The CRAZIEST COLLEGE FOOTBALL MOMENT in Sports Illustrated HISTORY

Want to know why TCU was so good during the 1999 college football season? It was partly because of the play of their special teams, courtesy of Royce Huffman. However, what you might not know is that Huffman wasn't going to come back and play his senior season. That is, until one article from Sports Illustrated about a game from the 1950s was posted, and changed everything forever

Sports Illustrated was over when they discontinued the football phone.

[@WVUer21]

Garth still has his from 1992 somewhere.

[@RetroJR3379]

I still have that issue I just started subscribing to Sports Illustrated. I remember the TCU article but didnt think nothing of it but as my yearbook teacher said Every Pictures tells a story

[@chrisp679]

Don’t forget though that LaDainian Tomlinson was also on those teams. And he arguably was a bigger difference maker.

[@marcus813]

I'm surprised that Huffman didn't get the call up to the show given how well he hit in AAA.

[@KWCline91]

Dang it SI! Why did you have to do that? I’m sure it wasn’t intended for Royce to return to TCU because of that article and it’s hard to dissect how his baseball career would’ve gone, but man, if the guy had kept playing baseball, he could’ve been on the Astros during the Bagwell and Biggio days. Insane! But hey, at least Royce’s gamble paid off in football.

I blame Rebecca Romijn

[@82dorrin]

That was a memorable article.

[@ASMRPeople]

You ever think about doing a story about something real old? Something like the story of army's Mr inside & Mr outside or the orgin of the little brown jug?

[@RetroJR3379]

Sports Illustrated is still good even though it not what it was before now thanks to site like The Athletics and others plus I loved the preview and prediction. Sports Illustrated is the sole Survivors all the other like Inside Sports, The National and of course The Sporting News are kaput

[@UserName-ts3sp]

im more often than not disappointed in the athletic. only reason im subscribed is because aaron portzline is really good at covering the blue jackets

This unofficial Jaguar Gator 8 historian will remind everyone you made a video about how Colorado Quarterback Darian Hagan doubled as his team’s punt returner one season. This unofficial Official Jaguar Gator 8/9 historian will also remind everyone you made a video about how another Huff man, Linebacker Sam Huff, was inspired to return to football after a one year retirement thanks to a picture. The picture was a moving picture (AKA movie) starring Vince Lombardi. OK, that last one was a bit of a stretch. But it’s the price one pays to explain correlations.

Don't forget Rick Reilly. The most OVERRATED sports writer in history inspired the 2012 Notre Dame Fighting Irish to keep winning despite the entire country calling them overrated. You know, just beating 5 top 25 teams including #5 Oklahoma on the road. I know Alabama beat their brains in the championship game, but Reilly really stirred up some anger in those boys to get them there. Suffice to say... Sports Illustrated started trying to hard to compete during these times

Is this real? 🙂

The greatest article written in the history of the world. I’d you’ve ever played or been in that locker room before a game “moment of truth” captures it perfectly. I first read it in college while I was playing. I have it saved on my phone and read it December 8, 2018 on the bus ride to AT&T stadium to play my last game at age 42. Some Frogs were deeply worried about Brown. Others had been fooled by game film, because he looked slower on celluloid. Two in this room will end up in early coffins when their hearts quit: Dick Finney, on your far right, and John Mitchell, second from your left, the lad inspecting the fingernails he’s just chewed. Two other players will lose sons in car accidents, which is worse than a heart attack. Another, Jack Webb, seated in the deep corner just to the left of the youngster holding his chin in his hand, will relish the tension of moments like this so much that he’ll become a fighter pilot, only to lose his life when his jet crashes in the Philippines. Two will get rich, then go bankrupt. Allen Garrard, number 84, the guy seated on the floor near the corner, will get multiple sclerosis and draw on moments like this 40 years from now, when his car blows a tire in a rainstorm in the dead of night and he has to hobble painfully on his cane far beyond the 200 feet he’s usually able to walk. Of course, Abe himself, when he’s in his 70s, will be found draped across his bed by his wife one morning when his ticker quits. See that fellow on the floor behind Abe, number 53, Joe Williams? Can you tell? A year ago he lost his mom, who attended every game he ever played, in a car accident, and he’s worried sick about his dad, sleepwalking awake ever since she died, who’s somewhere in the stands high above this room. Here’s what Joe will say 42 years from now, when his hair’s as white as snow and arthritis has racked his joints with pain and stolen his right hand: “I should’ve expressed my gratitude to Abe. I’m still living by the principles he taught us. I’m not gonna give in. I’m still coming out of bed swinging even though I might not hit a thing. He guided us through those years. He looked out for us the way our parents presumed he would. “You know something? Nothing ever again will match the intensity, the passion of moments like this. What it takes to overcome yourself-because if you listen to your body, you’ll always be a coward. Don’t get me wrong, I love my wife and kids, but I’d give anything to go back. More than who you’re looking at now, that guy in the picture, that’s me. That’s who I really am.”

Where did you play for

[@mat-sd7eh]

this was an great piece of writing, i salute you for expressing it that way. i would of thought this was an sports book article if i didn't knew it was an athlete describing all of this.
