I wondered the same when I saw he played QB at La Tech. He is not related, but Phil, head of the DD, was one of the best La Tech QBs ever. Would have kept Terry Bradshaw on the bench one more year if he had stayed his Senior season. Last game of his Junior year he told Bradshaw, " Boomer, it's all yours next year. You can go for the bucks, I'm going for the ducks"
