While being a semi-grounded University of Alabama football fan is, in theory, possible to accomplish, I find the reality of the struggle to be overwhelming at times. I once asked my father if any Bama fans live to an On Golden Pondesque old age, and, he simply responded with a firm, "No." Sometimes we all ask questions to which we already know the answer.

He's a beast he's a dog he's a mothafuckin problem
Best college running back in the state of Georgia. Knowshon, who? Yeah, dude is for real.
ESPN analysts Craig James and Jesse Palmer got a first-hand look at Dwyer last week against Miami, when he exploded for 128 yards and two touchdowns on just 10 carries.
But they weren’t ready to put him on par with Moreno.
“Dwyer right now, he’ll run you over,” James said. “He put his shoulder down and smoked somebody. He’s got the ability, but Knowshon Moreno, he’s done it week in and week out against the SEC defenses. So Dwyer’s not there yet.”
Palmer said Dwyer, playing in Paul Johnson’s option attack, doesn’t make as many defenders miss as Moreno does.
“You see a lot of his touchdowns have just been gashers right up the middle,” Palmer said. “I just think [Moreno] is a more complete runner right now than Jonathan Dwyer, but Jonathan Dwyer I think is exceptional and a lot of fun to watch.”
i still don't understand you two's knowshon hatred.
dwyer is not that exceptional, it's the offense they run that's scary.
Jesee Palmer also referred to Boris Becker as a baseliner, for what its worth. Dwyer is bigger, faster, stronger, plays with a less talented line, and has more breakaway than Knowshon, Oh, and I'm pretty certain he was also a more highly talented recruit coming out of high school. Time will tell, obviously, but Knowshon really didn't play well against a good defense this year. He's a great, though overrated, college back who probably won't do much in the NFL.
Actually, they were about equal for their respective years. Dwyer was listed as being slightly smaller and faster, but he's beefed up like crazy in the past two years. Knowshon's still on the modest side of 200.
