O.J.Simpson

[Ubeja Vontell]

It was around 1964 and there I sat on those hard bleachers seats at Ratcliff Stadium in Fresno, the next event on the track the JC 4x1 relay. I'm checking out the athletes names in my program....

San Francisco City College.....Orenthal James Simpson, that was my intro to O.J.Simpson. I'm thinking.....cool name!

All I remember about the race is Simpson has a huge head.

I didn't know he was the nation top JC running back, would find out later.

Then I forgot about him.

Now it's around 1966 and this O.J.Simpson is tearing it up at USC, he's running wild. He's making the 60 and 100m NCAA finals AND running a leg on USC's WORLD RECORD 4x1 team. On the football field....

His size speed combo a rarity now add that elusiveness.



As a Buffalo Bill he started off slow, it got so bad there was .....is he a bust....talk. Well once they got the o line right all that changes and he became........




In my opinion he is one of the top 10 greatest running backs ever. He is the fastest of that top 10.
