How many Aggies joined the board after the 2014 draft? Lots of animosity for them. Always wondered if it was pre-existing before I got here or if I'm the cause.

[wargograw]

I did love Ford's baldness.

[wargograw]

Well my youth is certainly doing me no favors here. Although Texags just did a top 100 all time list I could use.

QB: Johnny (current), Bucky Richardson (late 80s, early 90s)

RB: John David Crow (Bear Bryant era [early-mid 50s]), John Kimbrough (late 30s) (last 3 are the Mount Rushmore of Aggie Football, all named John)

FB: Jack Parder (Bear Bryant era), Jorvorskie Lane (current)

WR: Mike Evans (current), Ryan Swope (current), Terrence Murphy (early 2000s)

TE: Rod Bernstine (mid 80s)

OT: Luke Joeckel (current), Jake Matthews (current), Richmond Webb (mid 80s)

OG: Joe Routt (mid 30s), Dennis Goehring (Bear Bryant era), Seth McKinney (mid 90s),

Jerry Fontenot (mid 80s), Patrick Lewis (current)

DE: Ray Childress (early 80s), Jacob Green (late 70s), Sam Adams (early 90s)

DT: Charlie Krueger (Bear Bryant era), Rolf Kreuger (mid 60s)

OLB: Von Miller (current), Aaron Wallace (mid 80s)

ILB: Dat Nguyen (late 90s), Ed Simonini (mid 70s)

OLB: Johnny Holland (mid 80s), Quentin Coryatt (early 90s),

CB: Kevin Smith (late 80s, early 90s), Aaron Glenn (early 90s), Pat Thomas (mid 70s)

S: Lestef Hayes (mid 70s), Dave Elmendorf (late 60s), Patrick Bates (early 90s)

K: Tony Franklin (mid 70s)

P: Shane Lechler (mid 90s, still playing)

Little something in there for every age group.

[wargograw]

Since I've been following it closely:

QB: Johnny

RB: Cyrus Gray (though I remember the Toombs days and he was better)

FB: Jorvorskie Lane

WR: Evans, Swope, Jeff Fuller

TE-They have all sucked quite a bit

OT: Joeckel, Matthews

OG: Jarvis Harrison, Cedric Ogbuehi (started 2 years here)

Lewis

DE: Damontre Moore, Myles Garrett (chalk it up already!)

DT: Spencer Nealy, Tony Jerod-Eddie

OLB: Von

ILB: Johnathan Stewart

OLB: Sean Porter

CB: Coryell Judie? Idk. They've all been average.

S: Steven Terrell. Rest terrible.

K: Randy Bullock

P: Josh Lambo

[wargograw]

Need a Pitt team

[RoyceRolls]

The aggie (JFF) fans were only a problem until JFF shit the bed last season. Most of the fanboys left after that happened. The Aggies who stuck around have tempered their expectations on Manziel and have an optimistic "show me" approach which is far more palatable than "John Football has a 20 pound hang-down and is going to drop a steaming load on any defense who dare oppose him"

For me, it is three things:

1) The NCAA Football cover vote with Denard vs Swope. God, Aggie fans were annoying. That was my first experience with them.

2) Anyone that is an "SEC fan". Ugh.

3) Then the JF dick sucking immediately after we drafted him. That pushed a lot of people over the edge.

[MLD Woody]

Johnny? How?

Wouldn't you at least pick Tannehill?

[The Gipper]

I thought that Toledo had another guy that played QB that was decent besides Gradkowski. Whom might I be thinking of?

(or maybe he was good in college but did not quite make it as a pro)

[The Gipper]

That is another Greg Lloyd right? Not the former Steeler LB?

Find a Pitt grad to do it.

[The Gipper]

Where is your list Dude?

[gftChris]

QB: Brian Hoyer

Yea, I guess I didn't make it clear.....what I wanted was those players from each school that did the best in the Pros....not in college.

Example....take Ohio St. One of the greatest college performers of all time....only 2X Heisman winner, Archie Griffin.....would not land on the Ohio St. All Pro team.

[MLD Woody]

All one thread now? Geez... I miss being special...

(and I will eventually do this. I've just been busy. Plus, I don't know much about Wolverines in the NFL pre-90s)

[The Gipper]
