Scooby's Hubby Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 little tidbit for you ... he and his 2 brothers all played together on the OU D Line in 1973. All 3 of them are former All_Americans in College at their position. Amazing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS Miscreant Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 (edited) The last I saw, just a few minutes ago, he was said to be in "extremely critical condition". By the way, not only a Hall of Famer and one of the best D-linemen to ever suit up but a genuinely kind and giving man who has always been a positive influence on the Tampa community. As a fan, Brent you have to go look up some video of Lee Roy from Tampa Bay and his days at Oklahoma as well. Dude was an absolutely phenomenal player. He played DE and it was not unusual to see him making tackles 20 - 30 yards downfield or bringing down RBs with one hand.

McSooner Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 So sad. He's still regarded as the greatest player in OU history. I was able to see him play when I was a kid and he was just a man among boys. It's frustrating to see these types of things happen at such a young age to people like Lee Roy and Wayman.

MikesVikes Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 (edited) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tampa_Bay_Buccaneers The Bucs' situation improved rapidly in 1979. With the maturation of quarterback Doug Williams and future 4-time Pro Bowl tight end Jimmie Giles, the first 1000-yard rushing season from running back Ricky Bell, and a smothering, league-leading defense led by future NFL Hall of Famer Lee Roy Selmon, the Bucs kicked off the season with five consecutive victories, a stunning performance that landed them on the cover of Sports Illustrated.[11] With four games left in the season, the Bucs needed to win only one of them to make the playoffs. In the first, STP was put all over the goal posts in Tampa to prevent the goalposts from being ripped down in the event of a celebration. Four blocked kicks later, the Bucs wasted the oily substance, falling to the Minnesota Vikings 23–22. STP was wasted again the following week as the Bucs were shut out 14–0 by the Chicago Bears, and in O. J. Simpson's final home game in San Francisco, Tampa Bay lost its third straight attempt to clinch a division title against a 49ers team which came in with a 1–13 record. However, in the season finale at home against the Kansas City Chiefs, which was played in the worst downpour in Bucs history, Tampa Bay pulled out a 3–0 victory. Finishing with a 10–6 record, the Bucs had their first winning season in franchise history, and also won the Central Division in a tiebreaker over the Chicago Bears. In an upset, the Bucs defeated the Philadelphia Eagles 24–17 in the divisional round of the playoffs.[12] Because the Los Angeles Rams defeated the Dallas Cowboys in the other NFC playoff game, the Bucs hosted the NFC Championship Game the following week in Tampa. The Bucs lost to the Rams 9–0, thanks to great defense by the Rams. In their fourth season, the Bucs seemed on the verge of fulfilling McKay's five-year plan. Let's keep LeRoy a little longer. Now he needs our STP on his goal posts. link Edited September 3, 2011 by MikesVikes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
