Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
Yall couldn't quite kill Covey, but you did kill his parents.

But over the years, he’s taken a beating. The worst experience for his family was in September 2018, against Washington at Rice-Eccles Stadium. He was pounded relentlessly by the Huskies. After each shot, he lay on the turf while his family agonized in the stands.
“That was the most difficult sporting moment of our lives,” Britain’s dad said. “He was getting lit up. It was miserable. It was so intense that it took all the joy out of the game and instilled fear and worry. My wife and I looked at each other and said, ‘Maybe he shouldn’t play anymore.’”

I don't think I've ever seen a kid take a single game pounding like Covey did.

This one cost us? the most.
On the opening kickoff of the second half in the Pac-12 championship game against that same Washington team in 2018, Covey suffered a torn ACL and meniscus in his right knee.
“I was beyond a fanatic of BYU sports, all the way until I graduated from high school. I have a great affinity for that school and that stadium,” he said. “Just so many great memories there. That’s part of the reason why I did want to play. I knew that my knee wasn’t at even 60%. But I thought it might be the last opportunity I ever get. I’ve wanted to play in that stadium since I was a little kid.”
After that punt return against BYU, Covey saw limited action in a few more games but decided to shut it down and take a redshirt year because he hadn’t recovered in the way he had hoped.
Britain continued to work hard, looking forward to the 2020 season — then the COVID-19 pandemic hit. He was hampered by various minor injuries and played in only a few games in the truncated five-game season, highlighted by an electrifying 64-yard punt return against Oregon State for a touchdown.
It was a mentally exhausting grind the last couple of years. I am stronger than I’ve ever been and I’m faster. I believe that I’m less susceptible to injuries because of what I’ve tried to do on my own.

Again, the evidence continues to mount that Britain is immortal.
No human could've survived that night. And how many years has he been playing for Utah? 11?
I rest my case. -

In an interview during our Red and White game yesterday Covey said he could still red-shirt again, giving him 3 more years. Doogs just may see him again in 2023 when our series starts up again.EwaDawg said:

I think Race handed over his login information to his great grandkids years ago. IIRCFireCohen said:

He's not interesting. Utah isn't interesting.
The whole thing is like a Utah brewery trying to sell me on a 2% "Planet Kolob" seasonal pale ale.
No fucking thanks. -

There is this ASU beer club where these guys go to Phoenix area breweries and drink one of everything on the menu and tweet about it.Pitchfork51 said:

I wish UW would do something like that since we have a million microbreweries but, you know, we suck as a fanbase. Have you gotten vaccinated yet? We probably have an equivalent club for that. Or an E sport club or a harry potter fan fic club.
