DB Sonny Gordon (1986 captain, R.I.P.)

Jake
Didn't find a thread about Sonny but after learning he had passed I wanted to recognize him. Sonny played DB during my time at OSU. His biggest moment was blocking a punt for a safety in the Shoe as the Bucks upset #1 Iowa, 22-13 in 1985.

He spent a few years in the CFL after one year with the Bucs. He died last week after a three-year battle with ALS. Sonny Gordon was 57 years old.

Rivalries That Once Were...

NFBuck
With CFB changing so radically over the last decade, the sport no longer resembles what it once was. Intense local/regional rivalries have been snuffed out and that sucks. Post some of the rivalries from days of yore that no longer play or are a shell of what they once were.

For me:
Pitt-WVU: "The Backyard Brawl" was always pretty regional, but in it's heyday, it was intense. I remember it being a must watch in the 80's.

OU-Nebraska: There was a time this would be in the discussion for biggest rivalry in CFB. It was a huge game annually. It started to drop off in the 90s when OU fell into mediocrity. By the time OU rejoined the living, Corn began its descent into irrelevance. I remember the games from the 80's and they were nuts

Nebraska-Colorado: It's hard to believe now, but Colorado was indeed a national power for the better part of a decade from the late-80's to the mid-90's. Their annual tilt with Corn typically had conference and national title implications. Great rivalry for a short time.

Miami-FSU: this was annually a matchup of top-5 teams and a must watch from the late-80s til the mid-90's. Huge, huge game each year. Miami died in January 2003 and FSU has been up and (mostly) down for 20 years. This has become just another game, but for a while it was an amazing rivalry.

Illinois State AD Kyle Brennan resigns amid report of excess spending on trip to watch Big Ten Championship​


Illinois State University Athletics Director Kyle Brennan resigned after being pressed by a public radio station on spending during a December 2021 donor trip to Indianapolis for the Big Ten football championship game. WGLT.org 89.1 FM reports "ISU preemptively announced Brennan's resignation" as the outlet was planning to report that Brennan and another top ISU Athletics official spent more than $23,000 total on the one-day trip to Indianapolis. Interim President Aondover Tarhule will oversee the school's athletics until a full-time replacement for Brennan is announced.

WGLT.org reports the trip, which was centered around the 2021 Big Ten Championship Football Game between Michigan and Iowa and also included a stop at a strip club, was at least partially paid for with money held by the university's fundraising foundation. Guidelines surrounding those funds prohibit "lavish” or “extravagant” spending, including for donor events.

Records obtained by WGLT showed Brennan purchased nine 100-level club Big Ten Championship game tickets on StubHub within a day of kickoff, in three separate transactions at a total cost of $18,754. A voucher Brennan submitted to the ISU Foundation listed “donor stewardship” as the purpose of the trip, per the station. A portion of the group was reported to have concluded the evening at a gentlemen's club in downtown Indianapolis after the game. Those on the trip flew to Indianapolis in a private Falcon 900 jet owned by former Reditus Labs CEO Aaron Rossi, who was indicted in March 2022 on federal tax-fraud charges.

Just sayin': What a jerk!!!...:lol:
