re: So who are/were your school's bad arse bar room brawlers?

Back in my day we had a few.

David Prezioso was an animal. A linebacker who was famous for stomping arse at bars - and he wasn't that big either, like 5'9" 195 in his day but good gosh he would whoop some arse if some big guy thought he was gonna have some fun at David's expense.

Then there was Steve "Cro Magnon" Courson. We just called him Cro for short. He had anger issues when he drank, but he was on the roids back in those days ... he became famous as part of that late 70s OLine up in Pittsburgh, but he was an animal if he got liquored-up and and he'd take-on four or five at a time and that is not an exaggeration.

Of course, things were a lot different in the late sixties and through the mid seventies than they are today.
