re: Throwback: Eddie Kennison 100+ yard punt return video

I was there in the student section...

At first, we were all screaming, “No, no, no!” Then, it quickly turned to pandemonium.

The next week, Richard Condon reviewing that play in his typical voice said something that my friends and I quote to this day when we are trying something out for the first time:

Condon: “Kennison, got that ball, got knocked back into the end zone and thought, what the heck? I’m on scholarship, and ran it back a hundred.”

I was in FCA with Kennison, and one day I asked him why he had a knife pendant on his necklace. He said, “Because when I’m on the field, I’m gonna cut you up.”

Loved that guy. One of my favorite all-time Tigers.
