Championship Subdivision Football | FCS Football | Stadiums | Blogs | Forums

Okay, so I stole this topic from Bobcat Nation (FTC!!), but it was a good topic and I think it would make for some interesting discussion over on this board.

As many of you on the East coast are aware, we have something out here in the West called "Mount Rushmore." It's a big giant mountain with four faces on the front of it depicting "good" presidents from the past (W soon making an appearance!). So to tie this little game together, if your school had a big giant rock overlooking your city, who's four faces from your football past and present would be on that rock. Discuss.

UOP

Amos Alonzo Stagg
Eddie LeBaron
Tom Flores
Dick Bass

Sac State

Bob Mattos
Charles Roberts
Aaron Garcia
John Gesek

Tought because the current QB might be a candidate...

But if I did it today, based on both UMass performance and post-UMass, I'd put:

Greg Landry - QB
Marcel Shipp - RB
Todd Bankhead - QB
Steve Baylark - RB

There could be a very strong arguement to replace Todd Bankhead with Liam Coen...I'll listen....

Jim Hart QB (SIU and St. Louis Cardinals when they still had football)
Kevin House WR (SIU and Tampa Bay Bucs)
Rey Dempsey Coach of the 1983 National Championship team
Carl Mauck OL (SIU and the Houston Oilers)

I'm sure some of our younger fans would want to include Bart Scott and Brandon Jacobs, but I am an old goat who is still living in the past.

So for Montana you have to go w/ the following:

Dave Dickensen, QB (QB of 1995 national championship, former CFL MVP)
Lex Hilliard, RB (All-time rushing leader, current Miami Dolphin)
Kroy Bierman, DE (Buck Buchanan winner, current Atlanta Falcon)
Scott Gragg, OL (Former 49er, I believe)

There's countless others that could be on here.. John Edwards, Don Read..

Jack Swarthout.

Some of us younger programs don't have the wealth of history from which to draw (I'm feeling you CCU fans). So here is what I have for Liberty:

Sam Rutigliano
Eric Green
Dwayne Carswell
James McKnight

I'd put Samkon Gado up there but he was primarily a backup during his time in Lynchburg.

Dude, what is wrong with me? Why is it the only name I know on this list is the Koach of the Kardiac Kids?

The last three had rather lengthy and at times relatively distinguished NFL careers. But like I said in the preface, it is tough for us younger programs to have four marquee names.

YOUNGSTOWN STATE UNIVERSITY PENGUINS
Jeff Wilkins [K]
Ron Jaworski [QB]
Dwike Beede [H. COACH-invented penalty flag and hundreds of wins]
Jim Tressel [H. COACH-name says it all]
