Greatest Football Catch Ever - Chris Moore, WWU (1992)



Uploaded by: kirkkrisko
Video Description:
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: http://msn.foxsports.com/other/story/6072132 Chris (a graduate of Issaquah High School in Issaquah, WA) caught this pass from quarterback Jason Stiles (14). The camerman was WWU f
ilm 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.

so why would u be playing division 3 if uve never ever dropped a pass before? Every body drops passes but this guy dropped it and had the concentration to pull it back in when hes flopping around on the ground thats a great catch ur just a jealous little bitch cuz ur a bench warmer for a college nobodys ever heard of. and ur girlfriends ugly too.

When did I ever say ... ( 3 days ago by Caldwell1132)
When did I ever say I never drop a pass? I'm playing Division 3 because I'm 150 lbs and 5'9" and not extremely fast and because Sewanee is the right place for me. I've visited Yale and Tennessee and a few other D 3 schools in Indiana and Mississippi and none of them felt right and Sewanee feels right. I'm not jealous of this catch. I just don't like the fact that the "most amazing play" was generated off a dropped pass.
u said u wouldve ... ( 3 days ago by nickyknees)
u said u wouldve caught it the first time but everyone drops passes occasionally so how do u know u wouldve caught it and u said it took zero skill to make this catch but it def took some skill and a lot of luck to make the grab ur definately jealous cuz this kid got more famous for one catch than ull ever be.

who said it was the "most amazing play" anyway
Apologize, the play ... ( 3 days ago by Caldwell1132)
Apologize, the play of the year. not most amazing play. I like the run better than that catch personally. But that's my opinion. I don't think this catch deserves play of the year.
