Miami is next to leave the acc.

[@RamblingRob-vi7ct]

Thurman Thomas whom is NFL HoF played same school and was teammate with Barry Sanders that was a great backfield

[@davidjohns4223]

Dang I hate this interview. Now I am convinced Drink is very competent. Something I didn’t think I would ever say. GBO!!!

[@randy129]

Darren McFadden to get South Carolina on Halloween night 2007. 34 carries for 321 yards one rushing touchdown and one passing touchdown for 23 yards. That was a great game. Teams we’re putting eight guys in the box and when he cleared the linebackers it was nothing but green grass. They did not know how to handle that guy. terrifying.

[@Theplaymaker1271]

Melvin Gordon's 2014 season is criminally underrated

[@sly7634]

Wouldnt be underrated if he showed up in the big ten championship game. He and the team laid a giant dud getting smacked 59-0 and ziek stole the show going for over 200 and gordon couldnt even get 100. 3.8 ypg vs 11 ypg is a significant difference on the big stage

[@RBmess26]

Reggie bush !!!

[@JustinBug81]

Love Drink’s comments on NIL. He don’t Love it but Smart enough to use it!!!

[@MrZzyzxx]

Ndamukan Suh..............unbelievable - just ask Texas

[@emac7050]

Yeah they really are sour about losing to him, oh wait

[@MrZzyzxx]

good one !.........Longhorns won longest non-overtime game in history - LOL@@emac7050

[@kirbytowns5451]

Peter Warrick and Reggie Bush don’t even get mentioned!😂

[@josephrank2165]

Peter Warrick was straight madness! Hard to not have him top of the table…

[@anthonybuford4477]

There is only one player I know of that every TV in the country tuned in to watch play he was unbelievable he's name is Herschel walker. Period

[@DavidBlankenship-pc6or]

De'Anthony Thomas Oregon

[@randy129]

Michael vick. Reggie bush. Barry sanders. Darren Mcfadden.

[@DavidBlankenship-pc6or]

Are you going to Eugene to talk to Dan Lanning. I am just wondering?

[@mikecummings8709]

I'd bet money on it

[@glennwarshaw5982]

Adrian “All Day” Peterson from OU is the most exciting college football player I have ever seen! Boomer Sooner!

[@Ace0000087]

Troy Davis at Iowa State. Everyone knew he was getting the ball and still couldn't stop him. Only player close to what he did with 2 back to back 2000+ yard rushing seasons is Barry Sanders.

[@Pipsqueak-]

Criminal he didn’t win a Heisman.

[@lawrencematthes8948]

Who?

[@GeorgeWoodruff-hg7un]

Little Joe Washington he was electric playing for OU Sooners!!

[@mark_a_vigil]

I sure hope that Josh Pate makes it to Oklahoma since he is going to several other SEC teams already.

[@damm41]

As an sec fan I will NEVER get espn to watch my team play. I hate them. They are destroying this sport.

[@billhooten6377]

I'm older than most, but Johnny Rodgers (Nebraska) was the most electric and entertaining football player that I have ever seen.

[@Powerflmale]

I saw him as a kid on Thanksgiving 1971 against OU. Electric doesn't cover it!

[@lawrencematthes8948]

Wow. And I thought I was old. Was Red Grange as good as they say? 😆

[@Britton_Thompson]

Most entertaining? Either Johnny Manziel or Scam Newton

[@tonybelt7885]

Great show Josh Pate!!!

[@MaudeWhite-yc6ji]

DERRICK MFKN THOMAS 22 SACKS N 1 YR....ROLLLLL TIIDEEE

[@DaveBeard-se5go]

Loved watching Derrick Henry run the ball!!!!!!

[@JeremyHoyboo]

Derrick Thomas was the most electric player I've ever seen.

[@bjaypk2669]

Eli is correct. College football is the greatest sport in the world! Don’t let ABC/ESPN/ Disney or pure evil destroy it.

