Some of the "not so experienced" visitors to the ND GO IRISH BLOG might not remember All-American linebacker Bob Crable. He played for Gerry Faust at Archbishop Moeller High School, winning three state championships -- before moving on to Notre Dame where he was recruited by Dan Devine. Crable played for Devine for one season before his former high school coach (Faust) became his head coach at Notre Dame.
The photo is of Bob (#43) blocking a kick against Michigan. Bob earned All-American honors his junior and senior seasons at Notre Dame and was selected in the first round of the 1982 NFL Draft by the New York Jets. He played seven seasons for the Jets before a knee injury ended his career. Crable went on to start his own sportswear company, in his hometown of Cincinnati, before selling it and returning to his alma-mater (Moeller High School) to teach and coach. Bob was recently the guest speaker at Notre Dame High School in Utica, NY -- for the school's 50th Anniversary. A Utica, NY television station caught up with Crable -- see the link below:
