Good morning. (Yeah, at 10pm). =]

Glad I get to vote. I'll get back to you on my decision, Spence.

There's a whole lot of players to choose from!

Howdy, I thought about Howard (hop a long) Cassidy. He was a little before my time, but I have heard stories about him. Great RB. Chic Hurley would have been a good pick also.

I knew there would be plenty of RB's picked, so I didn't want to pick one. Also Jack Tatum is my favorite player, all time. If you put the force with which he hit in a 260lb DE, he would have been deadly.

Nice selection Lubbock. Most people would have picked Billy Simms. Iwould have probably went with Boz. Although, he was a bust as a pro, he was one of the all time greats in college. LeeRoy Selmon would have been a great choice too.

For my sooners... very very tough to decide... despite all the greats we've been fortunate to have had play for us... I'm gonna pick an off the wall one.

Antonio Perkins... 3 punt returns for touchdown in 1 game against UCLA in 2003... he had 277 yards on punt returns in that game. He also set team records with a 4.31 40 yrd and a 42 inch vertical leap.

Alternates...
LeeRoy Selmon
Roy Williams
Billy Vessels
Brian Bozworth
Tony Casillas
Keith Jackson
Billy Simms

Adrian Peterson hopefully will top this list by the end of his career.


When you get to be my ages the memory bank is slow like my computer.
Also Mike Rosier rb.,Dave Remington at center,Irvin Fryer split back.
I will have to find some of my programs that I have left to think of others.
Wish now I kept them all.

Dave Remington was outstanding. His play was the first time I remember the TV guys spotlighting the play of an offensive lineman. The guy dominated play along the line of scrimmage.

From my point of view, I'd have to go with Clayton, or more likely, Roy Williams. I loved watching the best receiver in the conference go against the best secondary guy in the conference: Roy Williams vs Roy Williams! The thing was, your Roy always had great games, but brought it to the next level in the big games. That's what always impressed me the most. He's having and going to continue having a great career in the pro's.

No one in the history of the game has dominated their position like Deion Sanders. I'd have to go with him JJ. He was running a 4.2 before kids were running 4.3s. He was such a stud.

jjj, do you want Corso or Dunn as #1? I agree with Yeofoot, Deion Sanders would be my pick from FSU.

This is one hell of a team. :D
They’re either going to run the ball here or their going to pass it.

The fewer rules a coach has, the fewer rules there are for players to break.

See, well ya see, the thing is, he should have caught that ball. But the ball is bigger than his hands.

OK, time to finish out the team. Since I put a defensive player in the first time, this time I'll go offense. My pick on offense is Orlando Pace - OT(the pancake man)

Go the opposite position you did the first time. Lineman are encouraged. :lol:
