I must be old.
Concannon was a Round 1-- #1 pick.
I like the 3 if it was maroon and the shoulder stripes gold.
Thanks.
Here's what those uniforms looked like. This is Larry Marzetti being sacked vs. Syracuse, 1964. The game was a huge BC upset, by the way.
was it a bigger upset than texas or yale? THIS IS IMPORTANT
No. Those were both bigger. But the 64 Syracuse win demonstrated that BC could win without Jack Concannon.
campion {l Wrote}:While Don Hasselbeck might be responsible for forcing Reebok Red on BC, the problem really started with Joe Yukica who changed the uniforms and the color from maroon to red as soon as he got to BC. He claimed that maroon was "too dark for TV." As though BC was on tv all the time in 1971...
Mike Esposito scores vs,. Villanova, 1973.

and Campy, I think that the '65 game at the Point was the first road trip that I went on also, small f'ing world all I remember is the stoplights every 20 feet in Pokieskie (sp)
BC lost to Texas 42-19 on 9/14/74. This was the first game that the band wore band uniforms instead of the blazers and slacks worn in prior years.

campion {l Wrote}:Here are a couple of pictures of QB Ken Smith. People forget that he was the QB who beat Texas in 76. All they remember are his problems. I was in a couple of classes and a whole lot of booze ups with Ken. He was a talented kid who fell like a stone. A very sad story of self destruction. Let's just say that Ken was the Lindsay Lohan of BC quarterbacks, and leave it at that. I have no idea where he is today, but I think of him often and wonder how he's doing.

This is pretty irresponsible campy. But I'm sure you already knew that.
I have done nothing irresponsible. This isn't like your unsubstaniated calumnies against a certain BC player last Fall. Ken Smith's issues were in the newspapers and all over talk radio and the TV news for a month.

I like old BC sports photos. Do you like old BC sports photos?
BCEagle74 {l Wrote}:campion {l Wrote}:BCEagle74 {l Wrote}: I would love to be buried on one of those. I wish it had a small BC logo in the upper shoulder.
They did have a BC seal on the right shoulder. The team is carrying first year coach Jim Miller off the field after defeating Holy Cross, 1962.
I was thinking in front, but that seal is even cooler.
Maroon Jersey, Gold numbers, Gold/white/Gold piping, BC Insigina that I ahve a patch for in my drawer on one shoulder and the interlocking old BC on the other........I could retire making thousands of those beauties.
That, that is a uni.