[@brockcastleberry1154]

Solid solid list Josh I would add Reggie Bush, Brian Bosworth, and Adrian Peterson then call it a (all)day 😉💯

[@darrellpaige3846]

Reggie Bush

[@TheDrRJP]

PETER WARRICK was the most entertaining football player ever. DEION SANDERS was the 2nd most entertaining football player ever.

[@cacogenicist]

I suppose it is safe assume that the PAC-2 is on the phone with Cal and Stanford. Reggie Bush, easy. How the heck do you not mention him? My under the radar guy is De'Anthony Thomas -- incredibly fun to watch as well.

[@davidg2113]

This, and I am a UW fan. Reggie Bush is the best college football player I’ve seen in my lifetime. DAT was the scariest player with the ball in his hands I have ever seen. Dude just scored touchdowns with every touch.

[@LilBoiPeep69]

@@davidg2113not against texas…

[@graysonboyer899]

Johnson City TN

[@ahunt2117]

Christian McCaffrey, Reggie Bush, Charles Woodson, LaDainian Tomlinson, Denard Robinson, Jabrill Peppers, Adrian Peterson, and Devin Hester. Bo and Deion stand alone in terms of athleticism.

[@dougglenn4954]

Armanti Edwards Appalachian State. Passed for 10,392 yards and 74 TD's, rushed for 4,361 yards and 65 TD's in his career. Won 42 games as a starting QB. Engineered the biggest upset in the history of college football, 34-32 over # 5 ranked Michigan. One of only five players & two freshmen in history to pass for 2000 yards and rush for 1000 yards. Won four consecutive conference championships 2006, 07, 08 & 09. Won FCS National Championships in 2006 & 2007. First ever two time FCS Payton Award winner. Inducted into the College Football HOF in 2024. The most exciting player I've ever seen. If you have never seen any of his games I urge you to check them out.

[@LifesGood-nu6rd]

Charlie Ward FSU

[@kamjackson4811]

D’anthony thomas

[@andrewbowen2837]

Honestly, I liked a lot of immaculate QBs, Joe Burrow and Tua come to mind. Also, Big12 QBs back in the day who ran spread or Air Raid, people like RG3, Baker Mayfield, Pat Mahomes.... Case Keenum is one you'll never hear, but he was different too

[@mattwilson7344]

Michael Vick, Johnny Manziel, Reggie Bush, Darren McFadden, Peter Warrick, Eric Berry, Peyton Manning, and the list can go on.

[@mitchellsharp5301]

I disagree on Drinks take on the bowl games. Nobody cares about a 6-6 team playing a 7-5 team in the Gasparilla Bowl. Even die hard fans don't care. In 2024, if your team doesn't make one of these crappy bowls, you are probably thinking about firing the coach. How is that a reward to keep fans interested?

[@tulsavol6653]

Very good interview with Mizzou Head Coach. Wish you would have asked him to summarize his 2024 schedule challenges and how does he would rank it in difficulty compared to 2023.

[@briansmith5912]

Hershel Walker

[@OpenMikein7]

His point about 12 teams making the cfp out of 136 D-1 schools and how we should keep the fans engaged and chill on chasing money, etc.... 🔥 Drinkwitz, don't make me like you bro. Yall just be my team in the cotton bowl. 😭💯

[@joshuakent8898]

Saquon Barkley, Iowa 2017. Never seen a RB be unstoppable like that, especially with a subpar offense line

[@orewaemiliagasukida2262]

Might be biased cause it was my first season watching but Braxton Miller was it for me.

[@lawrencematthes8948]

If you ever get a half hour to watch a football video check out his college highlights. At least 30 incredible plays

[@briansmith5912]

basketball has WAY more Blue Blood Bias than football.. You cant tell me Kentucky, UNC, Duke, ( just to name a few) don't get preferential treatment.

