Wow.. Connor Barwin... that's a name I had not heard in years...

I really liked him when he was an emergency walk-on on the Cincy basketball team for a few years. He looked like, and played basketball like, a football linebacker (which, of course, he was). He is definitely on my all time "favorite opposing players" list.

And here he is tonight... playing for the Eagles against the Saints.

I have had this quote as my signature on another (non-basketball) message board that I have frequented for years:

Cincinnati basketball writer P. Daugherty, "Connor Barwin playing several minutes against Syracuse is like kids with slingshots taking down Caesar's legions."

That's funny. He really was fun to watch on the court. And he's not doing badly on the field tonight either. He's getting lots of love from the announcers for his play

He is actually a very good linebacker. Had double digits in sacks with the Texan's. This is quite the game, is it not?

He co-lead the league in batted balls for a DLineman I believe.
