Ran against Stacy in early 80's while at SDSU. Bought his autograped helmet last year on the silent auction.

Thanks...just wrote a message in his guestbook.

Received bad news from the Alumni Association. Stacy was doing very well, but it has since changed and he is now under Hospice care. Very sad. A true gentleman.

Very sad news, before my time but sounded like a great football player and a better man. Bison lost a good one today. Prayers and thoughts to his family and loved ones during this difficult time.

Bison hall of fame. Won 2 super bowl with the giants. Solid 6 year NFL career... highpick taken in the 2nd round. Still owns a few track records at NDSU. Insanely fast. Once caught 3 TD passes in a quarter in an 86 game vs the Niners after trailing17-0 at half. Very important game helped win division. Highlight catch at about the 2 minute mark http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5L1fT8LHTCU

Thats correct.

Sad news. Stacy Robinson was one of NDSU's best. Heck, he was just one of the best, period.

[KSBisonFan]

Sad day for all Stacy's fans. Enjoyed watching him as a Bison and as a Giant. RIP.

[IzzyFlexion]

Great sense of humor, always respectful, and one of the most incredible athletes I've ever seen.
This is a sad day for all left behind. But, Stacy was a man of faith and I'm confident that he is at peace.

Very sad to hear about Stacy, he was a great player and great guy, I lived across the hall from him in the basement of Churchill Hall when I was a freshman. I have a number of good memories of him personally and of him of as a tremendous NDSU athlete.

[tcbison]

Stacy Robinson for me was the first NDSU player I watched in the NFL. It was pretty awesome seeing him winning two Super Bowls. The Forum article talked about how Stacy Robinson and Tyrone Braxton would compete in practice. I wish I could have seen that!

[cbline]

Loved watching Stacy turning on the burners and streaking down the sidelines on pass patterns.

[Bison03]

Being a 30 something Bison fan, the "legends" of Bison football to me were guys like Tyrone Braxton, Jeff Bentrim, and Stacy Robinson. I also remember watching him in the NFL and thinking how cool that was that Bison was in the big time. Bison Nation mourns the loss off of not just a great player but a great man as well. Thoughts ans prayers go out to his family and friends.

[HoopsBison]

Really nice article from the New York Giants website about Stacy.

I remember as a kid playing tecmo bowl on the first Nintendo and thinking it was so cool to have an NDSU player on the game, I racked up some pretty good stats for Stacy on that game

[NFH Schlüssel]

A kind, gentle soul... even allowed a freshman like me to hang out with him and be in on many of his quips.
He is certainly in a better place now. Hope his family finds comfort knowing he was loved by many.

I'm pretty sure it was the 1984 draft. Good story nonetheless.

[EagleBison]

One of the great ones. The QB would toss the ball out there looking like an overthrow, but Stacy would always catch up to it. I remember the other pitch, when Bentrim was getting tackled downfield, and pitched it to Stacy who finished it off for a TD.

RIP Stacy

[FormerEag]

Sorry to hear about the loss of a great ball player, and by all accounts great guy. Far too young. F#ck cancer.

[Bison-Knuckle]

No, it was 85
The man was a class act

[NorthernBison]

No, it was 85

That is correct. The only place I see 1984 is in the Bison Game program (Bison in the Pros). The NFL site says 1985 and his career stats start in 1985.

So, that means he played his last game as a Bison in the loss to Troy State unless he was injured. He must have been in Grad School because he graduated when I did in 1984. I believe he was the student who gave the Commencement Address.

I would have bet money he didn't play in 1984. Glad I didn't.

Submitted a brief article to BisonIllustrated.com remembering some of the accomplishments of Stacy Robinson: http://www.bisonillustrated.com/s.php?s=867

From Sports Illustrated's Peter King:

I think players like Stacy Robinson, who died of cancer Tuesday at 50, sometimes get lost because they weren't great players; Robinson caught 48 passes in six seasons as a New York Giant and won two Super Bowl rings with the team a generation ago.

I covered four of Robinson's six years as a beat writer. He was the burner the Giants drafted in the second round of the 1985 draft from North Dakota State, and even though he never became the great receiver the Giants might have hoped he would (would any receiver have starred in that offense?), I remember him as one of the best team players in that locker room, an intelligent player who understood his place in the offense and never chafed at being forgotten in game plan after game plan.

Phil Simms went to him three times for 62 yards in the Super Bowl win over Denver in January 1987. Game after game I recall sidling up to him to ask him about why successful plays unfolded the way they did, or why things didn't work, and he was unfailingly polite and helpful, with a deep knowledge of the game he cared so much about.

After his career ended, he worked with the players union to help smooth the path of players in post-career life -- he'd be a vital cog today in the wake of the Junior Seau death -- and when I ran into him he always talked about ways to improve transition from the field to life after football. What a good man Stacy Robinson was.

Article on Stacy and the work he had done to upgrade athletic facilities in St Paul

...Robinson, who helped steer a sizable donation from the National Football League toward the ball field improvements, had been invited to join 40 Jimmy Lee / Oxford Rec "alumni" at the reopening, which celebrates a seven-year effort to get the rec center and playing fields fully updated.
