Makes since that a guy from Shreveport would be aware of a guy from Ruston.

And they were 4 years apart in age, Terry was the "big man on campus" at Tech while Bert was in HS, and they played 10 years in the league together, which was a smaller, more exclusive club back then, particularly the QBs.

This reminds me of a particular time in history - at one point in the late 70s/early 80s, there was a shockingly high number of starting NFL QBs with some sort of Louisiana connection (either by birth, HS ball and/or college ball) - Bradshaw, Bert Jones, Joe Ferguson, Doug Williams, Woodley (his one year at Miami), and I think there were a few more on the list - amazing considering Louisiana has never been more than a point and a half of the overall U.S. population.

Sense Ruston is near Monroe, not Shreveport?
