    I remember Vinny had the strongest arm of the three freshmen (a good group): Vinny, Bernie and Kyle Vandeweghe. But I used to hear Greg Jones was strongest of all and I’m pretty sure he and Vinny were on the team at the same time. I think Bernie and Kyle were gone by then. Bernie was the weakest...

    Brett was apparently comparing Craig’s arm to Steve Walsh’s arm. I think Vinny’s arm was in a class of its own. If you read a recent post of mine, it’s possible the strongest arm off the mid-80’s might have been the forgotten QB Greg Jones.

    NO! *****. Mom running on to field when he gets hurt? Don't believe it. Call me a liar. I know what Perriman said. It was implied, not a direct statement. It was pretty clear he thought the backup, Erickson, was a better passer. Maybe you're right. Maybe Walsh would have succeeded in DR's...

    You should have seen that storm....I don't know if I've ever seen a swirling rainstorm like that. I remember looking up from the stands and the rain was just swirling, like nothing I've ever seen. Hard and powerful. Incredible.

    The truth might really have been that Steve didn't have the tools for Erickson's offense. His arm was too weak. Don't forget that he started spring practice when DE came in -- spring, 1989. then he quit and turned pro. I think he saw the handwriting on the wall and he felt he might have been...
