Since I have about as much ability to resist an outright dare as a Toon has of
resisting "Shave and a Haircut" I must now come clean and delurk myself.
My name is Kevin O'Gorman and I am about as close as you are going to come to
the ultimate Falkenberg/Faust victim. I was a COTH major whose final project
has a big blury scene in it because Pam insisted she did not need glasses and I
was a student manager for the Athletic Department so I worked with Coach Faust
for three years. Oh, yeah, and since I graduated in '87 I left one year before
we were national champs, but I did get to serve as the personal tackle dummy
for the Penn State team that whipped us during a downpour in Happy Valley in
'86. I was the ballboy for the Penn State side of the field. Only one wearing
gold on that side of the field I can guarantee you.
I have to agree with Frank that there my be some genetic similarities between
Gerry and Bob, but I hope nurture soon stepped in and enhanced Coach Bob's
synapses.
And as long as we are nominating (reminiscing) old projects, Ted, if you find
an old B/W 16mm with an Indiana Jones remake on it, from 1986 feel free to show
it. Also anything marked "Shrubs in Space" will be worth a peek.
I myself have remained tangentally connected to my video roots. I just
defended my thesis for a masters degree in multimedia design. It's from that
Michigan school that wears green and white but we don't have to get into that
now. If anyone knows anyone in the entertainment or educational software
industries, I'm all ears.
And if you want more football horror stories, you know where to find me.
