Extra Points Archive: Gesture For A Friend

Posted Sep 17, 2009
Steve Streater lived the heroic life in Chapel Hill during his time from 1977-80. He rocketed punts 45 yards downfield with 4.5 hang times. He laughed to the crowd returning punts and interceptions for touchdowns. He and Lawrence Taylor whipped all challengers in eight-ball at the Student Union and in cards at Ehringhaus Dorm. He screamed in his teammates' faces standing in the orange paint of the end zone that they would not, under any circumstance, allow Clemson to score a touchdown. (Tar Heel Blue)
