Nugography:


Simon's been putting the Nug in the E-Men since 2000. He was co-captain of the B-Men in his freshman season, and in his senior year he is calling subs for the E-Men. It's true that years of over-training have necessitated that Simon wears numerous braces to keep his legs in one piece, but that doesn't stop him from running all weekend long. He's got the most heart of any E-Man, and you can see him laying out on O and D from the first game of pool play through the last point in the finals on Sunday. Nug generally handles in the man O, but watch for him to make cuts for big gains downfield.
Off the field Simon earns the privelege of being one of the last Horsemen. A member of a dying breed, Simon can be seen sipping tequila, doing a power hour, or helping out with late-night keg stands. He's a fan of beer. Aside from that, you should erase the above picture from your memory because the Nug is sporting a sweet beard that has the ladies swooning.
In his senior season Nug looks to be a leader of the E-Men and take them to another best season ever.
