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 Gray Eagle

Played football at Brockport College sometime from 1964 - 1973
Survived triple sessions in late August heat wearing full pads
Played for the love of the game, certainly not fortune or fame.

He knows that another Saturday brought another big challenge
Work harder, hit more, run at least 10 100-yard sprints in practice
You might stand a chance to reach the victory circle again.

To him football must have been more than just a game!
