Have had the pleasure of meeting him a few times at fundraising parties. Probably to this day still one of my favorite IU football players ever. He was the one who put us in rare air of national discussion. Always will be appreciative of guys like him. Last time I saw him (3-4 years ago when he first started in AD office) he looked as if he could still give it a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobSaccamanno Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 I played ball with Thompson one time in college. Very nice guy. Thompson was one of the top recruits in the country coming out of Terre Haute North. In fact, he may have been the top running back in the country. Al the big schools wanted him. He was a major, major get for Bill Mallory at the time, and he delivered. I think he deserved the Heisman over Andre Ware too in 1990. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kodos Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 I was a freshman in the fall of '89. Watching AT play was a real joy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
