We were at a different level. Andre Johnson, Portis, Dorsey, Schockey, Wilfork (freshman). Just eviscerating Nebraska. Beating them 35-0 before half. I had forgotten but they were talking about how McKinnie received Heisman votes. He had an 8 foot wing span.

That’s what Mario will bring back to the U.

We completely dismantled and laid waste that game. Don’t remember how Nebraska got in after getting curb stomped in the Big 12 title game. I thought we should’ve played Joey Harrington and Oregon. Still, it wouldn’t have mattered.

They didn't play in the Big XII title game, got beat by CU and didn't win the division as a result..
 
Vilma just knocked a kid out, the tight end. Literally put him to sleep. Would have been called for targeting probably nowadays.

Bama’s class currently includes 7 5 stars and has a composite ranking of 330. Not sure but I believe that’s the highest ever.

I know this is unpopular but look at the collection of offensive talent on the 2018 Bama squad.

3 nfl starting qbs - jones, tua, hurts
RB- jacobs, Najee, b Robinson jr, Damien harris
Wr - jeudy devonta waddle ruggs

Plenty on defense also. At least 3 pro bowlers starters this yr in Quinnen Surtain and Trevon diggs

Great collection of talent (Ruggs could have been special) but you have to let their pro careers play out.

Watching that game showed me what we must look like to the better teams we play….slow and overmatched

**** I always wondered the difference of UM fans among the newer generations. Back in the 80s-90s in south fla everybody at school was either a canes fan or FSU or Gators but Cane fans outnumbered them all. There was always that one kid in the classroom that was a fan of Ohio State or Michigan. Today its gotta be a bunch of SEC fans. You guys remember how the streak at the Orange Bowl? That was talked about every week by the national media
