Re: Denny Stolz
Sorry to hear he's passed on...but dmn...he really hung us out to dry in 1985
It's not the fall that hurts...it's when you hit the ground.

Re: Denny Stolz
His handling of his departure to San Diego State was a true debacle the week of the Raisin Bowl, but I’ll never forget my freshman season in 1985 and the Falcons going undefeated, reaching the Top 25 in the USA Today poll, The Miami Miracle and the goal posts traveling down Wooster after we beat Toledo with I believe 30.000 people at The Doyt. A very special season and I appreciate Coach Stolz for that! Rest In Peace.

Re: Denny Stolz
I remember a media person asked Coach (during game week) how he thought that toledo game was gonna go…he smiled that boyish grin and said…”I think we’ll be OK”.
We sure were and he knew we were gonna smoke em!
RIP Coach.

Re: Denny Stolz
I was a SR in high school and was at the Miami Miracle & the game vs. Tsun. 21-0 to clinch the MAC title. Got as high as #19 in the UPI and AP polls until the disaster in Fresno.ZuluWarrior wrote: ↑Sat May 27, 2023 12:48 pm His handling of his departure to San Diego State was a true debacle the week of the Raisin Bowl, but I’ll never forget my freshman season in 1985 and the Falcons going undefeated, reaching the Top 25 in the USA Today poll, The Miami Miracle and the goal posts traveling down Wooster after we beat Toledo with I believe 30.000 people at The Doyt.
