Requiem For De'Vion Moore's Crazy Eyes

De'Vion Moore represented Missouri with class and integrity through his four seasons in a Missouri uniform. He has been everywhere a running back can be on a depth chart -- No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, No. 4, rising quickly, trickling down, etc. -- and for his career he has 242 carries, 1,216 yards and ten touchdowns to show for it. He also played an enormous role in one of Missouri's best wins, the Homecoming triumph over Oklahoma in 2010, when he rushed for 73 yards on just 10 carries and ripped off a series of brutal runs in the fourth quarter. His 39-yarder, in which he dragged a series of Sooners for 20 yards, is one of Mizzou's best ever plays. (In fact, I just got chills writing about it.)

Moore made his mark in a Tiger uniform, and he should be commended for that. He also provided what was one of my most secretly enjoyable series of moments as a Rock M writer. After each home game (and some road games/bowls), Bill Carter would tell me that pics were ready for review, and if Moore had gotten some carries in said game, I knew there was a chance that another CRAZY INTENSE EYES picture was waiting to stare at me. Consider this your De'Vion Moore Intense Eyes Compendium. And I apologize if you have trouble sleeping tonight.

It's weird.

I had never noticed Moore’s crazy eyes until I looked at the pictures from this bowl game, which was Moore’s last game as a Tiger.

I really appreciated Moore’s running over the years, but what I appreciated more was that you never heard Moore complain about being the starter or being in a platoon or being the backup. He just went out there and did whatever job the coaching staff asked of him, and he usually did it very well.

I think we'll reconcile it by winning!

Same here

I looked at that bowl game picture and said those are some intense crazy eyes. Then Bill posts a compendium. Nice.

One of the many "You gotta see this" posts from Bill C. and RMN.

It is interesting to see this all put together and really see his eyes. I had to or will show my wife, daughter, son and a few friends.

Must have IRON KNEES too.

How did he play 4 years on that turf without a knee injury?
He didn’t get poked in the eye’s either that i recall ;)

Guys like Mr. Moore keep MIZZOU moving forward… his eyes say it all.

I went to find his twitter handle

to tweet him the link to this thread to know he’s appreciated…

The one I clicked on is NOT him.
