Luther blue
Well known to us elders but sure brings back memories. Smoked a doobie or two with him on a couple of occasions. He always claimed during those encounters (paraphrasing) that he wasn't that fast, he just hated getting tackled. He was fast and elusive.. Where did those 50 years go?

Edit to add:
Blue averaged 32.8 yards per KO return in "74 (second nationally)
Averaged 18.4 yds/catch during ISU career
1st team AA in 1976
Eppie Barney, RIP

Hearing Luther's name again reminded me of Eppie! Both WR's, both very unusual, cool names.

One of the all time great moments in Cyclone history. I would put Luther’s TD against Nebby up against any other great play,

Delayed reply, but I clicked the thread and this was an early comment.

I'm probably the only person outside of his family that has a framed picture of him. My girlfriend made me an Iowa State cave and got some old pictures from my mom. She had this one from when I went to the basketball camp in 2001. I was in 6th or 7th grade I think.

With the Lions being relevant in the NFL for the first time since the 1950's, it seems appropriate to mention one of ISU's receiving greats. No, I never saw him play, I'm just a history buff.
