This blog is not an attempt to discredit Joe Burrow, or shit on what he has accomplished. I don’t think it’s even possible to do that. That dude was incredible this year and I would give the Cincinnati Bengals any 5 Minnesota Vikings they wanted to get Burrow.
This blog is about a forgotten King. A man who sticks to the shadows of our minds. An understated, undersized champion of the Lone Star State. A champion of the forgotten ones. An underdog who dared to be great. The only thing bigger in Texas than their belt buckles and platters of ribs is this mans arm (and probably his balls). This blog is about the most prolific college quarterback the sport has ever seen, Casey Austin Keenum.
Heard of him? I know you have. He’s the NCAA Division I FBS career passing yards leader. He passed for over 5,000 yards in three seasons and is the only quarterback in Division I FBS football history to do so. Case Keenum was a mere 6 foot 1 inch tall boy when he decided to rewrite the college record books while in Huston. Keenum may have recieved a bachelor’s degree in business administration, but on the field he earned a PhD in kicking ass and taking names. Just ask Penn State. They still wake up with cold sweats in the midst of a nightmare about the TicketCity Bowl against the Huston Cougars. Case Keenum, at the height of his powers, tossed the the ball around the filed for 532 yards and three touchdown passes, like he was playing catch with his Dad in the back yard. He would finish that season with 48 passing touchdowns, his third season with more than 40. In total Keenum served up 155 passing TD’s hot off of that M320 Grenade Launcher he calls a right arm, which by the way makes him the all time passing touchdown leader for the NCAA Division I FBS.
I’ve only scratched the surface of the granite record books that Case Keenum etched his name all over. I suggest you look up the rest for yourself. It’s a read so great it deserves a Pulitzer Prize.
We don’t appreciate Casey Keenum enough and I will not stand for it. He tore is ACL in 2010 and came back in 2011 with a season so fine it belonged on the cover Sports Illustrated Swim. He had Madden numbers in college. He had Derrick Henry’s high school numbers in college. The pride of Abilene, Texas dominated college football and dummied defenses across the country. The fact that he went undrafted is a travesty and all 32 NFL teams should be punished.
Thank you for the memories Case.
