    @Mosster47, amateur coach, Bearcat alum and quook fan.....has turned @Salemcoog salty.

    What gives?

    No salt. You just don't compare absolute legends to someone that was good regionally.

    Ask a 20 year old college fan who Bear Bryant is and they will know it without thinking. Ask the same person who Don James is and they won't have a clue.

    He was a very good coach for the Pac, but college football doesn't care about the Pac. Only one program has truly ever been relevant nationally from it.
    DON JAMES ELECTED TO COLLEGE FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME

    Jeesuz fucking Christ, @Mosster. BTP is making you look young and uninformed.

    Think about that for a while. Or at least think before your next poast. . . .

    Like it or not, this is more or less true. James had his moments, but he's a much bigger deal in these parts than he was to the country at large.

    Any college fan who doesn't know who Don James was is not a college fan.
    Bullshit. Mike Bellotti made the Hall of Fame, so there goes DJ's argument.

    No college football fan under the age of 30 outside of the PNW knows who Don James is. If you don't make it past the generation you coached in you weren't a legend, period. You have to do memorable shit to be remembered. A hand full of conference titles when USC was the only opponent and a paper trophy doesn't cut it.
