Quote:I'm not a fan of the (insert position here) U titles. Because usually those schools players at whatever position it is don't pan out in the pros.
Quote:I am well aware of who Miami had and I am well aware at how many really good NFL running backs they have pumped out. You might want to go back and look at my thesis.
"No college in the nation has had running backs put up the numbers Wisconsin running backs have been putting up for the past 20 years. None. None of those running backs have gone one to be above average NFL backs, though."
"Wisconson is RB U", you forgot that part. That, they are not.
My point was they are a university that had had incredible success with running backs. They can plug in average RBs behind their dominant OLines and make them look great.
My thesis was "great college numbers, average pros"... Do you disagree? You are arguing semantics, here.
At the very least will you acknowledge how much WI rushing stats blow Georgia's out of the water?

No I don't. I disagreed with the sentence that started the whole statement. How am I arguing semantics when the first sentence in said statement was wrong, which part of that am I misreading, not interpreting?
Wisconson's stats are much better overall the last 20 years. I'd still take Georgia's top 5 over Wisconson's.
Wait a minute, how are we talking about college rb's and nobody has mentioned Oregon?? What in the blue hell... !?

Over the past 7 or so seasons, they have been excellent. But it's been over such a short period of time. It's not the same as the span being talked about.
Bama has sure shot out some studs as well lately.
Not sure how I overlooked them!
Mark Ingram
Trent Richardson
Shaun Alexander
Eddie Lacy
Ken Darby
Glen Coffee
and currently TJ Yeldon who may be the best when all is said and done, just a Sophomore.

I thought Yeldon was better than Lacy last year. Which is why I'm glad we didn't take Lacy as some were advocating.
Over the past 20 years, no has college had running backs with better college numbers than Wisconsin. 19 1,000 yard rushers in 20 seasons? That is crazy.
Somebody post season leaders (like I did) if they honestly believe anyone stacks up to Wisconsin.
Trav, you are arguing semantics because we are using "running back U" in different contexts. I'm saying that wisconsin has put up better college stats than anyone, not that they have had better running backs.

Really? "Insert Team Here U" is pretty widely known as to what that means. Who's arguing semantics here again?
Read my OP. I pretty clearly state my point that WI seems to always have college running backs that put up gawdy numbers that fizzle out in the NFL.
You disagreed with the context in which I used "RB U" and latched on to it.
Anyways, are you willing to admit that over the past 20 years no other D1 college has had the running back success (statistically) that WI has had? Or maybe provide some stats to back you case up? Heck, the stats speak for themselves. After this season, te Badgers will likely have had 21 1,000 yard rushers in 20 seasons. That doesn't impress you?
21 1,000 yard rushers in seasons**

I have already answered the questioned posed in your 3rd paragraph.
Now will you answer that you used "RB U" in the wrong context, and then argued about it?
When you boil it down, they're not close to "RB U"
You answered wrong, though. You said Georgia RBs have bad better numbers which I disproved.

Post 23.
Thank you.
And Miami definitely had better running backs, but Wisconsin had better numbers. Ron Dayne 2k twice. Monterey Ball had two or of the best seasons of all time.
21 1,000 yard rushers in 21 years is unheard of.
Shack del Rio? Crickets?
I assume everyone now agrees that Wisconsin having 21 1,000 yard rushers in 21 seasons trumps Georgia's 4 and Miami's dozen or so.
bummed..... thought the title said Wisconsin Ribs. I was all primed to talk BBQ.
I'll be in the sideline.
Oh, I thought the topic was Wisconsin Ribs.
.... my bad.
dang, my thought was already used.
