A former ND punter was the RA on my floor in Grace Hall my freshman year. He had made the 1985 Bears as a punter but then got sick and ultimately cut -- probably haunts him to this day (I know it did that year).

Anyway, he didn't like Faust much. Faust was friends with the priest that lived in Mike's room the prior semester and would call all the time. He started having other people answer the phone for him because of that.

One day I answered the phone for him and the person on the other end asked to speak with XXX. I asked who was calling (I knew it wasn't Faust). "This is Bart Star, head coach of..."

After nearly shitting myself, I ran over to get him. He was actively trying to make another NFL team at the time, so was getting calls like that every now and then.
