Mosiula Faasuka Tatupu (Patriots) and his son Mosiula Mea'alofa Tatupu (Seahawks). I'm pretty sure the Special Teams Player of the Year Award is named after the dad, who was a pro bowl player in the NFL. I think the son is still active with the Seahawks. Snake would undoubtedly refer to him as: "That big ol' middle linebacker of theirs".

He's still at USM. This year he'll be handling all 3 kicking duties--punting, KO, & PK. His first name is Britt. Britt Barefoot, kicker.

Yeah, but he kicks with a shoe on. How weak is that?

Not that unusual, but my favorite name in football (even before a few months ago), is Major Applewhite. That name just screams leader.

Didn't OU have a kid named Elvis Peacock and Nebraska had Jarvis Redwine?
Yes...both played with their respective teams back in the seventies. Elvis Peacock, I believe, got his "15 minutes of fame" by being the receiver on the end of a hook and ladder play for OU in the 1976 OU/Nebraska battle that ultimately led to a come-from-behind Sooner win.
