    I was at the Auburn-Nebraska game in 1982. I had heard people talking about this freshman Vincent Jackson dude. This was before the internet, College Game Day etc. Auburn was still in the rebuilding stage and they got man-handled by the Nebraska roid-huskers but not before Vincent became "BO" on one play. He took a pitch and swept to his left. He turned it upfield and headed straight for our section. We had the perfect view! To roid-huskers broke down to hit him low. The freshman hit the brakes inside the five, throwing his body into a somersault. He flew right over the DBs who were still grasping at air as Bo landed on his butt three yards deep in the end zone! The crowd went nuts. He got up, handed the ball to the ref and jogged to the sideline like nothing had happened. That was and is BO. I told my buddies we should probably keep an eye on this Vincent kid.

  • @MichaelJohnson-fc9fc
    @MichaelJohnson-fc9fc Před 4 lety +7

    Imagine the discipline Bo grew up with. He was taught a young age and was heads n shoulders above the athletes around him. The ridicule he had to have heard about his speech impediment but yet he ignored them and pushed forward. That to me is above all else is his greatest quality. By 7th grade he would of beat the snot of the kids who made fun of him. But his mom or grandma wouldn't of allowed that. People forget Jim Thorpe was one hell of an athlete back in his day as well and he never got the respect he deserved. He was an all around athlete. I think because he was native that was held against him and you never did get the accolades or the respect he deserved. I think if Bo had stuck to football he'd had every record in the book for a RB. He was that good. It'll take one hell of a man to knock Bo off as the greatest athlete in my generation. I didn't care for Auburn. I'm an Iowa guy. And we all hate the Raiders. Im a Cowboys Fan !!But I loved George Brett n the Royals. Lol

    I'm glad we got to witness what little we did of this man's abilities, but sad at the same time bc of what could of been. He was taken out in his prime and I can only imagine how many more crazy highlights he would of produced and would of probably been in the hof in both sports.

    05:13. Bo is stutterer. He was a very bad tempered kid because he lashed out at people who made fun of his stuttering. You can see his wife, telling him to slow down and breath before he answers with a hand signal. Great support from his wife and I am happy that he is described as a GOAT (Greatest of ALL Time). Though he didn't play in both games long enough. He deserves honorable mention in the Major Leagues and Football HOF.

      On 2Wheels . It's weird that I saw your comment because watching Astros' Springer MVP videos is what led me here. Springer is also a stutterer and that's how he got so much into sports. Anger is also a common issue because they can't articulate so there's always a language barrier and it makes them frustrated. Huh, the more you know

      Hey Ethan , I see you're a Big Fan of Bo Jackson so I figured someone who knows his career would be the person to ask .... What was Bo better at between those two major sports.?? And did he actually get into the Hall of fame for both..?? Just curious ...... he was WAY before my time but I hear so much about him that I had to watch a few of these " Bo videos " and see for myself. However , they don't show too much of his highlights , so I don't really know How Good he actually was..?!?

    Always respected superstar athletes who were low-key and stayed out of the limelight. To my knowledge, Bo has always been tied to Alabama and Missouri. Herschel Walker to Georgia. Larry Holmes to his roots in Easton, PA, and Barry Sanders and Tim Duncan are so low key, that I'm not sure which states they reside in.
    Always intrigued by the freakish natural strength, explosive power, and speed of 3 guys who claim to never have spent much time lifting weights: Bo Jackson, Herschel Walker, and Mike Tyson.
    I went to high school (waaaay back in the day), when almost nobody spent a whole lot of time in the gym lifting, with a kid (ironically, also named Vincent), who was about 5'6" and just naturally very muscular, especially for back in those days. Actually, I have known 2 or 3 younger guys from 'back in the day' who did not lift weights on anything approaching a regular basis. They were just naturally very strong.
