202 all purpose yards, really stuffed him.

Dangit, park beat me to it.

Auburn has produced the greatest athlete of all time (Bo Jackson)

Auburn has produced the greatest college athlete of all time (Cam Newton)

Clearly this means that Auburn is the greatest athletic college of all time.

You lost me right after the first line, up to then I was right with you.

Was that pic taken before or after Bo's 202 yard performance?

Not sure.

But definitely before he walked off the collegiate field for the last time carrying that L.

Remember when Auburn fans said Alabama fans live in the past?

Umm, no. Bo was a great athlete, but no where near the GOAT. Jim Thorpe holds that, go look up all that he accomplished.
There was a discussion on this on the sports board. Some of the finalists of this poll were Tony Hawk, Tiger Woods, and Dale Earnhardt.
Hardly a greatest athlete of all time group of finalists.

I think that would be Babe Ruth. Laugh all you want - look at his stats.

Yeah that is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. Bo was a big guy who could run fast. He never rushed for 1,000 yards in the NFL, and .272 was his best year ever at the plate in MLB. Only hit 30 HR once (32) and only stole 40 bases once (44). Basically played 4 full baseball and football seasons. Way too injury prone to be considered the best all time at anything.

That's all great, but when he was healthy he did things I've never saw anyone do before and I've never seen since.

You are probably too young to recall.

Bo was unique. And a product of Nike/Nintendo/Madison Ave.
GOAT is thrown around way too much. And by people way too young.

I was in school at UF when Bo was playing at Auburn. I know all about how talented Bo was.
