Well, that's only a 5 hour drive to Gainesville. You were right, he should've gone a little farther south. :-) Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry

On top of that Hershel is a class guy. I just wish he would have moved a little further South than heading North to go to college.

Using your concept, Chris Collingsworth was the greatest QB in NCAA history because his average yards per throw was 99 and his completion percentage was 100%. You could have a person who played only one year win the record. Tim has the record because he has stayed longer and played more games. Part of Tim's record is his durability. Perhaps Hershel would have been injured had he payed as many games and then might not have had as many touchdowns. Similarly, what about those who played on the freshmen teams. Should their statistics be added in? Any system will have its problems. If this is the way we keep score now, then that is what we live with. I suppose you could argue that we need to "standardize" the way we keep the records. The problem with that is that you can not always really do that. For example, let's look at the highest scoring shooting guards in Men's basketball. To be fair to the older players, we would have to find the videos of all of their games, calculate where the 3 point line would have been had they been playing with one, and then recalculate their career points. The problem is that if there would have been a 3 point line, perhaps more people would have tried 3 point goals.rats, fouled again!
