    Ha.. I'd almost forgotten about that one.

    But on a more serious note, Foster moved forward with his life and went on to play for 2 different NFL teams. No shame in how he turned things around for himself. Cecil, not so much.

    herschel was the best i'd ever seen by a good bit.

    cecil collins gets too much praise although he was dominant for a short stint. we thought justin vincent was a lock for the pros yet ended up worst rb on a 6 man depth chart 2 years later. pretty far reach to try and say where cecil would have ended up. besides jail or dead from coke.

    I also remember bo jackson against USL in his sr yr i think it was. Ran for like 4 tds and 200 yds in the first qtr. that was pretty nasty and bo was pretty decent.

    the all-star game when he was with the KC royals comes to mind.

    yeah he was special for a brief moment but I guess there is no way I can put him in the same group as Herschel or Bo
