I heard a lot of guys from that era never showed.Brother went to UM and graduated and had classes with Jim Kelly. He said Jim was never in class. LOL
He was a ZBT and I would constantly hang out on campus with him because my parents were always working. With my grades (I went to school at NM Sr High and sat next to Earl Little) I could barely get into Miami Dade. We've been season ticket holders since 1980. Had only missed one home game(Honeymoon) 2001 UM/FSU Shockey TD since 1980 until 2017 ND game. I haven't forgiven my wife fo missing that UM vs FSU game. Had to watch it in a shack in Jamaica LOL. Unfortunately I've also been a season ticket holder for the Phins since 1980 and had some fun years with Marino but really don't have the passion for the NFL anymore.
Some years back, I met a guy who was a graduate instructor. Taught an introductory math class. Had two football players who never showed. He ended up flunking them. He never had a football player in his class again. That was from around that Kelly era, early "80's.
I guess school was kind of laid back about classes back then.
