    Uh, Santana Moss came into that game with a high ankle sprain and wasn't expected to play at all, which was publicly known. He was ballz for Miami in his career and had a 13-year career in the NFL, most of those as a starter and a guy who beat a lot of NFL teams deep over that time. That kind of player gets a lot of pub around these parts if he comes from the right school.

    Moss was a tough motherfucker and at 5'9" (stand corrected) and a buck something took way more than one big hit and always kept rolling. The ankle was the problem that day and the reason he caught one pass and was pulled.

    Show me a straight on hit on a 220lb H back running clear with a full head of steam the force of which dislodges the ball and the kid's soul. That's a hit worth bragging about 23 years later bub. Do better or go make me a sammich.
    You just made my case for me as it relates to his prestige and that game. TYFYS

    Back in the day I read every character possible as it relates to #MyDwags and don’t recall this high ankle sprain story. At all.

    All that said, this is not a hill I care enough to die on. With the lone exception that the hit in question turned the tide of the gayme and the rest is history.

    Because you don't want to. Week before against McNeese State. It nagged him all season that year. I love you man, but ...

    In the Hurricanes’ only loss of 2000, a 34-29 defeat to Washington on Sept. 9, Moss, limited by a sprained right ankle, handled the ball only five times. One reception for seven yards, three punt returns for 40 yards . . . and one fumbled punt, recovered by Washington and converted into a Husky touchdown.

    Moss was a track guy whose game was predicated on acceleration and hard cuts. He wasn't knocked out of the game or psychologically impaired because of one hit. At his size he took many, and had he been that soft he wouldn't have played 13 years in the NFL. I'm sorry. I was there too and those aren't the facts.

    Just so we're clear, you are peacocking a return hit on this guy:



    I could've knocked him off his feet myself back then given a clean shot.

    So was I. If a bit hit on a gimpy 5'8" wide receiver on kick off is HOF, you need a new HOF. Also, it's "from which," you illiterate whore. We speak ENGLISH in this country.

    I'll help you out mochambo: THIS is a hit.

    Besides, didn't @whlinder 's video of a Husky to a Hurricane connection warm your heart just a little? It's Christmas for Christ's sake.

    As I recall, he was sleeping in a park and not bothering anybody. I'm just wondering out loud here ... if that is the setting and you confront the kid and he gets agitated and he's clearly not right and you're struggling to get him under control, isn't there a better way to handle it than the choke holds or having three dudes or whatever hold him down with brute force? Like maybe a taser or something? If he hasn't hurt or threatened anybody and isn't waiving a gun around or something like that, might it be a better policy to let him go? Then the cops can gather themselves and meet him down the road when they're better prepared to deal with him. Maybe they find him again when he hasn't tried to self-medicate and the situation is more manageable.

    He could be alive today and functioning just fine if properly medicated. I know a few people with mood disorders, and two of them are pretty severe. It's no picnic, but they are functioning and living their lives.
    I read an article on him a few days back when his name got brought up. If I remember correctly, he was having a violent psychotic episode and his roommates in Sacramento called the cops on him.

    Los Angeles Tims was not on my radar at the tim.

    Your efforts to put him down when he was a Heisman candidate is quite sad actually. The Huskie special teams defense deserved credit that day.

    Thanks, Creeep, I guess. I was hoping the vaunted Candy (ass) Canes (and their fans) didn't need excuses for horrific performances back when they were good but I guess that is just not the case. The one thing that I can clearly say that I know is that I know Britain Covey and (ncaa player) Santana Moss is no Britain Covey (who never, ever, ever needed an excuse).

    My thoughts are that his pro career is absolutely unrelated to his ncaa career. Similar to every other ncaa player that we discuss. We are not discussing the next level.

    Sometimes, you talk just to read what you post.

    You can do A LOT better.

    And for all the bad pub he's received over the years, he was actually a pretty good kid considering what he was dealing with. I think if Rick couldn't make it work nobody could. James probably would have run him fairly early in his Husky career.

    The way he died still leaves a mark. I don't mean this to be anti-cop, but dying in police custody with the mental issues he had, you have to wonder wtf happened. I've heard or read stories of asphyxiation. That is no way to go.
    I'm sure it was an awful, awful situation
