    However, "ever" means ever....both now and yesteryear. Your comment about yesteryear was probably also said back then when comparing to athletes in the 30s, and will likely be echoed 30 years from now about today's players. Not sure what your point is with that.

    OK...I could see that, but that is not what you said originally.

    However, I would not necessarily bet against a college team against what I saw yesterday. Antonio Andrews? Mett? That revolving door of OL scrubs (not too many college superstars out there right now I don't think).

    That said, this is a pointless discussion since these matchups never happen anymore.

    b-b-but it's Bama and they are in the almighty SEC which everyone knows would be the best division in the NFL.

    plus the college kids probably treated that as their biggest game ever, and the nflers treated it as they do probowls these days.

    Yep.. A once in a lifetime, highly motivated college team might have a chance vs a non-caring, dysfunctional NFL team who hardly tries. Talent is a big part, but not everything.

    If the US amateur hockey team could beat Russia's all-professional team in the Olympics (miracle on ice), then almost anything is possible. That is a much bigger talent disparity than NCAA to NFL.

    Russia cheated the rules and had their absolute best players in the country, in the Olympics, people who would be NHL players now. And Russia is a hockey juggernaut. Much more so than the USA. All of the USA's guys were absolute amateurs (as the rules demanded)

    It's pretty much like NHL vs. NCAA.

    As noted earlier, the Super Bowl winners used to play a game against college all stars. I remember specifically as a kid seeing The Steelers playing College All Stars.
    Bartkowksi and Walter Payton were the leaders of the college team and almost beat the Super Bowl champs..
    How freakin weird is that game?
