Nile Kinnick....#48 on ESPN countdown....

[herkeye]

Simply Saturday - ESPN

I think he should be a little bit higher on the list....but that's just me.

You have to factor in the "SECSPN Formula"...hold on whilst I do the math...

Ok, got it! Had he played for Bama, he would have come in at #3...

Or maybe because he played in the late 1930's, and there are barely any people alive who saw him play. Kinnick was 30 years before anyone who played on that list, and football in the 30's barely resembles the game played today.

Throwing Kinnick on this list is slighty unfair because after college he enlisted and was shot down in the Pacific. Fighting for your country trumps anything a Pro football player will ever accomplish.

Did you even read the intro?

Also, Chuck Long is joining the list today, it seems.
