Herschel Walker Kicks Ass (Literally)

PrintSG Standard beat me to the punch, but (in this, the winter of Bulldog Nation's discontent) it bears repeating that Herschel Walker is still from Krypton a great ambassador for the University of Georgia. As SB Nation reports:
Herschel Walker dominated Greg Nagy for the entire fight en route to earning a TKO win as Greg Nagy was unable to defend himself after Walker took his back.
It was sloppy, as would be expected from most men's debuts but the fact that Herschel Walker fought a fast paced fight at 47 years old and when the fight ended was still breathing through his nose is simply amazing. That kind of cardio at 23 is amazing, at 47 it is simply unheard of.
I'm really glad I didn't have to write the headline "Down Goes Herschel! Down Goes Herschel!" I think it might have been more than I could bear. Good for the Goal Line Stalker, though.
Go 'Dawgs!

This man needs no adjectives
The only thing that the fight needed was Larry Munson doing the commentary. “My God, a 47-year old!”
I'll take two
can I have them gift wrapped and delivered?

It may be the winter of our discontent, but it has been made glorious summer (if only for tonight) by this Son of Wrightsville.
May all the dark clouds that low’r upon our house be in the deep bosom of the ocean buried.
The other night the issue of his “remaining year of eligibilty” came up. I know its just a fantasy, but what would you give to be able to yell at the radio “Give the ball to Herschel” and have it be a real possibility?

Two reasonably raised yet still
barely functional teenage boys – for a start.

ok - that was bad ass without being a bulldog fan - he is 47 freaking years old! that being said
can he play basketball? he has 4 years left, i think.

I admit, I was scared to death
while watching Herschel’s fight. Of course, in the end, I felt guilty for ever having any doubt. As mentioned above, it was a sloppy fight and it seemed like #34 lacked the necessary killer instincts as might be indicated by the crowd chanting for Herschel to knee Nagy at one point during the match. Still, it was his first fight and though he might have been over matched against his opponent, Herschel clearly showed that he still has it. At 47 he still has it.
To me, even had he not achieved all that he has since that 1980 season, I would have still considered him one of the best athletes ever. Now, not only do I still think that, I’m also a little afraid of him. Thank Dawg I’m on his side.
Herschel
A life size copy of that picture should be posted in the weight room at UGA TODAY! Great job Herschel. Just goes to show, once a kick ass Dawg, always a kick ass Dawg!
I was thinking we needed 2 real live Herschel's
gift wrapped and delivered to the weight room – there’s a whole lot of boys on the team.

UGA should devote it's next BCS payout to developing a cloning program
Then just line up in the jumbo package every play and have #34.1 hand the ball off to 34.2, 34.3, 34.4, 34.5, and 34.6. We can win a couple NC’s before the NCAA irons out the rules about clone eligibility.
Leaving insightful football commentary and analysis to other people since 2006.
We could even run the "wild clone" formation
Also, is there a fullback you’d rather have running interference for Herschel than Herschel?
Go 'Dawgs!

BUT
what if these clones end up being like the “dehydrated henchmen” the Penguin had? If the player turns into a pile of dust, is it still considered a fumble?
