Dude was a white, slow, full-back looking guy with short legs that wasn't highly-touted and dropped 1100 yards rushing and 12 TDS.

That's going to get remembered. We might as well have been playing a unicorn that year.

So you're saying he's remembered mainly for being white?

Can't say I'd argue that but I think the championship year and UF game are what really solidify his legacy IMO

Hester is extremely underrated as a running back. They knew he was coming and couldn’t stop him.
How many people did he truck game in and game out? Florida and Tennessee come to mind right now.

I suppose if he had been a black short slow full-back looking guy who dropped 1100 yards and 12 TD's he would probably be remembered also

But yes the unusual is always remembered. It's not because he's white it's because he's unusual.

If a black guy ever wins 3 gold medals in Olympic swimming in one year he'll be more famous than Michael Phelps ever was.

Without a doubt, that Florida game was something to behold. hester carried the team on his back as he PLOWED through UF's defenders on his way to scoring the winning TD. One of the best performances ever witnessed in an LSU game!
