    Ok, so he was nationally known for a couple of years, and remembered by fans for years to come. What percentage of college athletes are actually remembered by everyone? 0.001% or less?

    I think his story will be remembered by plenty of fans, and some from other places. He went 26-2 as a starter. Got benched in an epic game against Georgia. Stayed and supported the team and the guy who replaced him. Then less than a year later, the starter was hurt, Jalen came in, down by 2 touchdowns, with around 10 mins left in the game, and won the game. That is a fairly special story.

    But if no one other than Alabama fans remember him, so what? Do you think that matters?

    I can name more former Alabama players than I am willing to sit and type. And many, if not most, Alabama fans would recognize all of those names. And some date back to when they wore leather helmets.

    Damn, you guys used to produce some QBs! Starr and the Snake were legit, and Broadway Joe, though vastly overrated, was/remains a great spectacle.

    Yeah, then we went to the 3 yards and a cloud of dust. And it was effective, to a point. It required a smothering defense. If you got behind, ground & pound wasn't a good way to catch up.

    Majority of which are more famous for their pro careers than college

    Bigger question is why would you want to remember all those names, their just football players, and next year there will be more football players

    Because I enjoy the games. Those players all made great plays. Some never played in the NFL. Some, like Tyrone Prothro, were injured before they should have been finished playing in college. But they played the game with all their heart and skill.

    Here is an amazing catch by Prothro that happened right in front of me:


    As a fan of the game, and the team, that is memorable.

And he was there when Alabama needed him in the SEC Championship.

    The people at OU thought enough of Hurts to offer him a scholarship. And there is talk of OU potentially having 3 Heisman winners in a row.
    The definition of quitter isn't based on a time frame but what one does.

    When they mention Hurts by name, they're talking about Hurts, too. That you can't accept it proves your biased opinion is meaningless.

    I'm not a fan of basketball. So I'll stick with football. There is still the final signing day for recruiting. Then the spring games. Then the buildup to the start of the 2019 season.

    OU fans welcome Jalen Hurts.



    OU fans stood in line to meet Jalen Hurts at halftime of a Sooners basketball game.

    I'm with you. I watch how LSU recruiting is going, how the latest QB for them is doing in the spring, etc. I went nuts this past fall when the Tigers demolished GA.
    If I could be a senior in H.S. again I'd probably have decided not to go there and gone to a smaller, quiter state U. but LSU was/is my school.
