WVU Former Record Holder Not In Hall of Fame?

There is a former record holder at WVU, who hasn’t been put into the WVU Hall of Fame, and the record was held for over 30 years. Ralph Anastasio, who held the the punting record for 37 years, isn’t in the Hall of Fame.

The punt managed to go 78 yards in the air! It didn’t bounce, it didn’t skip, and was on natural grass. His record ws held for 37 years, until broken by Todd Sauerbrun, who managed a 90 yard punt. This record should have a astric by it. His punt hit the new astro turff and bounced 90 yards, when Anastasio’s was in the air

This comes as a great shock to not only me, but everyone from his hometown of Follansbee WV.
