Garb Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Regardless of what you say about Lowell, the RiverHawks care. UMass-Amherst? Not so much. BTW: Northeastern sucks donkey balls. People have actually heard of Northeastern....and they play in the Beanpot. Who the heck has ever heard of UMass Lowell? What's the biggest major there anyway? Vietnamese Pedicure?

Garb Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Reggie Lewis? LOL! Bastid! Take a look at these football "legends" NU has produced! Husky Football Legends (http://gonu.com/football/archives/legends.html) BOB CAPPADONA (1963-65) Bob Cappadona was Mr. Fullback. He bulled Northeastern to its first perfect (8-0) season in 1963 and then seasons of 5-3 in '64 and 6-2 in '65. He was an annual All-City, All-New England, All-East fullback and earned All-America honors twice. He graduated holding all the NU rushing records and still holds the mark for most touchdowns in a career with 24. He averaged nearly 100 yards per game and one TD per game throughout his career. Drafted by the Boston Patriots, he was their Rookie of the Year in 1966 and played professionally for four seasons. He owns Cappadona Insurance Co. and is active in the NU Varsity Club. SEAN JONES (1980-83) After a stellar 13-year NFL career, capped by a Super Bowl victory with the Green Bay Packers in 1997, Sean Jones announced his retirement. Northeastern honored Jones by retiring his number 77 on April 10, 1997. At NU, Jones spent two seasons (1980 and '81) as an offensive tackle before converting to a defensive force. The Los Angeles Raiders used their first pick in the 1984 draft to take the 6'7, 270-pounder and signed him to a $1 million contract. Jones, a Marketing major who owns an investment firm, Amaroq, is a former Pro Bowl selection who ranks in the top 20 on the NFL's all-time quarterback sack list. DARIN JORDAN (1984-87) A linebacker, defensive end, and special teams force, Darin Jordan has earned football credentials with the Huskies (Class of 1988), Pittsburgh Steelers and the San Francisco Forty-Niners for whom he played in Super Bowl XXIX. A two-time, Associated Press All-New England selection with the Huskies, he was picked by the Steelers in the June 1988 draft and played four seasons in Pittsburgh. He was the Husky MVP and honorable mention All-America in 1987. Jordan finished his NU career with 24.5 sacks and 207 tackles. DAN ROSS (1975-78) Dan Ross set every Northeastern and New England record for pass receptions and received the prestigious Bulger Lowe and Harry Agganis Awards as New England's finest football player in his senior year. The statuesque tight end was All-New England, All-East and All-America. Northeastern officially retired Ross's number, 84, after his final game. Ross went on to play 10 pro football seasons in the NFL and the USFL, earning All-Star distinction in both leagues. His most memorable game came in 1983 when he set a Super Bowl record with 11 receptions as his Cincinnati Bengals lost to the San Francisco Forty-Niners. SID WATSON (1951-54) It has been over 40 years since "Century" Sid Watson captained the 1954 Huskies, yet this media guide is still cluttered with his records. Playing in only 28 games and beginning his career as a guard/linebacker, it is a tribute to his greatness that his school record for points in a career, 191, stood until the 1997 season. He still holds the season mark for points with 74. After numerous long interception returns, Watson switched to fullback his sophomore year and quickly earned the nickname "Century" for his many 100-yard efforts. Watson went on to play four years of pro ball and recently retired as the athletics director at Bowdoin College. KEITH WILLIS (1977-81) Signed as a free agent to Chuck knoll's Pittsburgh Steelers in 1982, Keith Willis co-captained Northeastern's 1981 team as a defensive end. He played in nine NFL games of a strike-shortened 1982 season, and then broke a club record with 14 sacks as a second-year pro. Willis was one of the NFL's most consistent defenders in a 10-year career with the Steelers, for who he starred in three consecutive playoff appearances. He signed with the Buffalo Bills in 1992 and subsequently played the 1993 season with the New York Jets. He retired after the 1994 season.
