Disclaimer: This is for fun yet kind of for real...
There is always a lot of talk around the TOP 10 in categories. As i grace the top 10 list in a few categories and hold the number 1 spot in some as well I often wonder where are the actual statistics taken from and who decides who makes the list. I often wonder is the true due diligence taken when these list are created? Are actual statistics kept up to date? Who is the person responsible when mistakes are made or players are snubbed? Well after short thought I realize this may never get answered. Is there even someone at the University of Minnesota that even cares about this kind of stuff? Well since my questions may never get answered let me set the record straight. (Pun Intended) The receiving yards record for a career order is correct but the total for that guy in the #2 spot is incorrect. Back in the 1999-2000 era bowl games weren't counted at times for yardage to final tallies. For TOP 10 points in a career if 180 points is truly number 10 then that too is incorrect. My name is Ron Johnson and I scored 31 touchdowns in my career. I graduated college after my 3rd year so I am smart enough to know 31 times 6 is 186 points. So that would actually be number on that TOP 10 scoring list. I mean so often receivers are overlooked when it comes to scoring because kickers and running backs are the easy targets. I hope that is a typo and Lloyd scored more than 180 points as a kicker. But if it is true I hope one day someone can change that. Or my guess is maybe David Cobb already jumped into the TOP 10. I guess we may never know until someone makes that change.
