Hacksaw Jim Duggan UK football letter from Kentucky Governor in 1973

Didnt realize that, was he a good player?

He transferred to UK from a JUCO. He was an early recruit of Stoops. He definitely got playing time. Played tight end. UK rarely threw to tight ends then.

I've told this story in the Paddock wrestling thread but my friend worked at a Long John Silvers back in his high school days in the late 70's. The restaurant was across the street from an old Armory building and sometimes when the wrestlers would come in to eat before the shows at the armory. He said Macho Man came in and got food once. Randy obviously hadn't made it big in the WWF yet but my friend said he talked in the same voice that he did when he got on the WWF. He said anytime he saw him on TV after that he always remembered him in full kayfabe mode ordering a Fish and More in that voice. 😂😂

"Give me a one more hush puppy, yeah"
"Long Johns is the cream of the crop, oh yeah"
