Moe Neal

Seems like just yesterday I was at a high school football game near Charlotte, NC and walked past a guy decked out in Cuse gear. This was right after we beat somebody in hoops in a early season tourney with Tyler Lydon playing great, and I assumed he was a Cuse hoops fan that was fired up about that so I brought up the hoops game. He didn’t know much about the hoop game, but told me his kid was going to Cuse next year for football, and was surprised when I said “Moe Neal?”. Really nice guy, so not surprising that Moe is said to be a great kid.

I remember Neal breaking a 50 yard TD run against Colgate in his first game. What a rock solid player he became the last two years.

Dino went out of his way to praise Neal’s dad at his presser today. He must be a good dude.

Didn’t listen to the presser yet, but that’s awesome! He seemed like a great guy. We talked for a few minutes. He said something like “maybe I’ll see you in the Dome at a game!”

I also remember him saying something about how they still needed to talk to the new coach as this was right after Shafer was fired, but he seemed to be all in on Cuse as long as the new coach wanted Moe. Glad that all worked out for everybody.
 
Could have been a 1000 yard rusher with a better line. Finished with 846.
No doubt. Better late than never though.

Saw a bunch of his family at the NC State game this year wearing Neal jerseys. Went over to one of them and asked if he was related to Moe and it turns out he was his Grandfather. Told him what a great player and person Moe seemed, for which he was thankful. Every game I watched after that, my son would proudly point out to my wife after a Moe Neal play- "we met his Grandfather at the game".
 
To keep with the familia theme: "Wake Forrest, no body comes into the Dome and talks to Mo Neal like that!"
 
He notched a win against all four NC teams. I think 5-5 without looking
 
Remember when Moe was the other guy to Robert Washington

Yeah

Moe got better every year. Truly underrated


 
Gotta love, Moe Neal; he has heart and character. He is a leader and has given his all for our program!!!
