Larry Csonka

Agreed. Would bring up opportunities to mention Csonka playing for Syracuse which is always great for us and getting any comparisons to a hall of gamer like Csonka can only be a plus for Hough.

Used to love watching zonk. Loved the unbalanced line and the scissors play which we ran to perfection.
Also i dont recall too many times any team stopped SU/Zonk on 3rd or 4th and 1. Guy was a bull with a capital B.

Should be a fun read.

That would be Csonka, not Czonka, although we did call him "The Zonk".

When he first showed up he announced to the team that he was going to break all the old rushing records. The players thought he was crazy. A friend at the time, who was a lineman on the team, told me this story. Other stories, that are less verifiable, he once rolled over, or lifted, a volkswagon and the team once destroyed a dorm bathroom after a loss.

That's great. Been looking forward to reading the book.

We were freshmen on Booth 1. I don't understand how Larry got so old while I'm still 18!

Happy birthday Larry!

I love Zonk. He'll give shout outs to Cuse football on his X when good things happen.

Look up Fullback in the dictionary and you’ll see a picture of Csonka. My favorite player of all time.
