I first heard about that on here a few years ago.

In reply to: Luther Bradley holds the pro record for most INTs in a game.  posted by G.K.Chesterton

Post Reply Return to Cartier Field

I asked him about it at an event two years ago and he gave credit to preparation and also to Coach George Allen's dedication to same.

Several years earlier, under Charlie, I saw him looking around the soon to be opened Gug. I asked him how he and his teammates ever won a National Championship without all this "stuff." He smiled and his answer was short and sweet: "We won two."

I have a framed picture with him and Ross Browner on the field before the 2006 Penn State game. I told Ross that he and his teammates were the reason I became an ND fan. He really appreciated it and called Luther over for a picture together. Two great guys and legendary players.

You are loaded with awesome stories like this! Wow! *

in 2006, including the one I mentioned with Ross and Luther. What a loss Ross' passing was.

The other photo is the one I took after I got the heads up from that future 4* General (then a "lowly" Lt. Col). He whispered, "Moff ... check 3 O'Clock." I looked over my shoulder to the right and saw who was talking to Luther and Tim Brown. I then took the "no look" photo, as I knew Joe appreciates his privacy. I then looked at the photo to see if I had even gotten them in the frame and saw that they were on to me and had smiled for the photo. I then looked over at them and Joe already had his hand extended to shake my hand. It's nice when your childhood heroes turn out to be even better people than you imagined. First time I had shaken his hand since August 1978 in the third floor lobby of Fisher. I was 12 and my mom saw him and asked him to come over and say hello to me and he was great about it then too. What a joy to watch him then become, imho, the greatest QB ever.

I lived in the same section as Kevin Hart, Rusty Lisch & Dennis Grindinger in '77-78 and used to lift with them from time to time. There was one weight room in the ACC with Nautilus machines and it was open to everyone. Once I followed Luther on the bench press and it was humbling how far up I had to move the pin.
Those are phenomenal pictures *
