Is BJ Finney the best olinemen we've ever had?
« on: September 11, 2012, 08:17:34 AM »
Which would be saying something considering the number of guys we've had move on to significant NFL careers.  I don't recall another linemen who has played as well has he has so soon out of high school.
He is amazing on the 2nd level.  I didn't see him miss in the 5-6 times I noticed him downfield rewatching plays.

Sidebar:  Is Adam Davis a top 5 Snyder Era DE if he stays healthy this season?  I'm leaning to yes on that one. 

Sidebar #2:  Our top 2 hbs are both very good blockers.  Run and pass.

Cheesy Mustache QB might make an appearance.

New warning: Don't get in a fight with someone who doesn't even need to bother to buy ink.

I've seen KSU play football more then once with these players. 

What Snyder era defensive ends play(ed) the run as well/better then Davis?

Academics is a stupid word.

Academic schools are synonymous for being rich, powerful and exclusive, three things Kansas State is not.

So when people throw the word "academics" around, that's really what they are referencing.

one of the greatest defensive players we've ever had at any position imo.

I was sitting in the union cafeteria in 98 when he and cooper walked in together and cooper was all 'hey look everybody, it's darren howard, star defensive end!" really loud.  everybody in there was laughing and clapping and cheering.  darren was all 'damn, coop. shut up, man.'  :shy:  it was super adorable.

Coop would do that crap all the time.  I partied with him many times and you never knew what he was going to say or do.  Very adorable antics.

Ex-gf at KSU of mine was roommates with a KSU trainer at that time.  Used to give me insidery info on pool parties that Coop would do wild things, how Gramatica was a ladies man and how none of the females had any luck getting Simoneau to have anything to do with them.  I did this:  :dunno: and was like hey I'm a dude I don't care but secretly I was  :love: I'm so insidery.

He thought he was a ladies man, but he was really sloppy and tried to get on everything that moved.  Coop was as crazy as there was.

I was once commissioned to be a wrestling partner/dummy for BJ.
