So who was the Head Coach when St Mary’s dropped football ?

Former Stanford stud running back and heir apparent to Darren Nelson, Vince White was the head coach.  He still holds the record for most receptions in a game with 14 (tied with Eric Cross, Brad Muster and Jim Price)

I had a nice interaction with Vince when I was at SCU.  My close friend was the school's social VP, so I worked all the concerts.  Vince, who was two years ahead of me, had a class at Stanford that involved working concerts.  At the time, SCU didn't have classes on Wednesdays on the theory that it was supposed to be a day dedicated to quiet, thoughtful contemplation, which I suppose it was if nursing a hangover = quiet, thoughtful contemplation.

Tuesday nights were party nights at SCU and Tuesdays offered a good midweek payday for some pretty terrific bands. At the time, there was a local SFBA club band called "Huey Lewis and the News," and their first big hit "Workin' for a Livin'" had just come out.  Vince and I and a few other Stanford and SCU students worked a variety of tasks around the concert.  Remember, to this point, the biggest crowds that had seen Huey Lewis were a few hundred people in a Bay Area club.  That night, there were 6,000 people in Toso Pavilion, and as HL&N launched into "Workin for a Livin" the crowd shook the roof.  Vince and I were sitting on the back of the stage, and an obviously delighted Huey turns around when the instrumental portion begins and screams at his drummer "can you fxxxing believe this?!?!"

Nice night, one of my better memories.  And Vince was a terrific guy. And I like him all the more because he's coaching football at Fordham, the SCU of the East...
