The name can’t be a coincidence

Damn, that's sad news. Went out a Steelheader assuming that's what he was fishing for, t's and p's

Damn. Too bad. At least he was doing something cool, I guess.

It's not hard to screw up on those little one man pontoons. They get caught in hydraulics and get upside down really easily.

What do you mean by this?

I remember the 91-yard punt return for a TD he had against Cal. Then he ran to the back of the end zone and began rattling the chain link fence with the fans right there going ape shit. Great moment..

I was in that dumpy endzone bleacher. He was 10 feet in front of me. Probably one of my coolest game memories.

They should retire his blue collar lunch pail at Husky Stadium and not allow any white players to wear #21

Did the kick the extra point too or did I make that up in my head?

I just read that he did after taking a few seconds to catch his breath.

Watch a video of a small waterfall. The hydraulic (hole) is at the base, where the water gurgling up from the bottom feeds back into the base of the falls. Real powerful ones can keep big boats, logs etc recirculating for a long time and a swimmer may spend more time underwater getting gurgled than on the surface where they can breathe. Those small boats can get caught and flipped in fairly innocent looking ones like this gif. The kayak punches right through it with speed. It's hard to punch them like this on little pontoon boats. The hole catches the stern end and tends to flip the boat backward.
