All-Time BGSU Falcons For NCAA 2005 (X-box)

Let me help you on Defense:

OLB - Joe O'Neill was much better than the rest listed - just an opinion.

MLB - YOU MUST ADD MIKE CALCAGNO. He was the hardest hitting MLB of all time. He single handledly led the turn around of Blackney's first Defense. Ask anyone he played with or coached him.

Great work otherwise...

Dont get too crazy with the Killer B suggestion - Bair was good, but cmon.

I believe you forgot Kevin O'Neil at MLB the guy played for the Lions for 3 years.

NYFalcon94 - your pledebrother was a geek! Someone above corrected me, Doug Smith was the guys name.

Kevin O'Brien was a good OLB.

My freshman year, I was on o-line scout team and had to block Calcagno every once in awhile. Your right about one thing, he was the toughest guy I have ever met, but I don't think he was one of the best. He had 3 super d-linemen in front of him. The 3 "Amigos" ???? Well I'm not sure if that was it, but they called themselves something like that. Paul Harris, Mark Ross and Steve W - something - I can't remember his last name. I don't recall seeing a better combined d-line for BG since.

What do you mean you havent heard of any of the receivers, Rob and ron redd? cole magner? charles Sharon? Szlacschic? have you been living under a rock? all of those guys were the top falcon receivers, I did miss some lineman.. I have trouble rememberin those guys. We have had some great full-backs.. but the guys i have were the old time fullbacks back wen that was a premier position and they are in my mind the top falcon fullbacks.

I"ve got a Falcon football poster with Ronnie Heard, Rich Dakin and Fred E. Falcon dressed up as Uncle Sam saying WE WANT YOU at BGSU football games.

Heard was the first premier receiver I remember watching at the Doyt. (I started attending games when I was 6 in 1985).

Hecker played in the early to mid 50's, and Heard in the 80's ( I think)...I don't think I'd include Bautista in that group, if only because he was a JUCO and only played 2 yrs. Stands to reason that his name would be more familiar to younger guys, but I wouldn't put him in same class as most of the other WR's you've rightfully included.

Overall, I think you did a nice job of including a lot of Falcons who've "faded" away in people's memories....

I'm just playin with ya big dog. Those were the years I was away in Iowa for college and playing soccer so I didn't get to listen or attend really any games, but there usually was one star that stood out in the game summaries, and it was #4.

I think you are confusing Brad Smith with a guy I pledged with and he was definitely no football player. The wuss transferred to Michigan after his freshman year. Speaking of Michigan, aren't we playing them next year?

Doug Smith, C, played for the Rams from 1978 - 1991.

There you go. Now I can at least go to sleep at night. I was looking at that list and I just saw 3 or 4 guys that I wouldn't put on there.

No Kevin O'Neill (91-92)? That guy was amazing! I think he had 19 sacks and 38 TFL in ONE YEAR!

Warthog - I hate the fact that one of Doug's goals was to play for ohio state and that his hope were dashed by playing for BG.

At the time that may have been the case, but I wonder what he thinks now of all the BG success?

Someone do a where are they now on this guy. Over 10 years in the NFL, is he involved much inour program today?
