For you youngsters out there: #53 was one of LSU’s most fearsome LBs.
Some of the best “football smarts” to ever play for our Tigers.
1963 Draft: Detroit. The [then Baltimore] Colts wanted him, went after him, and made the deal w/ the Lions in 1965.
6’ 2” / 232 -- that’s a pretty decent size, even today.
In 1963, that was BIG.
And he was fast, too (although, sadly, not fast enough to catch Matt Snell before the goal line in Super Bowl 3).
After 1962 Orange Bowl LSU 25 Colorado 7 (Dietzel's last game, IIRC) --
#14 = QB (and later, sports agent) Jimmy Field:
SI Cover 1965:
vs Jim Taylor 1965 Playoffs:
w/ Bill Curry 1967 (the SAME Bill Curry who outcoached Mike Archer in 1987 vs Gumps, and ruined LSU’s NC hopes that year -- it was LSU’s only loss that season; Gumps went 7-4 & lost to Michigan in the HoF Bowl).
LIFE Magazine cover, 1968:
Super Bowl 3 -- January 12, 1969:

Thanks for those memories. Pictures are awesome!

I wish there were more pix of him during his LSU days -- media hype was practically nonexistent, compared to today.
One of the greatest Tigers to ever wear the uniform, and practically nobody remembers.
He’s 78, now.
Anybody who’ll be in TS tomorrow night, try to show some some extra appreciation . . .

The first thing I thought of when I saw he was coming was that Ogden Nash poem....

Outstanding. Thanks for putting that together. Before my time, but I love the history.

Before my time but I pride myself on knowing a lot about LSU football history and I don't think I have ever heard of him.

One of the best posts I’ve seen on TD.
