Fun fact about Marv Levy

[Dan Darragh]

Did you know that Marv got recruited to Wyoming as a defensive back? He attended Wyoming for one semester before transferring to Coe because the coach who recruited him to Wyo left and he couldn't stand the new coach.

 

So the Wyo-Buf connection has deeper roots than I had realized.

That is a wild fact. Glad that the Marv era Bills and today’s team have one more thing in common. Thanks for posting.

I've been to Yellowstone several times.  Never seen this specific sign but have seen other warning signs.

Hard for me to imagine anyone that Marv can't get along with.  The replacement coach must have been an 'over-officious jerk'.

Is there an interview or transcript available?  Never can get enough Marv Levy.

 

Marv Levy was supposed to be our guest of honor at our annual tailgate;  then COVID situation ruined it and he was not travelling - Marv did not have COVID.

I sometimes handle guests (agents contact me); Andre is one I brought in.

Levy originally was recruited to play football at Wyoming. He lasted one semester.

"It was 24 hours a day," he said. "You'd come back and look at film, do this, do that. There was no time to study."

A high school teammate, Dudley Simpson, sold Levy on Coe, telling him he could play sports and still have time to be a good student.
