but I digress, this is a NCAA thread... Sorry...I just have this question in mind every time I see Emmits name pop up...

If you remember Emmit Smith's acceptance speech for the all time rushing record; The very first thing was to thank Barry Sanders for retiring early so he was able to win the record. Barry had more yards per season. I take nothing away from Emmit Smith. He was a team player and a great running back.
