🏈 "Biscuit" planning on boycotting the College Hall of Fame....

[TerryP]

Birmingham, AL (WIAT) Cornelius Bennett played alongside Derrick Thomas for 2 years at the University of Alabama, and like many others can’t quite seem to understand why Thomas is yet to be elected into the College Football Hall of fame.

“You know, every thing is so political these days, I guess I’ve got a personal boycott going forward”Bennett said, “You have to kind of play that game, a beat them at their own game kind of thing ”


Inducted into the CFB Hall of Fame back in 2005, the 5-time Pro Bowl linebacker sees no other possible explanation other than politics for his former teammate not being posthumously elected into the hall by the National Football Foundation voters.


“What he accomplished in college football you know his sack record from his senior year is still out there you know consensus All-American. What he did professionally is just unparalleled so there’s no doubt that he should be in the college football hall of fame”.

I am hoping the ATL thing is why the Hall waited on Thomas.

I don't follow your logic...what does he have to do with Atlanta.

X2.

'tick normally has a point but I missed it as well.

X3! I'm lost on the connection 'tick is trying to make.

I think hes trying to say having a big player from the south inducted when it comes to ATL I guess tho I would imagine a big star from Georgia or Georgia Tech would be a bigger draw.

What he is saying is that DT will be inducted next year. In Atlanta. The rumor is that is why he was not inducted this year. They are saving him for Atlanta.

 

[planomateo]

Why do you save someone for Atlanta...that's ignorant thinking. Give the man his props instead of making a statement and pissing people off.

If they are doing this to save him for Atlanta, then I will NEVER step foot in the building regardless of who's in it. That's just ignorant.

It should have stayed in South Bend.

Until he's inducted I won't be going to the HOF I don't care where it is. They could put the damn thing in my garage and I wouldn't go

 

[Bamabww]

I can not understand why he has not been inducted either. It's along the same lines as Heart being in the R&R HoF and The Moody Blues are not.
