Shonn Greene Omitted from the Top 5 RBs of the BTN Era

John Clay got cut today, Wednesday. I don't think SG got cut, did he? How is that working our for you, BTN?
 
The comments are brutal. He's not only not backing down, he's doubling down.

if I had to replace one of the top 5, it would be between Greene and Ringer.

In a conference that was loaded with running backs who had multiple really good seasons during this five-year period, someone is going to be left out. Michigan State fans probably think Ringer got the shaft, and Penn State fans probably feel the same about Royster.

Hart & Mendenhall played just one year in BTN era (like Greene)... and didn't freakin' John Clay lose his starting gig?

Clay lost his starting gig when teh Biels found out that he ate the entire town of Monroe, WI, and all the cheese therein.

That is a joke. BHGP did a nice job of exposing that. And having Helu on HM ticks me off as much as Greene not top 5...he never played a snap in the Big Ten...enough trying to go out of your way to make Nebraska feel important. If they were so important, pay em a full share of revenues

Your bitterness...I like it.

:D
 
Some may feel the national media are out to "get" Iowa, and it may well be true. The best way to counter that is to execute at or above expected levels. Beat the teams you should and win one or two that you're the dog. 7-5 seasons don't cut it. Simple.

Yarina's defense, via Twitter:

"B1G inherits Neb's history. Don't hear people complaining about inheriting MSU history prior to 53. Give it time- be same case."
 
Yeah, well all I can see about this is Yarina must be full of himself, and is not an unbiased enough "blogger" to capture my attention again. His logic is pretty illogical and he seems too pwaud of himself to admit he was wrong.
 
That guy is totally doubling down on his stupidity and is of course hanging on to the notion that EVERYONE who thinks Greene was snubbed on his list is a whiny Iowa fan. Brent Vagisil or whatever his name is needs to grow a thicker skin and not resort to childish games like "I know you are but what am I" games.

That's an interesting retort. What did MSU do prior to joining that has been touted by anybody?

Bubba Smith & Co.: 1965-66
Magic Johnson: 1979
Lorenzo White: 1985-87
Mateen Cleaves & Co.: 1999-2000

Not sure I've ever seen anybody attribute any 1940s or earlier MSU successes to the Big Ten/Western Conference.
 
what does how many years they played have anything to do with being the best? If they were one of the best they were one of the best it doesnt matter if they played 4 years or 1 year. Helu is a joke not only because he was never on the BTN but he was never that great at Nebraska. Ball is obvious number one. Greene should be top three no question. Ringer should be in top five over Clay.

I know right? Clay didn't even finish the season as the best back on his own team his last year. Shonn Greene single handedly beat teams that year... I really don't think you can even say the same for Helu besides maybe the missouri game, I mean we never had TMO as our quarterback in the same backfield??

Query...was there even a more decorated RB than Greene in the BTN era?

If so, who? Clay from Wisconsin? Don't think so.
 
My question is where Greene would fall in the last 5 years in the Big 6 conferences. I don't see how he would be outside of the top 10.
