Sports anniversaries are a fun opportunity to dig through the past, in part to gain perspective on past heroes' feats and see what has stood the test of time.
In Barry Sanders' case, the legend of his 1988 college season continues to grow.
Before he was a Detroit Lions running back, Sanders was smashing NCAA records at Oklahoma State, many of which still stand today. It wasn't just that he won the Heisman Trophy, it was how he did it.
2,850 yards. 44 touchdowns. Four 300-yard rushing games.
Last week, ESPN published a story about the "untold" stories from Sanders' historica season, and the Associated Press has published a 30-year anniversary tale of its own.
