Congrats to Rondale Moore

[fayncbolier]

I have a feeling we'll be typing that sentence a lot over the next two years, but it's still awesome to see him get a national award, in this case the Paul Hornung Award for the most versatile player.

It's a well-deserved honor.

 

[Purduemoe]

What a great honor for a great player.

 

[BoilerinLouisville]

He'll likely be on the short list heading into next year for the Heisman.

And 1st team AA. Not a bad day for a 19 yo

Which team? I saw second team on PFF which I thought was pretty cool.

Rondale is racking up the hardware this year. Just the beginning for him.

Special teams returner. It is on the gbi Twitter feed on the main page.

That’s an awesome honor. Did he get any love as a receiver? The PFF was as second team receiver, behind Waddle and some UMASS guy. I’d take Rondale over both.

Congrats to him - he’s a great player. His connection to Louisville had to have helped with the Hornung award.

Still a little sore about Brohm I guess??
Louisville had nothing to do with it. It is a national award. Barkley won it last year.

congratulations Rondale Moore

Man - you’re really reaching to find that in my post. Nowhere did I say, or insinuate, that Moore wasn’t completely deserving. The Hornung Award - held in Louisville - has a little rep for trying to find players that also have some local / regional interest. Helps the attendance and build the relatively new brand that it is.

Lol. Maybe it will help future Louisville area Boilers when they're up for it.

Field Dick Pepper, why are you still hanging around here? Are you converting to a Boilermaker fan? Or is the Brohm butthurt that hard to get over? If it's the latter, I'd go see a proctologist sooner rather than later. Being here won't help your butthurt-itis. Hope the swelling goes down soon.

When this award was initially created, it did have that rep of trying to find regional players to help sell more tickets to this event. That is true. I think in the last 4 to 5 years that the committee and the award has gotten better of going more “national” with its winners. With Rondale winning, I am sure he will help to sell tickets this upcoming year being a Trinity grad and local star.

No, I did not miss the compliment of Moore. Much appreciated.

Far from being upset, I’ve made some really good connections here Patty. Besides - though time will tell - very happy with Louisville’s new coach Scott Satterfield. I think that he will do great things at UofL and get us back to the BCS / NYD6 bowl level sooner rather than later. Hope that Brohm can finally get you guys over that hump in the future.

Not too many players RM’s caliber from this area but, you never know.

 

[Purduemoe]

Rondale just named First Team All-American in SI. Was in Special teams/All Purpose category.

That second sentence may well be one of the most hilarious things ever written on this board.

You apparently have a very low threshold when comes to comedy.

Great honor for Moore and great exposure for Purdue. Think this will help recruiting? Heck yes

 

[mnpurdue]

I seem to remember seeing where Moore had received a letter from The Heisman Committee telling him that he could attend The Heisman Awards program in New York. Does anyone else remember seeing this and if so is he going?

He did get that, but they selected Haskins, Murray, and Tagovailoa as the finalist this year.

 

[mnpurdue]

Can he still attend just nor on the stage?

Rondale Moore = Gale Sayers

Just wanted to be the first to say it..

We get to watch Rondale Moore play football for two more years.

We will get to see him play with Wright and Bell (hopefully), which will make him even more dangerous.

*at Purdue! Hopefully he has a successful career at the next level and we can keep watching him!

Absolutely! But what an opportunity/privilege to have him and get to watch him in person. I am glad to this day that I got to be there to witness Drew Brees in action. In fact I regret not entirely appreciating it at the time!
