[Writeup and player after THE JUMP]

1. Under the Lights and Talking Hockey

(starts at 1:00)

The Notre Dame game. What was Denard's favorite sport to watch on campus? We play the Don Criqui call for Denard, who's never heard it before.

2. EMU, SDSU, Minnesota, Northwestern, the Defensive Turnaround

(starts at 25:07)

"They brought an identity." [Fuller]

The defensive turnaround, where the Worst Waldo play came from, how much did they hate Minnesota. The one non-stupid Brady Hoke vs Northwestern game.

3. MSU, Purdue, Kinnick at Night, and John O'Neill

(starts at 1:01:04)

"Denard there's somebody else as fast as you." [Bryan Fuller]

The Trash Tornado game and MSU's dirty brand of football. Purdue and the story of Fitz Toussaint. JT Floyd's renaissance vs Marvin McNutt. The meeting that changed the direction of the program. Vincent Smith's pass-blocking. The rule about wearing red. The defensive line game.

4. Nebraska, Ohio State, Sugar Bowl

(starts at 1:14:56)

"Oh, he thought he was Ed Reed too." [Fuller]

Mike Martin forces a pitch on a speed option. Denard's kid helps us relive the Ohio State game for the first time again. Yeah, VT should have won the Sugar Bowl, but if you give them that you have to give Michigan MSU and Iowa back. Kevin Koger's Kogerland. David Molk's butt is nicer than Rocko Khoury's.
