Rusty Lisch was also impressive in Bookstore.

As to the wrestling point raised downthread, Bob Golic was an A-A heavyweight wrestler AND an A-A LB at the same time. The '78 MSU game in E. Lansing featured an impressive array of multi-sport talent--Montana and Golic for ND and A-A WR Kirk Gibson of MSU.

Lou liked his O-Line to be wrestlers, I know that. Reasons

There was more than one occasion in which competing Bookstore basketball teams would each have an offensive lineman from the football team. For periods during the game it would become 4 vs 4 while the two lineman decided to wrestle each other on the court.

I am not making fun. I am wistful for that glorious time.
