Jerious is a different breed of player that is hard to find anymore.

Find myself pulling for this guy even today in the NFL.

Just imagine if we had Norwood right now in Mullen's Offense.

Yet Norwood was forced to play for a tyrannical regime that did not deserve him.

I agree with everything. Norwood is special. He does a lot philanthropically here in the Jackson area.

Not exactly sports related and not sure if this is 100% correct but I was always led to believe Charlie Conerly was one of the first "Marlboro men". Thought that was interesting.

and getting all emotional, it starts to get to me too. Just when you think he is about to say she is in Heaven, he says she's in Chicago. I makes me grin every time.

at the 3:10 mark, is that kevin from the office?

 

[paindonthurt_]

Awesome guy.

Wish we had him with the way this line is playing and this offense.

 

[Pointcitydawg]

He's tearing up talking about how she helped him make his decision to come to State, and just when you think he's about to hit you with she's in Heaven, BAM! she's in Chicago and couldn't make it. Priceless.

3:10 mark - Principal Richard Belding is on the far right in that group.
