The audio on that should be against the honor code. My ears are still hurting.

It's probably just the rustling of the copious amounts of ear hair.

Some of those catches were every bit as impressive as the throws.

What sticks out to me in the video: Receivers going all out. I miss that.

Sir Hammer

8/17/17 3:45pm

Yup...those receivers gave it up to make the grab

Borg

How did he win 5 WAC titles? Is that possible in football? Different sports?

CoolB

I love the story of him refusing to come off the field for the punt team.
