I've got one for you. I'm one of the older guys on this forum, so here's a list of players I've seen play live (all having played for or having been opponents of the Sooners.)  Heisman Trophy winners RG3, Bradford, Tebow, Bush, Leinart, Jason White, Crouch, Ricky Williams, Salaam, Sanders, Rozier, Campbell, Sims, Dorsett, and Owens. (missed out on Weinke, Manziel, Marcus Allen, Johnny Rodgers and Pat Sullivan).  A few other notables were Greg Pruitt, Leroy Selmon, Joe Washington, John Elway, Lawrence Taylor, Thurman Thomas, Kellen Winslow Adrian Peterson Troy Aikman, Vince Young and Tommy Frazier.

Wow!
LT and Elway. Very cool. Not too many people I bet can say they saw those two guys and two of the greatest NFL players of all time too.

First of all..... greatest College player IMO to ever play the game.

Second, here is a great story most dont know.....


Tommie was actually committed to Clemson. He had a great relationship with Clemson and the coaching staff.... But, there was a wise old cat named, Tom Osborne...maybe you heard of him... got Tommie to make a trip up so he could get a visit in. Tommie's plane landed that day in Nebraska. The weather was out of this world mild for that time of year... Tommie loved how nice the weather was, he asked Tom. Tom, is it always this beautiful in Nebraska??? Tom said, of course it is. It's like this year round.... not too long after that, Tommie flipped his commitment and was a cornhusker.

The rest was history.

Frazier doesn't get the credit he deserves because those Nebraska teams were so talented on both sides of the ball. The national championship game vs Florida in '96 is etched in memory.  I was in a bowl pick'em for big $$ that came down to me and a guy in a tiebreaker situation but I needed at least 73 points total to win. We know what happened.

On a tangent......who doesn't miss the old Thanksgiving weekend games between OU and Nebraska? A&M/Texas..........Pitt/WVU......who's next?.......all casualties of the creation of the super conferences.

I'll never forget when Elway and Stanford came to Norman and he single handedly took the Sooners apart. One of the best games I've ever seen an individual have against OU in Norman.  LT didn't fare so well.........he was a non-factor.

Family has had GT season tix for roughly 45 years and I've been going to games since the late 80's.  Seen lots of wild games and great players.  Two of the games that stick out are the '99 GT/UGA game won by GT in o.t. 51-48.  Joe Hamilton vs Quincy Carter.  Neither team could stop the other.  And Calvin Johnson's coming out party at Clemson in '04.  CU was dominating the whole game & lead 24-7 with about 5 or 6 mins left.  GT reeled off 3 td's & won 28-24. 

Have seen at least 2 Heisman winners - Charlie Ward & Chris Weinke, and one runner up - Joe Hamilton.  Joe was robbed by fat behind Ron Dayne.  Have also seen Peyton Manning, Matt Ryan, Matt Stafford, Warrick Dunn, Derrick Brooks, Peter Warrick, Jamal Lewis, Julius Peppers, David Pollack, Knowshon Moreno, Garrison Hearst, Algae Crumpler, Heath Miller, Tiki Barber, Chris Long, Demaryius Thomas, Morgan Burnett, Micahel Johnson, & Derrick Morgan.

Seen a total of 39 teams and 15 different stadiums.

ACC - seen 12 (all but the 2 newest, Syr & Pitt)

SEC - seen 8 (UGA, UF, UT, LSU, AU, SC, MSU, VU).  I'm the opposite of jwheels, AU is like 1-8 when I go to their games.  My AU buddies beg me not to go & even offer to pay me to stay at home lol.

B1G - seen 1 (Nebraska)

B10 - seen 1 (Kansas)

P12 - seen 1 (Arizona - the "Desert Swarm" defense of '94)

Have also seen BYU, Navy, Army, So. Miss, MTSU and a whole host of cream puffs.

Disagree on frazier.  I go back to 60s and just as alcindor was far and away the most dominant college player in bball, in my view, v young was the most dominant college fball player.  He singlehandely won a national cship, which dont think can be said bout any other player, including frazier
