Kapp was the head coach when the Cal Bears won that wild multi lateral game against Stanford in “82” where the band ran on the field because they thought the game was over.
I’m sure you know this, he was the first Mexican American NFL player, who’s 7 TDs in a game stood alone until Opie (Payton Manning) matched it with Denver. One more thing on him, he has Alzheimer’s now.
I have thought for sometime that Tim Tebow is a modern version of Lapp. They both tossed ugly ducks but would run you over if they has to to get some yards or a TD. Tebow would be in the Hall of Fame if he played in the 60’s.
Yes, I remember Joe well. I was a kid, barely 13 the year they went to their first SB. One of the Viking back up defensive players dated the English teacher I was in love with. LOL
I knew all of that, except that he now has Alzheimer’s. Sad news. I was only 11 when he won the NFL Championship. His name needs to be up with everyone else’s names. That and pull the roof off the new stadium before it gets any colder and they might make it this year...
