I was looking for the 1000 yards rushing club and came across this list that has all the rushers and their yards since the 1950s. I thought some of you might enjoy perusing the list.

Some thoughts (not assisted by AI):

- It now takes 2500 rushing yards to crack the Top 10
- Kamari Mouton currently sits at #31 with 1349 rushing yards, two years eligibility left
- Jazium Patterson sits at #50 with 862 rushing yards
- Jackson Stratton has 4 yards rushing, way down there
- Chuck Hartlieb is in last place at #408 with -387 yards rushing, -7 behind Matt Sherman at #407
- I remember many of these names but not all

How would you feel if you were one of the 10 that are below Deacon Hill?

Fry, this might be a good thread to pin at the top of football.

It gets updated after every game. Next year we'd be able to watch Kamari make a run at 2000, Jazium go over 1000, X, Nathan and the rest of them making their marks.

Would it be -7 yards behind for Hartlieb if he is after Sherman? If he is last, wouldn't he actually either be 7 yards behind Sherman, or -7 yards ahead? I like thinking about that.

Looking through stats on SportsReference is always a wild ride. I spend WAY too many hours on that site looking at college football and MLB stats. Hours upon hours.

Here's one for you...

Colten Rastetter had 109 punts and averaged 38.4 Y/P

CJB had 2 punts and averaged 35 Y/P

Nate Stanley had 6 and averaged 34.3 Y/P

Now...here's the thing...Rastetter and Nate played the exact same years. For a 4.1 yard difference between the two of them, wouldn't it have been well worth it to just let Nate punt full-time to keep the defense on their toes like MSU did to us because they didn't want to kick to Wetjen? I mean if your best punter is the worst in program history, let Nate stand back there and have the option to throw the ball and make a play. At the very least his punt isn't going to be returnable because they wouldn't have had anyone deep...

We don't cotton to that kind of outside-the-box thinking 'round these parts...why don't you take your radical ideologies elsewhere!

That's not a bad idea. But, does Nate have an uncle that's a multi-million dollar donor?

I thought about this a bit myself then decided, screw it, and went with -7!
