Ted Gregory

[Cusester]

I was wondering what had become of one of my favorite former players this morning so I Googled Ted Gregory and came across this old article. For those of you too young to remember him, he was the best player on a very good defense in 1987. Shocking and sad. I hope and pray that he has gotten his life together since this was written. The University should do something for him.

That's an article I never saw before. Gregory was a GREAT player. As Mac says, he really dominated a game. His knee injury his senior year was a damn shame. I saw him once in a hotel elevator when I went to and SU/BC game in Boston after he had been cut from the NFL.

As I remember it was a cheap shot by a Colgate player in a relatively meaningless game, that caused his knee injury. Very sad.

Very sad that Mac had him in a game that was like 52-0 at the time.

Yep - players should not 'convince' coaches they should still be in the game. I remember after he got hurt, he said that he had convinced the coaches to stay in the game. I said at the time players should not 'convince' coaches they should still be in the game. Probably..what...the aol board at that point? Or was it R i v a l s at that point? Whatever, I think the coaching staff have to shoulder some blame.

Sad story. Hope he's doing better now.

I'd love to hear an update (I think).

My googling skills are pretty good (not Orangeyes good, but good for the average person) and I couldn't track down any recent info on Ted Gregory.

I agree with you on that.
