We've had more devastating hard hits in our history, but Stonie Clark's big hit at the goaline stand vs OU may be my favorite one.

Lol, I feel like I have story for just about any situation. :smile1: I bought my first new vehicle from Mike at Covert on Research. It was an F-150 which I didn't think through very well and traded a couple years later....it was a red color which looked like aggy maroon and I caught crap for almost daily. After finding out I was a huge Horn fan he pulled a signed pic out of his filing cabinet and gave it to me. I wish he would have tried to talked me into a better color choice.:hookem2:

And his rapid and dogged pursuit down the line was all the more impressive considering that he was close to 350 lbs at the time (just look at the guy--I don't care what weight the program listed him at). An enormous man with an enormous heart for the game and a burning desire to win.

Whenever we have a mean tough SOB (on the field that is) at Center, the entire offense runs a lot better.

Commentators frequently elevate Left Tackle to the most important OL position, and they often have the highest starting pay among OL in the NFL. But give me a hard nosed bada$$ at Center to build a line around. Baab certainly fit the bill.

Centers also have to be smart as they make/start the OL calls.

Another stud center anchoring another good O-line at OLU. The tradition is there for Hand and Co. to build on.

As a senior, Gaskamp and crew (Octavious Bishop, Ben Adams, Roger Roesler, Jay Humphrey ...) blocked for Heisman winner Ricky Williams. A good OL and a good RB multiply and compound each other's effectiveness.

If we're on 52, here's a current #52 who's a potential All-American:

Sam Cosmi, OT #52.
Best OL technique in recent memory IMHO (him and Conner Williams).

USC #78: "How do I get around this guy, coach?"
Cosmi: "You will NEVER reach our QB, Troy Boy!"
