2005 College Football Season

Does anyone remember the 2005 College Football Season? Do you really? What I am talking about has nothing to do with the championship, Heisman, Outland Trophy, none of that.

I remember the days during the 05 season, when Reggie Bush and Devin Hester were both juniors, Ted Ginn, Jr. was a sophomore and a young DeSean Jackson was a freshman. ESPN's College Gameday Final had me at odds with myself. Do I go out to the party that ends at 2am, or do I stay here and watch College Gameday Final which will not begin until at least midnight and last for an hour. TiVo was a no go back then for me. No dinero homie.

Why did I need to watch it so bad, duh, because some of the best playmakers in College Football History were doing their thing.

I don't think there was a week that Bush, Hester, Ginn, or Jackson didn't score a spectacular touchdown.

I'm saddened today because none of the players today in the game are nearly that dynamic. I mean yes, there is DeMarco Muarry, Noel Devine, Graig Cooper, Pat White, Percy Harvin, Jahvid Best, Preston Parker, Joel McKnight and Moreno at UGA, but lets be real. Are we being thrilled with the plays that Bush, Hester, Jackson and Ginn gave us. Not by a long shot, and that's no disrespect to those holding it down now, its respect to those who killed it in 2005. So lets pay tribute to these boys.
