Back in 1984 one of Ned Bolcar's visits was BC. He was very impressed with coach Jack Bicknell. He

liked the guys on the BC defensive unit. They proudly called themselves The Ratwings. He also visited Ohio State, Pitt and Penn State. Most people thought that his decision came down to ND and PSU. Not so! He chose ND but he really liked BC. The campus, Coach Bicknell and the guys on the team. He was almost an Eagle.
