Tony Davis

I absolutely loved Tough Tony, the Tecumseh Tornado. As said above, the enthusiasm and gusto he played with has no peer.

Who else here besides me was a member of Tony Davis’s football forum that he helped run (I think mostly from a marketing side) in the late 1990s? It was fun doing some of the online chats with him and interact with him on the forum.
One of the most alliterative names in 'Husker history. Greatest inspiration for alliteration! Ever!
 
So sad to hear. I remember him being referred to as "Touchdown Tony", but also as "Fumbles". Either way, he was toughness defined. Prayers to his family and loved ones!
Yes, he struggled with holding on to the ball at times. But what is kind of wild, is he actually returned punts in the NFL for the Bengals! Was shocked the first time I saw that!

Doc Rob likes to say to be a punt returner a person has to have a big crazy streak in them. I think we all know TD had enough of that in him to do the job! Well, he must have held on to the ball well enough to do it, too.
