Stevie Hicks Found Dead...

[KerinKO]

Did they mention anything about Stevie on the radio broadcast of the basketball game?

Yes, it was the very first thing John and Eric talked about when the pre-game came on the air at Noon.

Ill never forget my first bowl game in shreveport... he ran for like 160 and and a 50 yd run. he would always lower his shoulders and take the hit, stand the defender up and fall forward

They also had a moment of silence at the game before the national anthem.

Stevie never backed down from a hit, and after the hit his legs didn't quit pumping until the whistle blew. I listened to much of his career on the radio online because I was in Seattle. I lost count of how many times John Walters' call sounded something like this- "Handoff to Hicks and he is quickly swarmed under by... AND STEVIE DRAGS THE PILE FOR SEVEN EXTRA YARDS!!!

That was against Miami of Ohio. Stevie always looked really, really good against inferior competition. Much like McCarney's coaching style was best situated for rumbling against clearly inferior competition. The problem was when we were against equal or often better competition.
He did look awesome when we beat KSU at Manhatten. That KSU team had mailed it in, and Stevie abused them. some serious hits for highlights.

This is a really stupid post.

I thought Stevie always ran hard, and he looked good when he was healthy. Hell, he had some great games when he was banged up, which was why he was one of my favorite players on the '04 and '05 teams. It speaks volumes when a guy plays hurt, and Stevie always wanted to be in there. Your post was stupid, and really underhanded in light of the loss of a Cyclone. As so many in this thread have stated, Stevie was a great Cyclone and by all accounts a good man.

Somehow, we're now into McCarney's coaching style/aptitude. Let's keep this thing on track.

The parts about Stevie running hard on contact, that was fun to watch.

So McCarney's coaching style meant we beat teams with less talent and lost to teams with more talent? And that's different from other coaching styles?
