Two things; one, his high school coach should’ve been fired, two, I did not know that his mother was a registered nurse.

Had to sit on the bench because Oklahoma State had Thurman “Thermal” Thomas ahead of him.

Barry wasn’t just the best. he was the most humble guy in all of sports for the amount of talent he had. I don’t recall even one arrogant word from him.

He thought Barry was too soft and afraid to get hit. Barry was the back up until the starter got suspended. Barry might’ve spent his life as a bricklayer if that suspension doesn’t happen. Let that sink in.

That’s what I meant. OSU had a remarkable backfield—maybe the best in college if all-time.

I have a soft spot in my heart for that stupid coach. Without him, no way Barry winds up at my beloved Oklahoma State.

Best of all time at any position … if you look at it from the viewpoint of : who had the most unique ability, that would have been equally successful no matter when or where they played?

Barry Sanders.

Emmitt Smith on Barry Sanders:

“But he was so amazing at making people miss out of the space — he was ridiculous. And, to me, he’s the best running back I’ve ever seen play the game in terms of what his skillset offers. That’s just my personal opinion.”
