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.

THE SIDELINE
A semi-regular collection of comments gleaned here and there from the musings of our brothers.

 I remember Jank's record punt. Perfect spiral that just kept on going. It was legit!
John Owens, March 7

I remember Massey's IUP tackles. He was everywhere, but also a product of great support from the entire D. Best group effort of any game we ever played in my opinion. Proud just to be on the same field with those guys.

Hell, you played football at Brockport. You can survive anything!

50 to 80mph winds!? After fishing in Alaska for close to 40 years, we called that "another day at the office!" LOL
Doug Stokes, March 11

And his last name is Rudgers, not Rutgers, one of the few places he didn't coach at, to my knowledge. "Go, Gray Eagles!" (Editor's Note: And all this time we thought it was 'Rogers'.)
