Terrific blast from the past. Tough kid with a great attitude. Very underrated performer on some poor teams.

Jeff Budzien, baby. Think he hit something like 41 out of 44 FG's in one stretch. Underappreciated 'til it's not there anymore.
Mike Baum is another one. We took French classes together. Nice guy. Real smart. Actually went to camp with the Seahawks.
One game, when our defensive line was getting blown up repeatedly by MSU or Iowa or something, Coach Peay yelled over at Baum "Baum! Go play defensive tackle!" Mike was an offensive tackle.
I asked Mike about it the following week. He said he had no idea what to do, and it was like being inside a tornado with bodies flying all around you. We had a good laugh.

Was it Zelenograd Markshausen? Anybody have the satire clip about him and Hitler questioning who he was?
Jonathan Fields was the guy. Also had a good game in 2004 at Penn State.
But my nominee, which dates me: Andy Cvercko. I think No Chores will second the motion.
Seriously. VC didn’t have the most spectacular career - partly because Walker kept moving him around, and partly because the dude would spend summers volunteering in the mountains of Latin America - but he bled purple. Was great to see him flash at linebacker in his last few games. Definitely my all-time favorite.
