re: Is there a bigger f-up than Marshall Faulk being told he had to be a DB?

Was just chatting with some friends about LA players leaving the state, and how Faulk was told by LSU that he'd have to change position.

All the SEC schools wanted him to play DB.

Granted, almost every school told him that and that's why he went west (correct me if I'm remembering this wrong).

Right - MF is a relatively smart guy (I assume you've seen him do analysis since he retired) - the story goes, he said, "If I have to go down in competitive level to play RB, I might as well go to SDSU and live on the beach for 3 or 4 years."

And he did. Like a boss.
