Elf Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I'd put the Westerkatch up against any freakish circus catch. Evar. It just didn't happen when there was anything on the line is all. Not his fault. Exactly, why does it need to have an effect on the outcome in order to be great? I don't think it does. 2 Quote Link to comment
huKSer Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUyqZWXlXC4 I can't watch the video Maybe because I refuse to listen/click on anything that is SECtv Quote Link to comment
I am I Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Yes, I think it is the greatest catch ever. Who cares if it had an impact on the game? It was tipped. He was tight roping. And above all, he did it on purpose. As soon as he knew it was behind him, he reached back and snagged it, while keeping his foots in bounds. I've never seen anything like that. Ever. 1 Quote Link to comment

Haole Husker Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Picture I designed: Call it "Westercatch II" Check out my Facebook page where I showcase all of my designs: Esrom Visual Evolution 2 Quote Link to comment

RedRex Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I highly doubt that it will be last freakish catch we see from him. "Westerkatch" suits him perfectly. Quote Link to comment
beanman Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I like #1 in this video. I think that is more impressive than any on the whole list. Quote Link to comment
redout22 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Phenomenal catch but the best ever?? I'm a fan of the catches when you have to catch behind a defenders back Quote Link to comment
I am I Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I guess it's the greatest to me because he wasn't even looking at it, yet still, it was obvious he positioned his body to be able to actually catch it behind his back. It wasn't an accident, he caught on purpose behind his back. I could throw 50 passes to someone running a full speed out route, without the ball even being tipped, and I bet you they wouldn't catch ONE pass behind their back. it was, IMO, the greatest catch I have ever seen. 1 Quote Link to comment

The ball being tipped definitely adds to the degree of difficulty. Then, to catch it behind your back after being tipped makes it one of the greatest. Quote Link to comment

TGHusker Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Davidson's catch- my all time fav - saved a championship. Franco Harris's Immaculate Reception has to be on any list http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=YMksKd9Jjho#t=0 Quote Link to comment
Guy Chamberlin Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 ESPN and the dreaded national media have given Westerkamp's catch more mad props than the average Husker fan. Quote Link to comment
Warrior Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 It's not even his best catch. The Hail Mary was much more important and athletic. The behind back is impressive, but also lucky... the athletic part was getting his feet down.. Quote Link to comment
