Had never seen that before...thanks for sharing. Beautiful story about how sports - in proper context - can very much tie into the fabric of our lives.

A lot of the Steelers alums and players were great to him that week. He met everyone and experienced everything. Franco Harris stood out in his graciousness. Go figure.

Troy P was the other Steeler that was great to BZ.

As Mt Nittany knows I went to high school in Pittsburgh with BZ and was a fraternity member with Mt Nittany and BZ.

I was never more proud of our fraternity than what we pulled together for BZ when he was so sick at the end of life.

In his last six months on the planet he met many of the Steelers, watched Santonio Holmes catch the TD to win the Super bowl in Commisioner Goddell's box, and he played Pebble Beach Golf Course all of this at no cost to BZ or his new wife. We also connected with ESPN to have the special made.

This video does no justice to BZ who was 6ft 3 " tall and weighed about 235 with about 5% body fat. A good funny guy taken too early.

Good summary Soup. I missed him by a year. I had used up all my late drops and had to move to FL and become a golf bum. Mr. Mung approves of your post.

Mr Nittany BZ was a good guy, rugby player at PSU, Comp sci major good balance of brains and brawn.
