Eddie Meador perhaps the greatest the greatest Arkansas Tech Wonder Boy of all-time. Well maybe second best but I am trying to be humble Especially since I never started. Well or even played in a varsity game. But at 5-8 128 I think I should get some credit for surviving.

I was a little ahead of you I'm sure. My freshman season was 1972 the year after they played for the national championship. I later worked in the athletic department at Henderson State for many years.
I was at Tech last week and had lunch at the Old Bank Sports Pub. They have a nice Eddie Meador display on the wall. |

Favorite Player
Without a doubt: Lance Alworth. Triple teamed. Great Speed, could leap and because he was at least double covered all the time made Gary Garrison look like Don Maynard.

Only here
I chuckled since only on this board would anyone have a remote chance of knowing what is meant by making “Gary Garrison look like Don Maynard!”
Great analogy for those of us who followed early 70’s FB! OMG that is approaching 50 years ago...

Steve Largent is my all time favorite player. I grew up in LA as a Rams fan (still am). I played WR as a kid and in high school and I never saw Largent drop a ball. He always seemed to create space with his routes and catch the ball even when he wasn’t open. Second favorite player is Marshall Faulk, an SDSU alum like myself. In my opinion he was the best all around running back ever.

Boy, that is a tough one. Do you go with a star player from today? A player from your childhood? A superstar legend you read about in a book?
As someone who really digs the early days of professional football, I guess I would go with Jim Thorpe. jeff |

I should say that, although Andre Tippett is my favorite player of all time and I do collect him, the player I’ve had the most fun collecting (and getting to know) is Gino Cappelletti.
