That is Syracuse football !!!

 

[SU68]

When Larry and I were freshmen on Booth 1, we'd play touch football in Thornden Park and he knocked me on my a$$. He could also press me over his head. (I was MUCH skinnier then.

He almost went to Clemson.

he was also a linebacker to start out with. I wonder how he'd be used now.

Just want to say that I love you man.

Third and 3 and everyone in the stadium knows who is getting the ball and he still made it most of the time. One of my all time favorites.

I still remember a 1971 Monday Night Football game between the Bears and the Dolphins. The Dolphins won 34-3. But those were not the numbers that mattered. The numbers that mattered were:

I counted 4 head-on collisions. It was 2-2 by my judgement. I don't think either man had ever been hit so hard.

I love the fact new coach Dino mentioned Larry during interviews when he was introduced to the press.

Rick Cassata, who had been a much criticized quarterback, got the best of Heisman trophy winner Gary Beban in the last regular season game, 32-14 and in the Hula Bowl as well.

My understanding was he didn't go because they weren't doing pizza parties back then ... he only missed out on Dabo by about 50 years ...

Yes I do, college boys against the Packers. He knocked out literally one of the most feared linebackers in the pros Ray Nitschke

I meant to snap a pic, but one of the places I camped the last few days was Sailors Pit, which had a huge sign out front that said something like "Come fish with Larry Csonka!" Don't think he was down there tho
