| Greatest Football Catch Ever - Chris Moore, WWU (1992) |
 |
This series of clips shows WWU's Chris Moore
(80) making perhaps the greatest acrobatic
catch in a 1992 football game against the
University of Puget Sound Loggers.
UPDATE: This was ranked as the #24 'Best Damn
Top 50 Spectacular Football Plays' by FOX
Sports. See the article here:

Chris (a graduate of Issaquah High School in
Issaquah, WA) caught this pass from
quarterback Jason Stiles (14). The camerman
was WWU film student Rick Medved, who was in
the right place at the right time to capture
the catch on film. Interestingly, Medved
almost wasn't at this game, or any other. He
had approached me about making a highlight
film about the Viking football team in fall
camp, but I already had somebody to do the
job. Head Coach Rob Smith insisted I give him
an opportunity (all it would cost us was a
bus seat to our games, anyway). So, Rick was
at every game, and in the right place at the
right time.
Chris won the ESPY in 1992 for 'College
Football Play of the Year', beating out
Antonio Langham (Alabama) and Reggie Brooks
(Notre Dame). If you watch the entire clip,
watch Joe Theismann's reaction to naming
Chris the winner. Just my opinion, but ever
since that moment, I've always thought
Theismann was a schmuck. I mean, get excited,
already.
Rick didn't even know he had captured the
catch on film. Once we found it, Rick, Chris
and I plotted to get it on "America's
Funniest Home Videos", thinking it was a
shoe-in to win the $100,000 first prize. But,
the WWU SID, Paul Madison, already
distributed the tape to almost every major
news outlet, so AFV would no longer air the
tape. Tags : WWU Western Washington University Vikings Chris Moore ESPY football highlight Stiles Medved Issaquah |
