Bam Bam from 48.....It's Goooood!

Steve McMichael made it to the hall! Not THE hall, but close. He will be in the College Football Hall of Fame class of 2009.
Mongo joins others in this hall which seems to represent greats who may never make the real hall. In many ways it is fitting for a great player that thrilled Bears and Longhorn fans for years. He actually holds the games played record for the Bears, which is noteworthy considering the teams long history and the brutal position he played. He was a working man's player who showed up every day and kicked ass from the shadows of Dent and Hampton. He had more sacks than Hampton.
Known as Bam Bam at UT, he said his greatest thrill was kicking a 48 yard field goal! A guy like this never wants to come off the field. Bam Bam was 6 of 7 kicking and backed up perhaps the greatest Longhorn kicker and world's worst currency trader, Russell Erxleben.
Mongo went on to entertain us in pro wrestling and maybe the most famous singing of TMOTTB, except maybe Jim Belushi. Or this one, or this one.
Mongo also gives a shit about the worker as evidenced by this video, and that's why he's in my personal hall of fame. That and I saw him one time at a Bobcat Goldthwaite show.
