Favorite "Non-Contributor" of All Time

[djw004]

How about Scott Frost as head coach?

 

[Eaton Beaver]

Steve Octavian ended up contributing his senior season so not sure if he qualifies, but that fucker was big, fast, and mean and his first few years everyone was just waiting for him to play but never got in much.

I wish Eric Martin would of found one more gear. Loved watching him on kick off coverage and hoping he would rip someone's head off

 

[betsch]

Here's a few, some contributed more than others:

Robin Miller - there were comparisons to him being the next Mike Rozier
Leon Jackson - thought he was gonna be a stud
Octavious McFarlin - loved the name, he was a LB and was part of our old three-man punt return formation
Javario Burkes - RIP
Mike Mcloughlin (sp?) - QB that came in with Stuntz
Frantz Hardy - showed flashes
Erwin Swinney - never the same after his hip surgery or torn groin, whatever issue he had
Lornell McPherson - a solid nickel
Kareem Moss - great contributor in '94
Jay Simms - physical specimen

Leon Jackson is another good one.
Erwin Swinney, man I "hated" that guy. He was terrible compared to our other players at the time and always got beat. I feel bad now for how much I used to yell at him.

Then what's taken her so long? Defeating Scott obviously ain't that hard. Everyone does it these days.

Mel Tucker alone has turned defeating Scott into 10's of millions of $$$ in guaranteed contract.

Here's one for you - the Cardinal Mooney connection with Bo...

Braylon Heard

I was more optimistic about Aaron Green

 

[jaihawk]

How has no one mentioned Jim yet? His wife says that he didn't even contribute to their children. From what I've heard, the only thing he's contributed is a case of crabs to some homeless guy in the alley behind the Beacon Lounge.

Did you watch the hoop it up with him and Woolridge?

I remember thinking Andre was going to be the next Jordan. Again, I was just a kid, but Eric and Andre were quite the pair in high school.

Injuries if I recall. Couldn't help but get hurt. According to something I looked up, after his injuries he quit, wanted to come back, but Solich said no thanks and the Unity Council agreed.

Wasn’t he part of that string of athletic publagia or whatever in the late 90s? We had a big issue with that for a while - I thought it had something to do with Boyd’s weight training program at the time.

Bingham was first team all big 12, got drafted and played five or six years in the league

Whoooopsy yeah I don’t know what I did there. Was thinking of someone else and now I can’t trust anything I “remember”…

Mason Wald based on his HS film.

I remember watching that film and thinking at a minimum he would be a fun guy to watch on special teams.

Swinney was terrible but our DC Bohl didn't recognize it. Opposing teams did.

NU lost the 2000 KSU game due to the two of them. Bohl had Swinney in man coverage all game chasing around Quincy Morgan. Morgan abused him and we lost. One of the worst road games I ever attended.

Was that the one with the no-call facemask where Crouch was nearly decapitated?

No, that was 1998. This was the 2000 game which was a snowy night game.
