Kind of like his catch against Northwestern in 2003
December 9th, 2012 at 4:21 PM ^
son of a gun, he did it again

AVANT, YE MATEYS!!!

I imagine you searching every board post for an Avant reference so you can respond with that exact line.
December 9th, 2012 at 4:27 PM ^
And just after you posted this, he had another really nice 22-yarder on 4th down with just a few seconds left.
EDIT: And the Eagles win!

The only thing that is missing from this catch and the 2003 catch is the Matrix slow motion effect, I would say. A very talented wide receiver indeed.

Great player, and a really, really nice guy.

Eric Wright is a bum who isn't worth half of what he's being paid, and the other guys manning the position now are either too young or simply just not talented enough to compete in the NFL. They allowed a backup rookie QB to throw for nearly 400 yds.

Why the Bucs paid so much for a guy who covers so little is a mystery.

the weird thing was Iowa winning most of the game and yet their fans said to me that they knew Iowa was going to lose the game. Cue Marquise Walker...
Thanks for the memory.

Wait a second. So you're showing me a Michigan WR from Chicagoland who is having a successful NFL career? If I were a WR recruit I would take notice. Thanks for the info.

We had great seats, about 30 rows up near the 50, which wasn't particularly close to this catch. Even from where I was, it was immediately obvious what an awesome grab Avant had on that pass.
The other memorable thing for me was actually being right next to all the players as they exited the field for half time. Mentally, you know that some of the cornerbacks and receivers aren't all that big, but being at arms length as they passed by really brought that home. Great memory.

Oh, wait...
In all seriousness, how BAD are the Jags as a team? Wow.

Stevie Brown with another pick for the Giants!

Carbon copy and equally awesome.

He is truly a gif.ted athlete.
As for me, I pulled a muscle in my ribcage just watching that.

Great catch. Jason Avant wasn't about to let Tacopants catch that one.

KC got Shurmurball'd. Two punt return TDs!?
