Ed Aschoff: Cam Akers

[HD6]

Easily the second best back in the city during the 1993 season.

Going out and half assing it in a football game is abt the best way to get hurt.

Jamaal Williams, but Jamaal's stats were inflated because of a stud OL named Brian Hadad.

 

[AtomicDawg]

I just had to say that Jamaal Williams was nowhere near the best back from Vbg in 1993! That's one instance where stats will fool you. Maybe the best private school back. Lol smh.

 

[dawgstudent]

So Chandler Smith? I can definitely see your side on that.

 

[HD6]

He didn't go to a private school.

 

[mcdawg22]

You are crazy. Another one nobody knows about is Lawrence "Punchy" Steed. He was better than KP all day.

I guarantee you Steed at least look good doing it.

Speaking of KP, he had the best infield glove I've ever seen. If he had been better at the plate, he could have gone a long way in baseball.

 

[AtomicDawg]

Anytime you have to pay to go to the school I consider it private school. Those guys would not have played a down at WC or Vicksburg. Chandler would have played at Vbg that year as their dbs were young. I'm sorry bro. Somebody comparing Williams to Brian Darden is crazy or Steed to KP is lunacy. It's bad enough most on here don't want to give Akers his due but to say those guys are better than the ones mentioned is hilarious...One other thing, I am glad we have Kylin Hill but it makes us look bad when people try to downplay Akers' exploits and it really chaps my hide that people try to use the Ms-Al game as a barometer of greatness. Let's just be honest. Those guys were not going to allow Akers to run free on them. Constantly received extra attention that allowed Hill to get yards. I wish both of these guys luck in the future. I am from Vbg and went to school with Cam's dad. He was a heck of a RB and DB. Injuries derailed his career but they are a great family and for all intensive purposes he is a great kid. History will tell who's right and wrong as far as his greatness.

 

[thatsbaseball]

Kinda OT but do any of you V`Burg guys remember Eddie Ray ? He was a damn stud back in the day, he as a matter of fact helped me with my decision to give up playing football.

 

[HD6]

I called it DS. What's worse is he created the account to tell us all this.

 

[AtomicDawg]

You had a 1st post once upon a time too. Is there a problem? One thing you'll learn about me son. I don't bite my tongue. If i'm saying something you don't like let's discuss.

 

[HD6]

You created an account, bumped a 5 day old thread and wrote all of that in response to a joke I was making to a former teammate of mine. I'm glad that high school football from 23 years ago is so important to you.

 

[dawgstudent]

Yes. Eddie is one of the few that played in the NFL from St Al. I played with one of his nephews.

 

[thatsbaseball]

Played on some good LSU teams too.

 

[AtomicDawg]

I created an account 1st because I just ran across this. 2nd I can comment if it's 50 days old If I want to bub. Didn't know there was a statute of limitations on when I could comment. Sorry you got your panties ruffled. Let's just move on. I'll continue to comment and hopefully you won't criticize if I post beyond a day or 2.

A more accurate knock is that he doesn't appear to be a natural at tailback at this point. If he can develop the necessary qualities then the sky's the limit. If not then it's more likely he ends up as a safety or a role player somewhere on offense, neither of which set up for a Heisman campaign. It's true though that size won't have a bearing on his success, whatever position he ends up at.

 

[BELdog]

Well, that certainly escalated quickly. You can always spot an *** hole when they start using words like "son" and "bub" to describe someone on a message board.

 

[AtomicDawg]

Let me retire from this free board. BELdog the only ******* is you for chiming in on a convo that didn't involve you. Instead of calling you son I'll call you a *****.

Agreed. I've seen him play a few times. He's a great athlete. Not sure if he's a good football player or not.

 

[patdog]

You better believe it's important.

 

[lasher8]

There's this private message function that works well for private convos. Oh...and 'bye.

[HammerOfTheDogs]

He also said the best ever MS high school player he'd put after himself was Ronnie Ducksworth, a RB from West Jones in the early 80's.

Story I heard about Ducksworth- He had a red wristband on one arm, a blue on on the other. The QB would call "Red" or "Blue"- to show which way Ducksworth would run.

Never panned out in college, and was killed trying to rob a store.

 

[BELdog]

Ha. Gotta love an internet bad ***.

 

[AtomicDawg]

You should've told the other guy that before addressing me....lol lasher8

Going to need a ruling folks. This appears to be a Rule 14 situation. Give me just 3 SPS Magazines and my path will be clear.

 

[lasher8]

Why should I have told the the other guy(whoever you're referring to). You're the one who was under the impression that posts on a public message board don't involve the other people who read and post. LOL indeed...

I vote keep him. He's no worse than Goat.

 

[HotMop]

WHO ARE YOU CALLING A *****! I have a gender confused dog that is offended by this comment!

 

[DerHntr]

Holy hell. We should ban him just for that thought running through your head.

 

[MarkDallas]

No one is a bigger KP fan than me, but I will concede that he wasn't the best WR on his own HS team. James "Blue" Jones was better at WC. I believe he signed with State out of high school but got caught smoking weed with Derrick Tate before the session and was dismissed.

 

[BELdog]

Ah hell, let him stay. This board needs an internet bad *** of his level. It will be interesting.

 

[Reunion Dog]

Don't forget David Fair... Best RB I had seen other than MD.. He was a prop 48.. his 1st season was his soph yr. He had 2 80 yr td runs vs TN in Starkville. If he would have stayed healthy... He would havee been playing on Sundays... A lot.... Look him up on YouTube. He was special.....

I do appreciate you adding 'for all intensive purposes' to the glossary before you retired. Can't wait to use that gem in a post.
