I'm going to bring Del Wilkes into this conversation.

 

[athenscock3]

OK. I'm going wayback for you young kids. These names may not mean anything to you but for those of us from the 50's and 60's they are familiar: Bob Mauro, Jake Bodkin, John Kompara, Frank Mincevich, Sam Deloca.

 

[Spurs up Cocks]

TJ Johnson

 

[Hobcawcreekcock]

From days gone by - George Schecterly, Steve Courson, Del Wilkes all deceased now. Two friends of mine - Chuck Slaughter and Cas Danielowski.

AJ Cann, TJ Johnson, Brandon Shell, off the top of my head from more recent times.

My sister dated Steve Courson. He was a beast. He was part of the SI story that broke regarding Steriod use in the NFL while he was at Pittsburg. Andrew Provence, Chuck Slaughter (awesome OL name too).
I so appreciate mentions of TJ Johnson-quiet, blue collar kid but produced some our best running years while he was there. Allowed Latimore to coast into end zones from the 3 Yd line instead being stuffed on 4 tries like other years. You all know what I am talking about. Spurrier was able to amass the most #'s of good quality OL to help produce points. I met Brandon Shell and Clowney after the Mizzou double overtime win at Missouri at the team bus. We shook hands with Shell and he had the largest hands I've ever seen. Catchers mitts. My son got Clowneys game gloves and the fingers wrapped into his palm. BTW Clowney loafed a lot in that game.

Blake Camper, but he's a close family friend. He's also playing tonight in the USFL championship game at 7:30pm on FOX.

He was a rather large human being too.

He was a rather large human being too.

He ate two inch thick rib eyes after a game one night and I sent him home with two more for the next day. The next morning he told me he had them for a snack before bed.
