Didn't the HOF move to South Bend from Mason? What happened there, Notre Dame go through a dry spell of mediocrity and overhype?

Just wasn't drawing the people in South Bend. The wife and I were there a few years ago, and the location itself was terrible. Right in downtown, not near the ND campus. It just wasn't going to draw people on non-game days. The only reason we went was because we were visiting relatives in Elkhart, and decided to take an extra day to visit the HOF.

Former Georgia football coach is being inducted into College Football's Hall Of Fame. He coached UGA for 15 years and had a 145-51, 83-37 record. He had 1 team finish the season at #2 and 1 team finish the season at #3. He only had 1 losing season and 4 years UGA finished the season unranked.

Compare that to Kirby Smart's record: 7 seasons, 81-15, 48-9, 8-1 in bowl games, 2 National Championships, after his initial year (2016) he never finished below #7 in the polls.

Smart has been an upgrade over Richt, but part of Georgia's rise is due to the fact that the state of Georgia increasingly produces a lot of elite high school football talent. Georgia and Ohio have about the same population and, 20 years ago, produced about the same number of NFL players. Today, Georgia produces about twice as many NFL players as Ohio does. Georgia is now the clear number four state, after the big three, in producing elite football talent (and they're closer to the big three than they are to number five, Ohio). That growth in local talent accounts for some, but not all, of Georgia's recent success.

Don't know if this is the right place but there's a thread going on twitter about the 5 best college football players you ever saw (don't count NFL careers.) Mine would probably be in some order (I didn't do any research, just thought about it for a couple minutes, and I purposefully excluded Buckeyes to try and be more objective)

Reggie Bush
Charles Woodson
Ed Reed
Adrian Peterson
Tim Tebow

I have said for a very long time that IMO Charles Woodson may be the best football player ever. Of course we all know how good he was in he college. But in the NFL he was equally as dominating. Dude played for 18 years in the NFL and made the Pro-Bowl his final year. Walked away from the game because in my opinion it bored him.,,hehehhe, Ok so maybe not because he was bored but he was a beast and again I feel like he has been overlooked a bit by the masses due to playing a position that if you are good no one throws your way and you can seem to go silent when in reality it is just no one wants to mess with you. And yes I realize he may have played college football somewhere but I am not holding that against him since he could not go right to the Pros out of HS. He is also an Ohio dude and again a complete badass.

Moved from King's Island to Notre Dame. Wouldn't surprise me if the foundation that runs it wouldn't turn it into a Notre Dame slobfest, so the domers told them to find another home.

It moved from South Bend to Atlanta in 2014. When it was in South Bend, it was Downtown, not at the ND campus. Source: was there a couple times. NJotre Dame has their own "Hall of Fame" facility. It's across one of the parking lots from their stadium.
