Loved Champ

Hate that his career was ended by knee surgery that would have been a minor arthroscopic procedure just a few years later

Interesting that you posted this right after Hop was posted; he would be excluded by your criteria

Please never that.

Chris Spielman

36 is a pretty damn strong number ...

 

[Gothmog8]

I have been watching vids of the champ run, and I watched the champ run live, and I am still in awe.

Also, Fuck Michigan.

 

[Jaxbuck]

If he had one more year to stay and block for MoC….goodness that would have been something to see.

36 is a pretty damn strong number ...

And those guys played consecutively

Bruce Elia handed the 36 to Cousineau who handed the 36 to Marek who handed it to Spielman

…who handed it to… Judah Hermann

Rolle was good, but he did not really live up to the brief legacy of that number. No one has

Here’s hoping Gabr Powers can rekindle the tradition