[@russellglover6887]

Vick, Reggie bush, saquon Barkley, Calvin Johnson

[@dwainatchley7495]

Pate how u gonna have entertaining players an not mention the BEST LB of all time DERICK THOMAS

[@woady4134]

Sean Taylor🙌🏽🧡💚 One of the Goat’s of CFL! He was a game changer and he definitely put fear in eyes of an Offense🧡💚🙌🏽

[@wetblanket1977]

Barry Sanders, hands down, and its not particularly even close. 1988 was an awesome time to watch Oklahoma State This year wont be bad either 👈🤠👉

[@DKfishingandoutdoors]

Most entertaining player Denard Robinson. Very fun to watch because he just kind of made plays up.

[@MichiganMan1994]

Denard freaking Robinson? Reggie Bush? Charles Woodson??? Dude you missed some big ones

[@brucewallace3860]

Coach Drink has a number of really great thoughts on the direction of college football. Coaches such as Drinkwitz should be listened to by alums, presidents and boards of regents. Unfortunately, those three groups currently only listen to wins and money. That’s not a good direction for the game of football.

[@AZindani1]

Old school here. Anthony Carter Michigan Wolverines. He was electric

[@NameBrandCody]

VY was the most entertaining player to watch PLAY but the most entertaining player on and off the field was Johny Football… which pains me to say as a Texas fan.

[@trise4]

MIZ!

[@josephrank2165]

Eric Crouch!!! My favorite college player of all time man. He was a “Gamebreaker”

[@mallardcutter7209]

It’s a shame that the ACC is blowing up because it’s probably the best basketball conference in America. Lots of history there.

[@FakePhrank]

So glade to hear McFaddens name. I’m an Alabama fan but McFadden was my favorite back to watch.

[@mallardcutter7209]

ESPN has gotten too used to throwing around that Disney money. Pretty good chance that’s gonna to get cut off soon. As Disney is looking to sell off ESPN

[@WarDEagle2010]

As an Auburn fan, Cam Newton was the most electric player in my generation. War Eagle!

[@702TifosiGambler]

Manziel not in my Top10. I wouldn’t even have Manziel in my Top 10. Starting from 95 Reggie Bush #1 and it’s not even close distant #1 then just rattling off other names Charles Woodson ,Deathony Thomas, Darren McFadden, Percy Harvin, Tim Tebow, Michael Vick, Vince Young, Tyrann Mathieu, Lamar Jackson.

[@EulogyfortheAngels]

That list is great, but Manziel was absolutely more fascinating to watch than Tyrann Mathieu. Mathieu had splash plays every now and then on defense and returns. Manziel was a living backyard football highlight reel nearly every offensive drive.

[@702TifosiGambler]

@@EulogyfortheAngels I didn’t see it that way he struggled vs most of the good defenses that year UF,Ole Miss, LSU. He had a pretty good game vs Bama but Mike Evans also made some incredible plays that game. Manziel was a one year of production I intentionally left him off my list along with Cam and Moss. Mahommes throwing for 500+ 3x and putting up 700yds vs OU with “a bunch of guys” was more must see TV. I enjoyed Manziel I thought his personality and antics were more entertaining than his arm talent really good watch but for me not all time entertaining.

[@NDependentColts]

Not a bad list; but have to mention Reggie Bush. Even as an ND fan, I loved watching him play

[@SloanHyde]

watching from middle tennessee state university 👍🏻🔵⚪️

[@joecartwright9221]

Randy Moss is the most exciting (FREAK)!!!

[@markharris524]

My old high schools film room from 10 years ago nicer than that public school auditorium in Mizzou

[@georgeherring7370]

In 1969, Archie manning was unbelievable!

[@stuartmisfeldt3068]

Love to see the ACC explode. PAC 2 needs some teams beck. If this happens Utah will leave too.

[@johnbahl234]

I'm really surprised reggie bush wasn't mentioned in most entertaining players

[@edgeprobability]

Wish my boy would give me time stamps. Never click on the vids bc I never have an hour to watch

[@johnharodecki3550]

Uh pro sports how about The Kansas City Chiefs is not a big market and have won 3 super bowls in 6 years

[@sportsplug7578]

Johnny Manziel most exciting for sure !

