[SIZE=3]Why isn't the name Jim Collins a house hold name in the Syracuse football community?  I tried to do some homework and it looks like he is 5th all-time in most career tackles w/624. #1 -Mike Singletary [Baylor] w/662 during '77-'80, #2 Pat Choate [SMU] w/ 649 during '75-'78, #3 Rick Razzano [VT] w/ 634 during '74-'77, #4 Willie Pless [Kansas] w/ 633 during '82-'85. Collins is also 3rd all-time in most tackles  in a season w/229. Trailing only behind #2 Mike Singletary w/232 & #1 Pat Choate w/ 253. I'd also like to mention the 42 tackles he had on Oct. 20th 1979 against Penn State...42 *%#&ng TACKLES!,in ONE game. (Just to let you all know my only source was through the all-time history database, so dont scold me if I may have missed a few others. I'm only trying to paint a picture of his accomplishments.) Anyway, my question/concern is why isnt he up on the pedestal with the Art Monks #44's Csonka's, Mackey's D. McPheson's? I was born the year he was drafted to the Rams so I don't have anything to go by. Just curious to why he isn't another legendary face of the program. Thanks[/SIZE]
