Good god, what were his college measurements? Looks like a grown man at a HS game

His was listed at 6'2" 210 lbs in his college playing days, but I suspect he was close to 220 by his senior year.

Jesus gawd that video is faded as is the #44 jersey that has been displayed in Schoellkopf Hall forever. Time for a replacement that is is color corrected. It makes him look ancient. Except, right, it was a half-century ago. Sorry.

It would have been better if the subject line read:

... gave me a start at first.

With his size, Marinaro bowled over a lot of Ivy League defenders. This was replicated by Douglas Murray '03 every time Murray threw a check.

A friend who collects baseball card, but also has some other sports cards from his childhood, gave me an Ed Marino card from 1974, his second season with the Vikings. He is listed as being 6-2, 210 pounds. The card says that he majored in Hotel Administration, and set 17 NCAA records at Cornell, including most yards gained in a career (4,715). It also notes that he had 40 carries for 281 yards and 5 TDs in a game against Harvard. He wore No. 49 for the Vikings. Chuck Foreman, the Vikings' star running back, wore Nø. 44, so Ed had to settle for a different number.
