Eric was an animal , but not the type to bar fight
I heard some stories ....
I had a buddy, one of "those dudes" that was strong but just a regular sized guy, got in fights at Sports and the Bengal all the time. I swear he went to bars to fight, like we went to drink. Some lineman in Sports bodyslammed him onto a pool table once.

Art Cantrelle sounds like a thug piece of shite

Duhon from church point/Opelousas area. Was a LB that quit team to go ride/wrestle bulls. Was one of the best in the world. Cantrell could not hold his jock strap. Ask around

Will keep repeating this story : one afternoon, the EBRPSO by The Keg got a call that Cantrell was raising hell there. My friend, a John Candy clone, was a rookie deputy & when the other 4 deputies turned & left the building, he volunteered to see what the problem was. Art was playing the pinball machine...they paid off back then...and when my friend announced himself, Cantrell turned, holding the machine up in the air. As he started approaching my friend, he started swinging the machine like a weapon. My friend eased himself back out of the room. Art put the machine on the floor & continued playing. All the guys mentioned here were tough as hell & quite possibly could knock Art on his arse. But he would get back up, again & again.

Cantrell once allegedly took care of business in a hail of fisticuffs at an establishment known as The Keg.
A former patron of the Keg said that Art lifted a pinball machine and hurled it at four deputies who were approaching him with batons and wearing head gear.
Sorry, but the pinball machine story is apocryphal. Those old “biffer” machines of the time (eventually outlawed as “gambling devices”) weighed about 900 pounds.quote:
Jesus. This man was a savage.
Cantrelle was big, strong, fast, and psychotic.
In the Keg incident, he was accosted at the bar, around 3:00 in the afternoon, by two LEOs. He was having none of it.
It took him about twenty seconds to disable them both, and leave them semiconscious on the floor. He then walked to the bar, drained the last quarter of his mug of draft, and walked -- briskly -- out the door.
Now, this was not his “first rodeo” -- the police already knew who he was.
I expect that there was some discreet back-and-forth with elements of the Athletic Department, and accommodations made.
But although there was a room full of witnesses, AFAIK the incident never actually made the news.
Today ?? Cantrelle would "go away" for a very long time.

I've never actually heard what happened when the basketball team and the football team had a Free-for-all in Broussard Hall.
I've heard Shaq, Anthony Marshall and Shawn King were involved, but I am curious to know if anyone knows what happened.

The second was Michael Brooks. Michael Brooks was minding his own business and two guys messed with him at the Bengal. He took the two of them, who thought they were bad asses, and threw them through stalls. Then the bouncers came and try just up to them him and he threw down like rag dolls. These were not small guys. He walked out.
My dad got his arse whipped by Michael Brooks one night.
My dad played ball at LA Tech, isn’t a necessarily small guy. As he puts it, he’s big enough that people won’t look at him and say “he’s too small to frick with” but not big enough to really intimidate someone based on size. Basically the same size as Art Cantrelle. So dad got in a lot of fights during his college days and from everything that I’ve heard from different folks was that pretty much everyone chose extremely poorly whenever they got in a fight with him.
So one night him and some of his buddies were out, drinking, in Ruston where Brooks is from. They stop off at a gas station and one of his buddies and Brooks start talking shite to each other. Dad walks up to Brooks, not knowing who he is (not that it’d have mattered to my dad anyway) and Brooks looks at my dad and says “wtf you gonna do?” Dad said he never said a word, just reared back and hit him with the squarest, most pure punch he’s ever hit anybody with. Right in the chin.
Only to have Brooks flinch a little bit and just eat the punch. Dad said that Brooks grabbed him and twisted his arse in a pretzel and went to town on his arse.
Sometimes, you’re the one that chooses poorly in that scene.

Never heard about Atiyeh being a fighter but if a 190lb guy can hit hard and is a world-class wrestler, you're in deep shite in just about any kind of bar fight situation with him.

Not trying to compare anyone, but I wouldn’t want to mess with Albert Belle in a fight.
