and they were a bunch of slow white guys too.
tradition is one thing but lets at least put into perspective how important the black athlete is to college football.
and for what its worth Walter Camp had a much higher win percentage than Rockne and Larry Coker is dead even with Rockne with about 4 seasons to go, he could match all percentages Rockne had.
Back in that day and age, the black athletes were around. Its hard to compare apples to oranges. We'd have to ask the great team throughout a set number of years.
there were no black athletes when rockne coached.
according to DeBerry, coaches need to recruit the black athlete...they are faster [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
and I don't whatsoever mean this in a racist way or negative way...but if you do notice, most of the better athletes are blacks...and how do they get better muscle tone....they think their ripped arms look better than my 2 1/2 inch pythons [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
I dont like this team but I got to say that notre dame is the best team of all time..
yeah, that's what i meant.. WEREN'T... OOPPS [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]
I dont mean this racist either. Simple reason why black athletes are so much more bigger, stronger, etc. Back in the slave trading days, they only took slaves that were the strongest, best of the bunch. Also, that's how they continually bred them, the best with the best. I dont mean that racist whatsoever, it's the truth though.
You need to qualify this question.
Do you mean if all of our favorite teams strapped it on and lined up across from each other and got it on, who would win? Or do you mean best record?
I think the best college football program of all time is Notre Dame. You had so many great players go through, so much tradition, and so much winning.
The best college coach is Joe Paterno, simply by atrition. He outlived everyone else. But in all seriousness, his personal gain was always second to that of the program. He changed his style of play how many times? He adapted to the world around him and continues to have a winner. Bear Bryant is a legend, and I loved watching Junction Boys, hearing stories about him, and reading about him, but I really have to put Paterno up there. Rockne was amazing, he changed the face of football forever, and I think he's a legend as well.
The best single team of all time? I would argue 1992 Bama with anyone, well at least their defense. They straight up got after people. That one is biased, I saw them play and it just blew my mind. I thought they were the most impressive that I saw on TV or in person.
As much talent as the 2001 'Canes had on the field at one time, I don't think there is ANYONE who can honestly say they wouldn't roll people if they lined up tomorrow with their best and any other team's best.
Mega is on to something with Sanders from OK State. I remember watching some game he played and couldn't help saying "DAAAAMN!!! Did he!? No way! Oh crap, here he goes again!" That was the day I really started liking Sanders. But the best part was he would just hand the ball back to the ref like it was all routine to him.
As far as the black athlete card, be careful of playing it, look at Jimmy "The Greek" who said the same thing you just said, Steer or Rush Limbaugh's comment about Donovan McNabb (McNabb is overrated by the media because they want a good black quarterback) which got him fired (whose comments I totally agree with). It's sad that people get in trouble for stating the truth.
Hell, people say on a daily basis that white men can't jump and white men can't dance, I take offense to those comments. DAVE CHAPPELLE, you remember Men in Tights!? You owe me money! It's true, why do people get so touchy about it? BECAUSE IT'S HITTING TOO CLOSE TO HOME!
I'm going to agree with your whole post. That was a good post. Rockne/Paterno is a tough one. But I will agree Rockne changed the face of football and is always a legend. Paterno did so much as well. Great Great!
You are dead on the money about the 1992 Bama team.
About my comment, I'm surprised I already havent' been banned on this forum. HaHa.. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
