No. Trudeau was much older than that. The original character, B.D. used to wear a football helmet all the time. That was Brian Downing, captain of the team my senior year. Trudeau also featured John Kerry, who was '66. I had the pleasure (?) of debating Kerry, once.

Yes, I was '64. I'm going to a reunion this year. I hope my classmates have not all gotten so bald and fat that they don't recognize me. LOL.

John, Dowling was '69. I was a freshman when he was G-d for Yale football. Take that to the bank.

As for Trudeau's year, I'll take the OCD's word for it:

1970

Or the St. Petersburg Times:

Harvard-Yale games, which mentions Dowling's senior year and the infamous 29-29 tie.

Or, Britannica Online. Or, AYA (although I wouldn't give those clowns any hits, personal reasons).
