greatest UCONN rb

[Duncan Idaho]

CAt: what is your comment on torkelson? i am interested

remember brian herosian , lefty starter on baseball team that tangled with tom seaver and so cal in clg world series; herosian played nfl; who was other lefty starter on that staff, something like jurasic or something, a real smooth southpaw as UCONN had fierce baseball team with 2-3 mlb type hurlers

i saw vinny many times and what i remember was full speed jukes with power back game; he was scary

wes i saw many times but only on tv; he very scary

Baldwin was pretty good during that time, they also had one of the Basewicz<sp> twins from football. Matt Harvey's dad played about that time, played football also. Remember watching Herosian playing some college all-star game on TV, Senior Bowl, Shrine game something like that. There was also a guy from AIC who played in those games and ended playing some DB with the Colts I think.

anyone remember running backs beanie herald and ray Jackson

beanie was from jersey, a specimen who had elamin hoop skills, was half back but to this day i cannot figure out why he did not play hoop, he was superstar on our belden intramural hoop team

ray Jackson , a bruising full back also on my floor in belden (both beanie and ray super nice dudes and super athletes who i recall did not like losing card games)

correction: 1972 clg world series UCONN lost in 11 inning to southern cal with fred lynn of future redsox and roy smalley of future minn twins. UCONN beat texas 3-0 in 10 innings in 1st rd in Omaha and after heartbreaker in winners bracket to eventual natl champ s. cal, UCONN was eliminated by temple ( i saw this team extensively in live action and they were a couple of breaks from being natl champs!)
