    Bubba Smith Dies

    I remember him sorta
    In my day we did not have self-esteem... we had self-respect, and no more of it then we earned.

      Dominant college player at Michigan St. and a terror with the Colts in the NFL.

      RIP

            Probably the best DE in college football history.

              I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
              "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
              You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
              It was all
              true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
              He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can
              mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

                          He was on his way to being a great pro as well until he tore up his knee in 1971. After the knee injury, he wasn't the same player. He actually hurt the knee by tripping on the yard marker, and after his injury they made changes to make the markers less intrusive. The Colts doctor called it the worst knee injury he had ever seen.
