Favorite Patrick Cobbs moment or run ?

[calvin]

On a more positive note, what was your favorite Patrick Cobbs moment in his UNT career ? I will have to go with the TD in the New ORleans Bowl against Cincy. When he took the pitch from Drew he was flying down the sidelines untouched. What a game. The Baylor game is a close second.

Absolute favorite Cobbs moment was when he ran between one of his blockers and a person on the opposite team. They were locked up with a little bit of space between them and Cobbs just kind of lowered his shoulder and popped out on the other side. Amazing!

yeah, i was going to say the baylor game for sure. that was my first north texas game and i was hooked! i remember him having an incredible run for like 60-80 yards that game (up the middle i think), but i'll have to consult my dvd later tonight to remember exactly.

speaking of "highlight" dvds, will there even be one this year and if so, i can't wait to hear the commentary's spin on the season!

I loved it in the Utah State game where he stiff armed a dude so hard that it de-cleated him. PC went on the game 15 more yards.

Where to start? I'd have to say the Arkansas St. game 2003. This was my dad's first game. Our offense trotted onto the field and I told my dad to watch out for #43 (my old jersey number BTW). He said, hmm, we'll see. About that time he turned the corner on the ASU defense and tore off a long one. He just kind of looked at me with a little suprise and I smiled. Cobbs burned up their defense that entire game. I remember thinking they were especially slow on the corners and we exploited it all game long. I believe this was the game with the infamous grenade and Heisman pose. What a night. I missed having one of those this year.

Patrick had so many great runs its hard to pick a favorite one. My favorite play might have been when he returned the blocked punt on special teams, because it just shows what kind of player he was.

My favorite photo would probably have to be:

He had so many great runs that it would be hard to pick.

However, my favorite Patrick Cobbs play was his touchdown pass to Randy Gardner at ULM in 2003. That was just too cool.

We'll miss you Patrick!

I just realized that I will have to retire my #43 game day jersey this year. Now what to do?

Patrick will be missed.

As far as the highlight DVD, I believe they will have one and I think they should make a chapter in there for Patrick. A section in there showing all his highlights from his career would be awesome. Can they make that happen?

As far as my favorite run, there are too many to choose from. The one against Ark St where he split the linemen was great and the 80 yarder against Baylor was awesome too.

But it's got to be the run he made against Tulsa this year. I cant' wait to see this one again on the DVD this year. I know the season was bad and the Tulsa game was really bad, but Patrick absolutely juked the corner out of his jock by the sideline and then ripped off about 15 more yards or so. It was the prettiest juke I have ever seen.

I think that corner's shoes are still sitting on the field.

Cobbs versus Utah State 2003. The run where he jukes the safety so bad at midfield that the poor boy drops right to the turf like a sack of potatoes. How do you explain THAT to your secondary coach on the sideline? I laughed big-time on that one. Cobbs will sure be missed...

GMG!!!

Cobbs is a man.

No gloves. No arm bands. No fluff.

How football should be played.

We will miss you Patrick.

The first time I ever saw Cobbs play was in the 2002 Homecoming game against LaMO... he and Galbreath put on a spectacular show that day. I think the final score was something like 42-2.

The blocked punt. Showed me that PC was a team player.

My other favorite memories are of how he spoke of North Texas in interviews and how he represented himself. This young man will have earned two degrees by the time he graduates, set a record as our greatest running back ever, always spoke highly of his time at North Texas, recruited JaMo and exhibited his team first attitude last year when he was injured by mentoring JaMario. #43 should be retired and put up on the pressbox by Mr. Greene, Mr. Haynes, Mr. Gill and Mr. Renfro.

Next year against SMU would be a great time to do that.

One of my favorite stories involved a friend who hung out and studied with him and had no idea he was a football player. She thought he was just a great guy to be around.

Now, is she an idiot? Yes. But, the fact that he carried himself humbly enough the in 2003 and 2004 when he was doing some of his best work (she only found out when he got hurt) shows what an outstanding individual he is without even bringing football into it.

How many college athletes, even the 2nd and 3rd stringers, would avoid advertising what they do on campus or in the classroom?

Great idea btw - Let's run that number up at the SMU game.

True, but the SMUt game will draw a crowd anyway. Plan this for another game that isn't expected to draw a big crowd based on the opponent alone and then market it to death. Oh wait, did I say market a game? Sorry.

It needs to be the Open week of whatever NFL team he is playing for.
