Column: Johnny Mac, California cool

Apparently Caroline Doty isn't the only Husky on campus with a few tricks up her sleeve. On Tuesday, a video of Johnny McEntee completing several outrageous throws was posted on YouTube. And if you haven't seen it yet, please do yourself a favor and check it out right now.

I'm not exaggerating when I say that it's one of the most incredible videos I've ever seen. Some of the throws that McEntee makes don't even seem possible, like the one where he throws the ball into a trash can from a loft over 40 yards away. Then there's the one where he throws the ball into the far hoop at Gampel from way up in the back where Ryan Curry (the shirtless dancing kid) usually sits.

He also throws several perfect routes to a live receiver while blindfolded. And just to mix it up, he also helps his friend sink the 8-ball in a game of pool, knocks the dominos sign off the top of a delivery car and even takes up skeet shooting.

Best of all, all of the throws are captured clearly in the frame. Every time you see the ball leave his hand, and then travel to wherever it's going in its entirety, so you know there's no special effects or trickeration going on.

The bottom line, Johnny McEntee is an absolute champ. The throws that he makes in the video are so mind boggling that it makes me wonder why we didn't see more of him this past year. Zach Frazer must've had his own video where he knocks the hat off of an assistant coach from 60 yards away with his off hand while wearing a fat suit.

If I'm McEntee, the very first person I show that video to is coach Paul Pasqualoni. If you want to leave a good first impression on the new coach, and what better way to do that than by hitting the two goalposts while balancing a football on your foot, then taking that one and hitting the crossbar.

After watching that, Pasqualoni's probably going to want to see some truly sickening stuff out of quarterbacks Mike Box and Michael Nebrich this Spring.

Even if Pasqualoni hasn't seen it yet, plenty of other people sure have. In just two days, the video has gone viral, garning thousands of hits on Youtube. The video has also been featured on the Hartford Courant's website, YahooSports.com, Around the Horn and PTI. Yet this video will likely be the first time that many people at UConn have even heard of McEntee, since he has rarely seen the field since joining the program.

So for the uneducated, here are a few facts. Johnny McEntee is from Fullerton, Calif, and next season he will be a redshirt junior. In high school, he played quarterback at Servite High School, where he was teammates with running back D.J. Shoemate. After USC was hit with NCAA sanctions, it was McEntee who reached out to Shoemate and helped convince him to transfer.

Since then, McEntee has become the most famous UConn quarterback in history to never throw a pass in a live game, but more notably, Johnny McEntee was named Time's Man of the Year in 2006 (though admittedly, he did share the honor with a few people.)

So what's next for McEntee? Hopefully a sequel, preferably one where he and Shoemate team up – just like in the old days. They could call it "Straight Outta Servite" or something.

Or Pasqualoni could put him on the field for a couple snaps against Fordham next year blindfolded and see what happens. It couldn't end any worse than some of the passing plays we've seen here over the years.
