Default Oh how I love research

Check out the three minute mark!

Or just watch the whole four minutes, get the feel of the game!

Enjoy!

Default Nice Pics and Video!

That second pic (B&W) would make a good EF figure!

I see you had knee braces on both(?) knees? I remember those braces, had one on my left knee. Those things look like something out of the medieval age when you compare them to things guys wear today!

It sounds like you had some great times at ND.

I know how you feel about the age thing. I turned 41 in March (holy crap, heading toward 42!) and it's tough to look back sometimes.

Judging by the recent pics, it looks like you are keeping yourself in good shape...I'm sure being an athlete your whole life, it's tough NOT to do some things out of habit!

Do you play any ball in flag leagues or anything like that?

I did that a few times (some pretty good ex college players in a few of those leagues) but that was back in my mid 20's! I eventually got hooked on ice hockey and have been playing ever since.

Thanks for sharing those pics and the memories!

Default Thanks again

I just want to say a special thanks to Sweeka for that clip. I had no idea that was out there. Thanks again. Also,to Steelerfan 1967. I don't play anything sports wise. I was a gym rat for the past 10 years,and after my back heals up I can't wait to hit it again. I'm so out of shape right now and have lost a ton of muscle. I hope they are right about muscle memory.
Anyway, I just love to play some electric football these days, and I am crazy about this hobby I lost for 30 years. You all have totally brought back that little kid inside of me.

Great Stuff! Sweetka that was excellent. I remember watching that game at home. Thats why I love college football. It's the atmosphere. Frank, dont worry about getting old. I am 41 and still love to play with little plastic football players vibrating across a metal field. The key to staying young is feeling young.

Frank,
I was so dissappointed I missed you at the convention here. It is cool to post those pictures though, it is amazing you played on those great Lou Holtz teams! If I am not mistaken, didn't you have a big catch in the Bowl game that gave ND the National Championship?

Irish and Oilers all the way...
Mark
