Dudes We Dig
Lawrence 'Poetry In' Moten
Charles O'Bannon Was The Coolest!
Mark Clayton Was The Coolest!
Always a favorite of mine growing up, Clayton hauled in 18 Touchdowns from Dan Marino in 1984. That’s still good for third All-Time. Here’s my Original Nowhere Near Mint 1987 Topps Mark Clayton (# 237) from my childhood card collecting days.

Remember Kerry Kittles Two Different Socks?
Kerry Kittles is the Villanova Wildcats all time leader in both points and steals. He also amassed over 700 rebounds and 400 assists during his four year college career. Always one of the coolest Cats on the hardwood, # 30 was another one of my favorite high-sock wearing players during my Freshman year b-ball days of 1995-96 . I remember that we even had a set out of bounds play called ‘Nova.’ The Big East was the best in the mid 90’s. Happy Birthday Kerry.
Emmitt Smith
UF era Emmitt Smith was the coolest!! With almost 1600 yds rushing and 14 TD’s, The Pensacola Prophet was An Unanimous First Team All American in 1989. He would forgo his Senior season to enter the NFL Draft. 1990 was the first year underclassmen were allowed to be drafted without some kind of exemption. Emmitt was selected with the 17th pick by the Dallas Cowboys. Happy Birthday Emmitt!
