Kiyoat Husker Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 from the article^^^^ Yes, Bobby Diaco drove a motorcycle. And he had an Italian cappuccino machine in their dorm. He'd make his guests cappuccinos and he'd listen to Sinatra or Luciano Pavarotti. And yes, Bobby Diaco did wear suits to class. Sometimes. Other times he'd wear Sergio Tacchinitrack suits. And he had a cellphone in the early 90s. Size of an umbrella, Romano recalled. So he'd wear his suits and lug this giant phone and, as Romano put it, "people must have thought he was really important." When teammates came to his dorm to play John Madden on the old Nintendo, Diaco would prepare Italian meats and cheeses -- sent from his family in New Jersey -- for the group. Sometimes he'd sit on the couch with Slutzker and laugh at "Ren and Stimpy" for hours. One time the guys down the hall, a pair of offensive lineman, bought a piranha for their dorm. So Diaco decided he'd buy a three-foot Savannah monitor lizard. But it was Diaco's ability, and perhaps his desire, to connect with every player that earned him respect. "It's not necessarily the case where we grew up, but in a lot of places, the black guys and the white guys didn't always get along or cohabitate or become close friends," Slutzker said. "That wasn't case (at Iowa), and Bobby was a big part of that." 1 Quote Link to comment
famoustitles Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I was thinking of starting a new thread with this, but decided against it. Mods, you can split this off if you want.... I found an article from the Connecticut Post from three years ago that is a collection of stories from his teammates at Iowa. It's a great read, and Ill provide a few quotes. Here's the article: http://www.ctpost.com/uconn/article/Kevin-Duffy-Iowa-teammates-remember-Bobby-5678927.php Also, he led Iowa in Tackles in 1994 and 1995, with 334 career tackles. He was two-time all Big Ten, and team MVP in 1995. Diaco's a Sinatra guy? Fire him immediately please Diaco's a Sinatra guy? Give him a raise immediately please 1 Quote Link to comment

mnhusker Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I love the huge shoulder pads the guys used to put on. I'd love to see a team gear up in 'em today and head out onto the field. Quote Link to comment

Lil' Red Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Fun Fact: Riley has been coaching for as long as Diaco has been alive. Not quite. Riley was still a player at Bama when Diaco was born. 2 Quote Link to comment
spurs1990 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Damon Benning has put a pretty good line out for this one. Over/Under 6k by midnight? Quote Link to comment
