Good column, Mark. Not sure how many fans in the Mill Avenue crowd actually remember Kush. But the legendary name has surely re-surfaced because of the historical parallel that the Peach Bowl represents. It was 1970, ASU's coming out party in a victory over North Carolina in the sleet and snow. Kush could have been Wyatt Earp in those days. They named a mountain after him long before they ever named a field in his name. Not sure anybody is going to name a mountain after Dillingham. Not yet, anyway. But he's got that Kush persona.
I was at that Peach Bowl working for the UNC paper. Haven't forgotten how the field tilted when the Sun Devils came out. Their MVP that year was Monroe Eley, from Rocky Mount, NC.
Another excellent piece. I think that was targeting for sure. It should've been called. I also think if the officials don't throw a flag, the booth shouldn't review. In this case, there were two mistakes that did not equal a correction. That math shouldn't decide a game.
FYI: OSU qb is Will Howard. Matt Howard played bball for Butler. Great column as usual.
Thanks. I"ve made that mistake before.