[@UnenthusiasticSportsFan]

Tyrann Mathieu. Every time he took the field you knew he was going to end with the ball some way some how.

[@DevinHoyt]

Manziel was wild to watch baker was more fun but tebow was special!

[@SJHixon-fi1ub]

Marcus Mariota all day long. The guy dripped class and was electric on the field.

[@wayneorlando960]

The ACC and Big 12 need to merge and include Notre Dame in the process.

[@lawrencematthes8948]

Might be the best thing for Notre Dame. Cuz they apparently want no part of the Big 10.

[@devilfrawg4953]

Unfortunately, I think it's too late for a merger. The Alliance that was formed to exclude the Big 12 (pre-PAC implosion) has not been forgotten. However, 12 ACC schools will have landing spots between the B1G, SEC, and Big 12. WF, BC, Duke, Cal, and SMU would be wise to merge with WSU and Oregon St.

[@davidjohns4223]

Steve McNair was phenomenal!

[@blakenagy8399]

Isn't espn helping devalue the acc tho......?

[@auchaplainfci8336]

Bo Jackson was the most entertaining player for me to watch.

[@cindymikolajczyk9936]

Toledo,Ohio....Go Rockets!!!

[@tommyhendrix7849]

Walter payton went to a small college but he's the best running back i've ever seen

[@cdh378]

Most exciting to watch, it’s Reggie bush hands down

[@kevinjobe2078]

RIP Academy Sports.

[@johnlee7085]

Stinks that Drink was so likable. Rock Chalk.

[@johnparkins4814]

Famous Jameis is just a start for FSU to be recognized

[@earlesteinberg5647]

How could have left out Earl Campbell?

[@JonathanRamsey87]

RIP ACC its just a matter of Time sadly

[@justinlobello6613]

Watching from Flower Mound, Texas

[@paulmoonbear8989]

Lived in Bridlewood for 7 years, miss FloMo!

[@stevedotmiller]

Your comment about small market MLB teams is what the owners want you to think. Oakland is in a bigger “market” than if they’d move to Vegas and the owners who don’t try to win, aka spend on FA, don’t care about winning as much as using the team as a cash cow.

[@stevedotmiller]

All due respect, love the show

[@CidolfusTelamon]

Honey Badger got exposed in that Natty

[@Jabb135]

Texas USC championship game was the most exciting game I’ve ever watched. All the talent between those two teams was incredible. Watching as a CFB fan with no stake in the game it was one of the best games I’ve ever watched pro or college

[@LilBoiPeep69]

that and the boise st-ou fiesta bowl. electric

[@tallyrc]

Peter Warwick. Hands down..

[@rimmhardigan1973]

List begins and ends with Peter Warrick.

Coming from a Hurricane fan. Peter Warrick

[@derrickbradford8046]

Watching from Columbus, Ga

[@sacred1gaming]

CJ Spiller definitely deserved some love 💯

[@stuartmisfeldt3068]

Earl Campbell, Barry Sanders, Eric Dickerson, Bo Jackson, Chuck Muncie. Marcus Marriota, Dion Sanders, John Elway, Steve Young, Warren Moon

[@dannygowens9021]

Hoe in the love of heaven and our Lord Jesus do you leaveout Hershel?

[@9MilNorm]

There are a bunch of teams from the ACC that will be left to toil. GaTech, Wake Forest, Duke, NC State.

[@Jutilaje]

...Miami...

[@1nc1n3rated]

As electric as Cam was he's still only #2 at Auburn behind Bo when it comes to pure entertainment on the field (ignoring the media fest that was the off the field situation with Cam)

[@JustinBug81]

War damn Eagle!!! I’m old af and I have to that Cam was more entertaining to watch but I do believe Bo is my favorite player but that wasn’t the question.

[@ZacharyNowakowski-zj7gc]

Shawnee Ok

[@devilfrawg4953]

Max Duggan. The dude walked off the bench 2 weeks after having (actual) life-threatening heart surgery to bring TCU back in their game against ISU... and the next season, he's beating Michigan in the playoffs.
