This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

OJ went 1st in '69 draft; Kunz 2nd; Keyes 3rd;Mean Joe 4th by olson

Notre Dame had 13 players taken in the '67 draft

Kunz !st rd
Seymour 1st
Hanratty 2nd
Kuechenberg 4th
Winegardner 5th
Tuck 6th
Gladieux 8th
Norri 11th
Belden 12 th
Lavin 12th
Quinn 13th

A few interesting notes:

*Ed Tuck G
was taken in the 6th rd even though he hadn't started much for ND....in a video I posted on Cartier of the USC_ND game of '68, Tuck #69 started for the injured Larry DiNardo & played well....the NFL scouts always watched that game closely (big man on big man) considering it the best test of USC & ND players. Tuck moved way up the draft board due mostly to that game.

Bob Belden QB
the 3rd string ND QB was also drafted-pretty impressive, especially when you consider that he had knee problems that slowed him at ND

Bob Kuechenberg DE
Bob played OT in '66 (he actually replaced Kunz when George was injured & lost for the season). Ara moved Kuechenberg to DE for '67 & the rest of his ND career...though Miami moved Kuechenberg back to OL in the pros where he became an All Pro OG.

"Mean Joe" =Mean Joe Greene to Pittsburgh as #4 in 1st rd from N Texas St.
