Real Passing of a Legendary USM Football Star (not Favre)

[ohiovalleycat]

Unfortunately, a real University of Southern Mississippi football star has passed away (unlike the recent fake news postings about Brett Favre's demise). In this instance, Ray Guy aka the Greater Punter in Football History passed away. He is an Pro Football Hall of Famer who is also the namesake of college's most coveted award for punters - the Ray Guy Award. Guy was the first pure punter drafted in the NFL Draft First Round. He won three (3) Super Bowls with the Oakland (1976, 1980) and Los Angeles Raiders (1983). In Super Bowl XVIII against the Washington Redskins, he was noted for helping keep the pressure on Washington's prolific offense by kicking multiple punts deep in Washington territory including making a Herculean catch on a high snap in the 2nd Quarter and coolly getting off the kick.
