I just found out that Tom Perticone passed away earlier this year (back in January). He was a defensive back in the late 70's for ISU. He was kind of famous for putting a huge hit on Thomas Lott of OU. Anyway, I found out only today so thought some of you would like to know if you remember Tom.
Thanks, as I had missed that.Quote:

I remember that hit! That was the hardest hit I have ever seen at the Jack! My brother said he was the same at practice also, very high intensity.Quote:

Sorry to hear about that
I too remember that hit! WOW! was all I could say!
RIP - You like so many others will be missed!
I was there that day...but was very young. I think that was my first WOW!!! moment as a Cyclone fan. The helmet went flying, bells were rung, and Lott had a holy crap look on his stunned face. Perticone was a huge hitter...and that was a great team. I'd love to see some updates on how some of those players are doing these days...especially Stanley and Hardeman, our two awesome QB's from that team.
Really saddens me that he passed away.
I was a friend of Tom Boskey, after he graduated and started selling feminine hygiene products for P & G in the Des Moines market. Was hard to believe a tough football player was selling Tampax, but he did. Remember he moved to the southern states as his wife was a swimming coach as I recall. Great guy and a great CYCLONE. Last i heard, he was in Sioux Falls, working for john MorrellQuote:
