It may be hard for all the non-Boomers in the Hogs Haven membership to imagine, but I played my last football game before 1978, which was my first full year of college. I started out playing ‘midget’ football in 1968, playing as an interior lineman on both sides of ball. I was an average defensive player, but felt right at home as an offensive guard, and I excelled as a blocker.
I reached the peak of the success that I would enjoy in my lifetime in 1971, when my team, the Northside Comets, went undefeated and won the league championship.
