I never forgave Abrams for missing the game winning field goal against UCLA in '94. It was the only game of that season that I was able to attend. I went with my buddy who was a brobdingnagian Bruin fan. I had to hear about that loss for years to come.
It's amazing that he still holds the scoring record. Here is an excerpt from SF GATE:
"Abrams' sophomore year was a comedown of sorts, with the kicker making just six of 13 field goals from 30 yards and beyond. And his junior year was an all-out crash. He made just nine of 18 field goals, and he missed two very makeable attempts that would have won games in the final seconds. After one miss, Walsh said, "That kick was so bad, we could've moved the goalposts in front of (Abrams) and he still would have missed."

Put a glide in your stride and a dip in your hip.
