Help build the ultimate mountaineer (football)
My thoughts:
Brain: Oliver Luck
Heart: Bo Orlando
Eyes: Pat White
Chin: Sam Huff
Leadership: Jeff Hostetler
Arm: Marc Bulger
Hips: Major Harris
Strength: Brian Jozwiak
Calves: Jerry Porter
Toes: Willie Drewry
Tenacity: Chuck Howley
Hands: David Sauders
Thighs: Ron Wolfley
Feet: Steve Slaton
I struggled with what the best toes or calves meant. But I know Porter could leap out of the gym and Drewry could run a fine line on kick returns. But there are too many I had to leave off. Where do you stick the Mike Comptons, Aaron Beasleys and even Todd Sauerbrun and Mike Vanderjagt. How can you leave off Jim Braxton and and Chris' fav Canute Curtis. Difficulat to say the least.

Though I have a tough time arguing with Greg's picks, mine would be as follows:
Brain: Jed Drenning
Heart: Grant Wiley
Eyes: Pat White
Chin: Sam Huff
Leadership: Pat White
Arm: Marc Bulger
Hips: Major Harris
Strength: Owen Schmitt/Mark Megro
Calves: Jerry Porter
Toes: James Jett
Tenacity: Mike Lorello
Hands: Brandon Myles
Thighs: Quency Wilson
Feet: Steve Slaton
Although I do consider Jed a football genius, I was only considering those who at some point started. You have some real good ones in there. Wilson's thighs is definitely tough to argue. I also considered Schmidt and James Jett as well. Jet's feet couldn't make up for his hands of stone. Lorello had a great heart but Howley was all pro. And David Saunders owns every receiving record on the books. If he could run faster than a 4.8, he would have been all pro. Good picks though.
I'd like to add a category...Long term valuable player...and recommend Garret Ford (sr.). This man was a great player who made a barrier disappear and has contributed greatly to coaching, recruiting and matriculation.
Gregg: On your addition I think that you would have to add both Coach Rod and Jim Braxton in the mix for longevity contributions.
Pretty good second and third team suggestions ;-)
Rich is a "newbie" by comparison, and the late great Jim Braxton had relatively short term impact on team and campus. Danny Buggs probably fits better than those two.
