Since Bob started the last contest during the morning I think, or afternoon, and I started this one in the early evening, maybe I'll start the next trillion dollar give away at 1am :laugh:

No love for JJ?

I liked Julius too, but I'm a bit split there. I was a fan of Ryan Grant while Julius had to serve his year away from school. Ryan's big year was also the amazing 2002 season. Grant had the unfortunate luck of being sandwiched between two pretty good running backs: Julius Jones to start, and then he lost carries to Walker later. He had a great attitude, ran hard, just had some bad luck I think. I loved hearing how he made the Packer's squad in 2007, it was nice to see him have some success at the Pro level. I did follow Julius too when he went to the Cowboys, as well as his later stops.

I love it when Ray Zellars gets mentioned on here, because any excuse to post this video is a good one. Keep in mind, people, this guy was a FULLBACK, not a TAILBACK.

The hint for his favorite player was that he ran the ball...that video was the FIRST thing that came to mind when I read the hint!

Thanks for posting it again!



Ulukinatme...thanks for hosting a fun diversion while we all wait for the season to begin!

Not a problem. It was short, but then again I feel like anything to eat up time this week is a good thing...this week feels like it's dragging, Saturday needs to get here quick!



If anyone was curious, here are some threads that referenced answers to my questions:

#1 Was the give away, everyone got it right away, I didn't expect any problems there.
#2 This one was obviously the most difficult as there was no way to really search it, but I wanted to have at least one hard one so the contest wouldn't be over in 2 minutes. I've referenced the Bus a number of times, and he was listed as my favorite player in my information until a few days ago. http://www.irishenvy.com/forums/notre-dame-football/69312-where-they-now.html#post712325

#5 http://www.irishenvy.com/forums/notre-dame-football/71716-favorite-nd-moment-2.html#post748863 This post was back in 2012, but I was able to find it through the search. I also mention the Bus in that post, but references to Zibby and the Rocket were also in there. Kudos to those that guessed those names!

Buffalo Wild Wings & Weck was the original name of the restaurant. I know this because I love chicken wings. Weck was a sandwich based in western New York state. I know this because of Wiki.

Edit: Son of a betch. I scanned the thread to see if the real reason for the 3rd W was in BW3 and didn't see it so I posted. Looks like it's already covered. Color me an idiot. Wait, I knew the answer without wiki... maybe I"m not an idiot!
