You know who I never fully appreciated?

[wabash909]

This stud.  For not being a total pussy and never turning the ball over.  Too bad he didn't have a functional throwing arm.

[HerrSonntag]

Switched to RB in Arena league, fwiw... a possible alternative for QBs with percieved throwing issues to riding the pine.

Sams doesn't really run like a running back, though. Gregory had real throwing issues. Sams has looked very good whenever he's been given a chance to throw the ball.

[Winters]

That's a real bicep

[wabash909]

The thing I liked about GG was that he was a real "gamer". 

I never watched him play and thought, "man, what a total pussy".

[Rage Against the McKee]

Grant Gregory didn't kill very many drives on 3rd and 1, that's for sure.

[catzacker]

Ya know who I never full appreciated until after the DOD came to an embarrassing end?  Dyshod Carter.

['taterblast]

a healthy GG may have been pretty damn good. but there wasn't much talent on the team in '09 so who knows.

yep. I used to be all "OMG DYSHOD YOU SUCK!" sometimes. he would be the best player on this defense by a lot. a lot.

yeah, I never got the feeling that he was an unconfident loser. when it was 3rd and 1 he never kind of curled into a ball and closed his eyes while falling sideways towards what he hoped was a gap in the line. The rest of the team didn't hate the crap out of him either.

One of the BWMOAT.

[GoodForAnother]

such a great play.  thing was in the receiver's hands for a first down and dyshod was like, "no, denied" and just knocked it away.  then middle school gfa ran onto the field and made snow angels w/ his friends! 

[michigancat]

I remember talking crap on GG and his brother registered on ksufans to set me straight. I think I implied playing when his shoulder wasn't working was selfish.

Wish we had those archives, I'm sure it was very funny.

[Dugout DickStone]

'member when GG delivered a Farmageddon win over the best ISU team in a century?

[wabash909]

Wow, I sure do Limestone. 

One of the best parts was GG not fumbling or being a complete pussy and throwing a 50+ yard bomb on a game winning drive.

[kso_FAN]

Farmaggedon I was so fun!

[GoodForAnother]

guys I just had a crazy thought -- do you think grant gregory was better than jake waters? 

[pvegs]

The eff is with that tattoo?

The eff is with that tattoo?

his brother also told the story behind it on fans. but I forgot what it was.

During K-State's weekly news conference on Tuesday, Gregory's football knowledge was put to the test.

Give us a random fact about a college football stadium, one reporter asked.

Gregory grew up hoping to be an architect, has always been fascinated by college football stadiums and still collects their miniature versions today. He didn't hesitate.

"The Carrier Dome in Syracuse, New York, is named after the Carrier air conditioning company, but they don't have air conditioning in the building," Gregory said. "It's in New York. It's cool up there. They don't need air conditioning."

What about Missouri, the team K-State will play in its final home game of the season on Saturday?

"Faurot Field-Memorial Stadium," Gregory replied. "They had 71,000 for the Texas game this year. Listed capacity is right about at 68,000. It's named after (longtime coach) Don Faurot. They call the student section The Zou."

Gregory could have gone on for much longer. He says he knows everything there is to know about "30 or 40" of the top Division I football stadiums in the country. His four favorite stadiums are Oregon's Autzen Stadium, The Horseshoe at Ohio State, Oklahoma's Memorial Stadium and the Rose Bowl.

Collecting information on them is one of his hobbies. Weibert says it's something that defines who he is.

"When he gets going like that, it's really amazing," Weibert said. "I really like it. He's just a fun guy to hang out with."

Waters has more upside. No way in hell Gregory lets the team lose to NDSU, though.
