Simdorn
Walker
Hanson

Any all-time list of Bison players must start with Steve Nelson. Lists of linebacks that don't even include Nelson are nuts.

Rocky Hager's gotta be up there. He has glasses just like Teddy Roosevelt's.

Jeff Bentrim
Phil Hansen
Stacy Robinson
Tyrone Braxton

Way too many great players to list. It would be an injustice to even start a list knowing the players you would be leaving off.

I'll go Bentrim, Hansen, Nelson, and Simdorn.

Who would be YOUR 4 all-time football players on Mt. Bison? From 80s on I'd go:

Jeff Bentrim (THE face of Bison football)
Chris Simdorn
Phil Hanson
Tony Satter

These guys dominated the competition when they had the ball, or on the field (Phil).

*Unlike some schools, we would have many to choose from (Favor, Braxton, Dick, CAS, Gordon, etc.)

A solid list but where would Russ Yeager fit in?

I always love a good RY reference!

This.

Along KC's thoughts, I automatically discount any post that misses (or disses) the heyday of the sixties and the seventies. Or earlier.

Among the pre 80s coaches that deserve accolades: Gilmour Dobie, Darrell Mudra, Ron Erhart, and Jim Wacker. The athletes? Many more than have been noted in this thread.

In fact, the faces on a mountain may be best represented by the five Bison who have been elected to the College Football Hall of Fame:

Gilmour Dobie
Mike Favor
Joe Citchy
Darrell Mudra
Jeff Bentrim

I still believe Steve Nelson is deserving of this honor.

Research the history. There are some remarkable men who left a strong legacy to our program.
