@DerekJohnson i was not alive to watch him in college. But watching highlights of him run he was not as explosive I thought. I have no doubts he is top 3 maybe 2. But I’m not sure I can put him above Kaufman and maybe even gaskin. And yes ypc is not as good of a stat back then.
I don't think there's a stretch of an answer in the group of Gaskin, Kaufman and Dillon and someone could probably go well actually Hugh McElhenny. Everything aside, fuck Lambright if Dillon really would have come back had he been guaranteed the starting spot.
People forget Dillon wasn't the starting tailback, that was Rashaan Shehee, who never really had a full season. That said by the end of the ASU game where Dillon and Huard came in to get the lead before a last second kick, sparked a memorable season. I'm trying to recall how we got boat raced by Notre Dame so badly. They would lose to Air Force the following week.
I don't think Bishop Sankey gets enough credit from dawg fans. If he stays a fourth year he possibly has the all time yards record, in virtually just three years as the focal point. I also think with a better line say of the Petersen years, he possibly gets close to 2000 for a season. All hypothetical.
Sankey is great. I think he gets lost in the shuffle because the program has a lot of really good RBs. Greg Lewis won the Doak Walker and never gets mentioned. Sankey I think gets passed over for playing on a bunch of forgettable Sark teams. It's a good point that had he played a fourth year like Gaskin and Kaufman he has more records. I don't think being really bad in the NFL helped his cause.
I wanted to bring up Sankey but I didn't, and don't feel like listening to the pod so I didn't think I should have an opinion.
My opinion is that Sankey was as good as any RB ever at UW. He could grind for yards but could also get outside and outrun anyone on the field. We're not supposed to GAF about what they do as pros. The guy was good enough to put up monster numbers with horrible OLs, win the underwear Olympics, and get picked in the first round. He had an epic career.
Did Sankey just get the bag and quit? He had 700 yards as a rookie in all yards from scrimmage, gets barely any yards the following year then, practice squad, injury CFL and poof, gone. Maybe its a Tennessee thing with form dwags?

I was assuming you weren’t around with that post☝️, no offense. Dude was a force of nature. Never seen anything like it.

Don’t forgot Lambright also botched the coverup of Shehee’s “jumping off a deck at a party during a shooting” injury. What a fucking oaf.
As I said in the pod, Napoleon is my all-time #1
@DerekJohnson he was pups favorite husky of all time. We have a painting pup made of Kaufman and that whole husky god squad on our wall
I would seriously love to see a pic of that
@ill take a pic later today and send it to you
@DerekJohnson
Wasn’t all the blond flowing locks he was known for apparently
Not too shabby. Hoffmann's physique is a bit off. But all of these are easily recognizable
what’s a podcast?

Watched him alot in high school. It was like a man playing with toddlers.
Greg makes up for it by being a blowhard about the 90 season on the Honks every week
