  Not sure who on here was all over his nuts, but he's in the arena league now...

  thread of the year
• karen lotz

  

  There was someone on here who was outraged when he didn't win the Biletnikoff last year. That made for some interesting conversation.

  Who the hell is Freddie Barnes?
• karen lotz

  

  WR from BGSU. Graduated last year. He set a few records for career receptions, maybe receptions in a season and someone was all over him saying he should have been an All American, win the Biletnikoff over Golden Tate, and would be a solid NFL WR for years to come. I, along with many others, argued that he nothing more than a system guy and only put up numbers because of the team he was on and who they played against. If I recall correctly, he didn't even get invited to the NFL combine and wasn't drafted.

  Just looked it up, he set the all divisions record for receptions in a season last year with 155 and had 16 TDs. He had 22 catches for 278 yards and 3 TDs in a game against Kent State which left him 1 short of the record for receptions in a single game.

  Yeah I remember him. Agree with the system comments, obviously.
• athlete37

  

  I'm not sure if it was on this site or jjhuddle, but someone wanted to argue with me up and down that he was better than Golden
• karen lotz

  

  Nah it was definitely here.
• athlete37

  

  just searched for freddie barnes on this site and the only thing that popped up was this thread. searched for golden too and the earliest i found was the maple bars.

  I think the really old threads were lost in a software change. I know I posted about Barnes/Tate last year and am sure that I never posted on JJ.

  okay gotchya

  On a non related note, were you driving to Columbus on 23 yesterday, athlete? I only ask because I was and was following a car with Notre Dame stickers on the back window and there was also an OSU Law sticker.
• jordo212000

  

  Yeah I remember that argument haha

  Nope that wasn't me lol. There are ten ND kids in my section of 75 students so it could've been one of them haha

  I think this might be the thread

  Yeah that was one of the threads, but there were a few for the Biletnikoff Award too when things got pretty heated. Good read, and I think I was correct.
• karen lotz

  

  haha that is for sure part of it but I seem to think there was more talk about it. Either way, I can see why no one could find that thread initially, we were trying to search for his correct name and that thread has it spelled wrong.
• karen lotz

  

  Too bad you can't easily quote from that thread. Red_Skin and hoops had some gems.
• athlete37

  

  not the one i'm talking about but that definitely suffices lol. I'm a bit of a homer in the argument, being Golden's friend, but Barnes wasn't as good as some said apparently lol

  who cares? a bunch of nd fans bashing a bowling green kid..nice to see where you have fallen. Its not like Mr. Tate had that impressive of a rookie season himself.
