These were great times to be a fan.

Which of these legends got you the most excite when the ball was in their hand?

Jones

DMac

Pig Benis

McFadden, and it isn't close. I loved Jones too but #5 was a different animal.
The Lord wants you to put your foot on their balls and believe in it. 'Cuz that's what wins football games. Not jumping offsides like a bunch of wimps and faggots. I don't care what those pinkos over in Russia say. You want to be a loser? You go live in Russia. I'm a winner. I'm an American.

Did Matt Jones' 50 yard run from third and goal on the three yard line make it?

Opponents chasing him around like old silent movie cops.

Jones was a lot more likely to do something jaw dropping and it isn't even close.

Awful take

Meh...McFadden was just a running back...a great one no doubt.  But great running backs come and go.  I've never seen a player like Jones.

DMac for me but Jones was fun to watch too.  Jones was elusive, DMac would truck a mf'er while still being elusive. Can't even imagine what Jones and DMac would be together. Option would be unstoppable.

Jones got away with a lot of defenders misjudging his speed. McFadden was running between, thru, and away from dudes from Georgia and other big programs on the reg.

Says someone who apparently never watched Jones pull away from SEC corners.

Jones had speed no doubt but I don't remember him running thru contact too often. He had more long stride speed, DMac got to hi speed in a step or two. Different speed types

Jones.  He'd do things I'd never seen or could predict.

The very pants I was returning.

My vote is Matt Jones because he had the ball on every snap, and there was never any guessing what he was going to do with it.  McFadden was hampered by the general lack of a QB and an offense with the most obvious giveaway in football history when it was going to be a running play.  He's GOATed in Arkansas sports history for what he was able to accomplish despite that.

For $7 mil I'll put a webcam in front of my shitter so I can answer fan questions while I drop the Longhorns off in College Station.

DMac is the greatest football Hog.

Jones got me on the edge of my seat with every snap.

I give Jones a small lean as my favorite Hog. DMac is right there though.

Lol. McFadden revolutioned football with the Wildcat. Faced 8 man boxes and still did work. Two time Heisman finalist and should've won at least one. Hell, he was probably an equivalent passer to Jones. Gave his all every snap. Knocked himself damn near unconscious against Alabama. Jones didn't give a fuck about football or getting better. The league was also not the same as what McFadden faced.

If I had a favorite it may be Ken Hamlin.

I loved watching Jones befuddle DB's, but it's DMac all the way. He was built different.

DMac would run around and hit every defender on the field before scoring. He hit the hole quicker than anyone I have ever seen. He would be on your backfield in a split second. Jones, as they say, looked like a cow running on ice, but was still electric. They are equal in my eyes.
Well, shit...

This is by far the least terrible post you've ever made

Imagine if the UofA had actually pushed a DMac Housman campaign, if game day wasn't in town for the South Carolina game he probably doesn't go to NYC.

Jones was a freak but DMac made some very talented SEC defenses his bitch.
Check your damn blood pressure!
