re: What was it like watching Barry Sanders in college?

I think he was only on TV on the east coast once before bowl season. I remember they would always cut in to show a highlight of Okie St, and he'd be doing something amazing, but that was it. But I think Bedlam was the only time I ever saw him.

College football was more of a newspaper sport back then, and I remember sitting at the kitchen table on Sunday morning, looking at his amazing numbers in each box score. I do remember some talk that he really wasn't that good because the Big 8, outside of Nebraska and OU, was lousy and OSU lost to both of them.
