Text exchange the other day

I was having a text exchange with Joey and Woolley the other day.

I was saying Richard Newton reminds me of 2006 fullback James Sims who had one monster game against one of the Arizona schools but otherwise did little. I feel like Newton has one monster game in him before he departs. 15 carries, 202 yards and 3 tds. Something like that.

Woolley and I were saying imagine Shelton Sampson being coached by a DeBoer team, or if he could have been the main back on the 2000 Rose Bowl team.

Meanwhile, Joey was interjecting obscure wrestling references from 1960s Whatcom County. Kinda awkward frankly.

    If @JoeEDangerously owned a chain of bar restaurants I'm sure they'd be called "Joey Dangerously's"

    Sims' huge game was at Arizona for sure. I think it was in the 2005 game when Stanback hit Chambers on the halftime Hail Mary that went like 70+ yards. I don't remember him playing FB but you're probably right on that. He was definitely the primary TB that day. Didn't he spend most of his career on defense?

    Sims wasn't a fullback, he was a twitchy TB with size who I think got a cup of coffee with NY Giants.

    Another squandered athlete

    Au contraire @Doogles

    Looks like we're both right. From one of the articles under your link: https://www.seattlepi.com/sports/article/Huskies-Notebook-Sims-forcing-his-way-into-1152556.php

    James Sims isn't sure if he wants to be out front or behind the scenes, and that fits because he may be Washington's secret weapon this year playing a mutant position.

    Sims, an Academic All-American, cinema studies major and sketch comedy enthusiast, is not really a fullback, but he will play one for the Huskies on TV. Fullbacks are not 209 pounds. Fullbacks don't run 4.4 40-yard dashes. Fullbacks don't graduate high school with 4.0 GPAs and serve as student body presidents...But on a team with a 280-pound tailback -- bruising freshman Johnie Kirton -- perhaps Sims makes sense.

    Basically they switched him from safety because he was an athletic freak with zero instincts and for some mid-2000s UW fuckery decided backup fullback. I don't think he actually played much of any in that role and was a tailback by the time he received real carries.

    Maybe we’ll all do a pod on squandered talents and players who got too much time that they should have squandered

    I liked Sims a lot. He probably could have been at least a better college running back with actual coaching.

    Always read this as Joe ED anger obviously.

    Angry Joe’s more likely. Doug Baldwin stole my gimmick before I could copyright it I guess

    I always thought that was Sam Cunningham.

    It was one of the two. I'm right until I'm wrong though.

    I thought it was Nate Robinson. That’s what I remember.

    Just looked it up

    30 carries for 200 yards. Dawgs beat Arizona 38-14 and broke a 14 game Pac 10 losing streak

    "I honestly didn't think Arizona would be off their game tonight," said Willingham, back in the Pac-10 after being fired following three years at Notre Dame.

    “With their upset over UCLA, I thought they would be excited and ready for us, but we took advantage of every opportunity."

    JFC

    I remember feeling a bit saddened after that Arizona game. I felt sad for Sims. That he only got chances late in his senior season. One of those horrible what ifs? or as someone else said in this thread, another squandered athlete.

    Oh shit I think you're right about Sims and the 12th man. That 2002 Michigan game I weirdly feel is washed from Husky fan memories even though it was like the last big non-conference game where UW had a chance for a very long time.

    Nate got toasted in the Cal game that year to lose to them for the first time in like 20 years but he had the posture of a guy who was never going to get burnt again and he didn't.

    For Rick defenders...how do you go 7-6 in 2002?
    You're quite right. It was so painful that I only vaguely remember the details of it now.

    My dad went to that game. I had asked him to bring me back a program. When he did, he handed me a mangled game day program. I asked what happened. He said "It was in mint condition until 12 men on the field."

    I could definitely see Newton going off against someone like Arizona or Stanford next year.

    I also mentioned the running backs between Corey Dillon and Chris Polk is an interesting and mostly unspectacular stew.

    The 2000 offense was so good it made Rich Alexis look like a big time running back.

    Wayne Taulapapa = Willie Hurst.

    I’m still bitter about this one, mostly because of the effort I put in to attend.
