Your dad was of a generation that was lucky enough to have witnessed Duquesne as a national football power. Who knows where they would be today had not WW II have forced them out of their program. Buff Donelli had the Dukes set for a number of years.
Your post made me remember one of the greatest conversations I ever had with my father-in-law. His biggest joy in life was listening to games on the radio (baseball, football, etc) He was describing Brombaugh's pass as if he had been there. His eyes looked up as if he were actually still following the ball as he described it. As a devout catholic he always enjoyed describing how Duquesne beat big bad Pitt.
I guess that is why I enjoyed putting together my blog. To imagine how a small university that was really nothing more than a collection of row houses became (according to Massey at least) the best in the nation.
