Wow, I did not know that. Impressive, and kind of depressing at the same time. Like, of course, a Wyo player is the only person to have that.
If you ever need to laugh, just remember there was some idiot who wanted Bohl fired after 2 seasons.

A surprising one for me was Trent Gamble. He was a good player, but not an all conference player. Had a nice career with Miami...mostly due to his speed and ability to sacrifice his body.

It is depressing only in the fact he didn't get a better opportunity in the NFL. He was GREAT in college.

Wendling had a good career considering his role.

"I never saw a buckin' hoss to top Steamboat. Fact is, he was the closest thing to perpetual motion that ever wore hair. Few men could stand that kind of battering without bleeding from the nose, and most became nauseated as well. Ol' Steamboat put some of the toughest into the hospital for repairs."

I LOVED every moment of that hit! That wasn't the 49's and Lions out there. That was Wyoming vs. Utah all the way on that one! And with several of the cheap trick plays of Alex Smith and Utah that they pulled not just against WYO but anybody to blow people out, it was nice to see John return the favor with a nice cheap 7,800.00 elbow right through the facemask.

I am holding his NFL rookie card autographed! The value is sure to skyrocket; good thing he stayed ahead of Rufran on the all time lists.

In recent memory, I am going wth Chris Stutzreim. In Belechick's offense lining up as tackle eligible, unstoppable!
