Heh, I got to play one football game in the old Hoosier dome as part of the "High School" football series they used to run. This was my senior year so the fall of 1986.

Left Offensive Tackle. Ball on probably our 40. QB takes the snap, passes it to the left sideline for an INT (we sucked, won 1 game that season).

I take off running to the sideline to try and get the guy without my head on a swivel and "bam" get completely decleated from the right side by someone from the opposing team. The video showed me landing heels over head on my helmet and shoulderpads from the hit.

I had bruises for a month down my right side from hitting the deck. Shoulder, arm, ribs, hip, leg. Yeah, that surface was hard.

Walk Worthy,
