Only Bernie Shalvey Until Penn State Football

We’re going back into the time machine once again for the countdown, but this time we’re honoring a former PSU player that few, if any, of you fellow readers are familiar with.

Big thanks to longtime BSD reader Cpt. Mike Speer, PSU Class of 1984 and proud Air Force veteran, for reaching out to us and sharing a little bit about his friend, Bernie Shalvey. Bernie played offensive line at PSU in the late 70’s and was mostly on the scout team, but come his senior year in 1978, seized an opportunity to grab a starting spot on the O-line when one of the starters went down with an injury.
