None, I am cowardVia a friend's dad who played, WWU wanted me to try out but I chose drinking Busch Lite. Where is WWU's football team now? Busch was clearly the correct institution to side with.

High SchoolFreshman football was my pinnacle. The last play I remember was trying to bull rush a future UW guard who outweighed me by 70 pounds. The concussion made me hazy, but our coach was nice enough to show the replay to the whole team in film review. Big belly laughs all around. I'd never seen anyone fly five yards backwards before, or since. I'm thankful to him for crushing any football delusions I may have had early in the process.

I started my senior season at 162 pounds--heaviest I would be until the beer and soul-crushing Husky fandom pushed me over the edge in my mid-thirties. I ended that season (and graduated) at 145, after 17 pounds of injury-related muscle atrophy. I was small but at least looked like a football player in August. Looked like a little dork wiener in December.

Highlight of senior season team film review was the time I was chasing a play from behind on the sideline and the 270 pound tight end turned around to seal me off. Stupidly figured my full head of steam would make up for his 100 pounds. The camera was panning, following the play. My collision with this dude happened in about the middle of the screen. I did not land in frame... Whole room sounded like that picture of Browning being flipped/spun looked. Whole bunch of "OH, SHIT!" and "DUUUUUUUDE!" Coach rewound and played it back a lot of times. By request.
I feel sorry for guys who grew up to be great athletes playing on awesome teams. How boring later in life! Being a shitty midget on a shitty team makes for way better stories decades later.

We were first loosers and I lead the league in TDs.
I was a real Steve Largent, Wayne Chrebet, Wes Welker type. -
