Name your favorite random Wildcat

[Medill '03]

Who was the receiver who wore #1 that came out of nowhere to have a huge season as a junior, also Baz’s junior season.

Had 100+ (200+?) yards in the season opener when Huffman missed all those kicks against TCU.

I liked that guy.

(Yes, I could’ve looked it up in the time it took to write this, but that’s the fun of this thread.)

Jonathan Fields?

Jonathan Fields?

Huzzzzah!

 

[ParisCat]

Steve Ostrowski.

 

[Fitz51]

Jonathan Fields?

I used to run wild with him in the NCAA XBox game. Those were the days.

 

[CoralSpringsCat]

Steve Ostrowski.

Terrific blast from the past. Tough kid with a great attitude. Very underrated performer on some poor teams.

Jeff Budzien, baby. Think he hit something like 41 out of 44 FG's in one stretch. Underappreciated 'til it's not there anymore.

In my opinion, “favorite” and “best” are very different things.

My favorite random kicker is, obviously, Stefan Demos.

Fitz is my favorite player. Actually, the whole damn 1995 Rose Bowl team is.

 

[Hungry Jack]

Mike Baum is another one. We took French classes together. Nice guy. Real smart. Actually went to camp with the Seahawks.

One game, when our defensive line was getting blown up repeatedly by MSU or Iowa or something, Coach Peay yelled over at Baum "Baum! Go play defensive tackle!" Mike was an offensive tackle.

I asked Mike about it the following week. He said he had no idea what to do, and it was like being inside a tornado with bodies flying all around you. We had a good laugh.

 

[Rodenthater]

Steve Schnur!

Ross Lane and Len Williams.

Was it Zelenograd Markshausen? Anybody have the satire clip about him and Hitler questioning who he was?

Jonathan Fields was the guy. Also had a good game in 2004 at Penn State.

But my nominee, which dates me: Andy Cvercko. I think No Chores will second the motion.

Jonathan Fields?

#1 in your hearts, and #1 on the depth chart.

 

[stpaulcat]

This guy. A wild cat who can shred the opponent.

 

[NUera]

Vince Cartaya. Great dude.

 

[DkeCat]

Vince Cartaya. Great dude.

one of the single best dudes I have ever met - football or not.

Seriously. VC didn’t have the most spectacular career - partly because Walker kept moving him around, and partly because the dude would spend summers volunteering in the mountains of Latin America - but he bled purple. Was great to see him flash at linebacker in his last few games. Definitely my all-time favorite.

 

[NCPurplecat]

Persa.. was a warrior. Too bad about the achilles injury but he willed NU to some nice wins

 

[jcrane52]

Larry Onesti

 

[eddie_gocats]

Kunle Patrick

 

[phatcat]

Chris Hinton. The entire left side of the line would get pushed out of the way

 

[CoralSpringsCat]

Vince Cartaya. Great dude.

LOL...Baum and Genyk were GA’s on Barnett’s first staff at NU.

 

[MickeyCat]

Rob Johnson, Matt Stewart, Sean Wieber, Quentin Williams

 

[DaCat]

Before my time, Pug Rentner. Moon Baker.

I'm a sucker for cool names.

 

[gocatsgo2003]

Just gonna ask... who was the most underrated player on the roster in your career @MRCat95 ?

 

[timbfischer]

William Bennett, Eric Collier, Rodney Ray, Chris Martin

 

[catcrazy]

Casey Dailey, Dean Lowry and Hugh Williams. The latter I had many psychology classes with. Nice, cool dude.
