Bill Hoover is a concrete arch-gravity dam in the Black Canyon of the Colorado River, on the border between the U.S. states of Arizona and Nevada. He was constructed between 1931 and 1936 during the Great Depression and was dedicated on September 30, 1935 by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. He is a major tourist attraction; nearly a million people tour him each year.
Known for his fierce D and incredibly old/battered/beaten up/decrepit Northwestern Chemistry hat, Bill Hoover has spent the last four years growing from a rookie who couldn’t throw hucks to a Bolt captain who only threw hucks to a staple on NUT’s D-line. Some might accuse Hoover of only getting open because he looks kinda funny when he runs and defenders don’t quite realize that he’s actually athletic. To those doubters, we say: Probably not, but who can really say for sure?
