1972 Game Action vs Cortland

1972 Game Action vs Cortland
Eagle QB Dennis Rosolowski around left end
Half a century ago we endured triple sessions in the August heat, pounded each other on a daily basis, and battled rugged competition weekly, all in spartan conditions. We bled green and gold.

And we had fun together, too.

Half a century later we have our memories and we have each other. We no longer flash the green and gold like we did in the day. Ours is the color that comes with age, experience, and some wisdom.

We are The Gray Eagles. Our stories are preserved here.

Hold on, Frank! Not so fast!!

Do I detect some bias? To me, the photo presented offers no absolute evidence that The Ball was placed "perfectly" on the tee. From the angle taken, the view of the tee is somewhat blocked. Just as in the NFL, multiple angles are required for irrefutable evidence for an absolute conclusion. I can only assume you intend to offer up further evidence on Monday.

This much I will say. To my untrained eyes both Rudgers and Laudenslager appear to be in perfect form. Rodgers (oops) in particular is obviously on balance with his left leg and has achieved full extension with the right. His clenched fists indicate how seriously he obviously took his responsibility to be our game savior! Casullo has more experience as a Special team Coach than any of us. Perhaps he can weigh in and compare this duo to the likes of Sebastian Janikowski, whom he coached to many records. I am attaching a photo of "Sea Bass" for a side by side comparison. I think you will agree that Rudgers' form is just as pretty as this future Hall of Famer.
