Don't get me wrong, Taurus, Cedric and AJ are great, but I miss Amari Jackson.  Not the Amari from '07, the way he played in '06.  The one who caught passes and remembered he was a QB in HS and could through beautifully on trick plays.

I don't remember an Amarri that caught passes.  I remember one who could drop a screen pass like it was on fire.  Great game against Louisville and then...not so much.

Ding!

His legacy dragged on for two long years because of one really good game...

Oh cripes, now we're going to bash former players.

Amazing. 

EEBull, you just tossed a chunk of red meat to the hyenas.

Let's see who can practice restraint and who can not.

Amarri was one of USF's "Impact Players" in NCAA 06.

interestingly, Mike Ford is one of our "Impact Players" in NCAA 09.

kinda odd to have an "impact player" that doesn't even step foot on the field  until the 2nd to last drive of the 4th quarter.

Amarii made several big catches in his career, but he was a victim of his own success.  Once he had the Louisville game - undeniably a ONCE IN A LIFETIME game - he was expected to repeat the feat.  Unfortunately in our offense, the chance are slim.  We tend to throw to 8 receivers and not one or two.  Amarri was a great team mate in that he was supportive of the team regardless of score.  He did what he could on the sidelines keeping guys ready and he was great to the fans.  But he's dropped passes, and never had another once in a lifetime game and therefore, the hyenas dump him into the bash bin.

EEBull, I'll run some interference for you....

Pat Julmiste had a strong enough arm to reach the end zone on the Hail Mary.

Now they'll rip Julmiste to shreds and Amarri will be yesterday's lunch

Ford carried the ball in the first quarter.

I never really saw much from Pat.  I guess during my first season ('05) I only heard the negative about him and we relied on Andre Hall a lot that year.  I think that may have been why we lost the MCC Bowl.  It looked to me as though we were relying on Hall to do everything and NC State had his number that year.
