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.

An early Gray Eagle email
Saved them then for the future;
which is now. Just a few left.

Coach D gave me a chance at nose guard when he told me frankly that I was too short to play LB and too slow to play anywhere else. I loved it and have been coaching with his favorite quotes without realizing it, usually in a 5-3 defense. I regret I did not see him before he passed. He was a character, but really cared about us looking back.
