If you live Jackson, Mississippi, you can go see Hugh Green speak tomorrow night.
Former Pitt All-American and All-Pro defensive end Hugh Green, a Natchez native, will be the speaker Monday at 6 p.m. when the Jackson Touchdown Club meets at River Hills Club.
A conversation with the longest tenured Tampa Bay Buccaneer, former Pitt player — Dave Moore.
Two hundred career games? That’s a great milestone.
It is. It’s attributed to a few different things. Being in the right place at the right time, being able to stay healthy, which is a lot of luck involved with that, and also the ability to do a lot of different things. I played fullback, H-back, tight end, snapping. I’ve had my share of plays at different spots. Could you ever have imagined when it began that it would last this long? No, absolutely not. Coach [Paul] Hackett’s here, and he told me when I was a senior in college — he was my head coach at Pitt — I asked if I was going to get drafted, and he said don’t get my hopes up because tight ends are a dime a dozen. That’s exactly what he told me. Now he’s coaching me 17 years later.
Moore pretty much does long snapping these days.
