Everyone should just go ahead and get in their shots about steroids, and medical hardship, and oversigning, and everything else that the Alabama boogerman has them upset about.

Just for kicks can you give me the name of three other guys who can legitimately claim this?
(I am not sure if my sarcasm meter is working correctly today so I cannot tell if you are joking)

Not trying to be a di(|< but I don't think Hershell or Bo ever did this. All I am saying is that 600lbs is a pretty big bench mark. I also don't think it translates into a great player but it does not hurt to have the strenght advantage.
I think Hershell was more of a proponent for core strenght and endurance and not "flashy" strenght like a bench number usually is interpreted.
