get laid...claiming to have been laid so many times we couldn't count...it was the bomb. Kids nowadays would wind up in a foster home and their parents would be in jail for neglect if they allowed their kids to do for an hour what we did all day everyday....

I was married and already stationed at Fort Bragg by 1980. I remember exactly where I watching the SC-UGA game in 80. I was over at Pope, on Green Ramp, JMPIing my bird getting ready for a jump up at Suchon DZ up at Fort Campbell and some full bird walked up and I thought he was about to chew my arse for having that little TV out there (we had been on a long weather delay before saddling-up) and instead he asked what the score was and asked me to JMPI him next. LOL ... Colonel Mad Jack Hamilton was his name. Once I got saddled-up he and I sat there leaning on our chutes waiting for the loadmaster to bring us up the ramp into the bird. It was the loadmaster’s little TV. Those AF guys always had all the cool stuff.
