As told by Scott Schaffer. (To the best of my ability to recap)
So, it's 2009, HCDM's first season as well as Shamarko's. As stated before, we had low numbers this season, I think close to 60 scholarship players actually. I'm not sure off the top of my head. Nonetheless, we're preparing for our season and home opener against Minnesota. It's late in the week, and as physical as Doug wanted to be, numbers were low and we couldn't have guys injured so practice was in helmets, jerseys and shorts on this particular day. He might've said shoulder pads but I'm positive no pants.
Anyway, Mike Williams catches a crossing pattern over the middle and Shamarko comes up and absolutely de-cleats him on the scout team, just anihilates Williams. The entire Offensive staff including Marrone start snapping on SS, "keep your Flickin guy off, No Contact, NO CONTACT". SS says, YOU GUYS TELL HIM, he obviously aint listening to me.
HCSS is laughing as he's telling the story. He said no matter what you told Shamarko he didn't understand anything but full throttle. You couldn't slow him down, it's all he knows. He also said that he works out so hard that its probably to a point where his bodies just struggling to maintain instead of developing him. You could see his affection for Shamarko in the way that he spoke about him.
Again, in honor of the Sharknado. All hail.
