45. Dave Wilcox (Part One): The Intimidator


Listen Later

Toughness. Grittiness. Oregon Strong. Those are some of the words that describe Oregon great and NFL Hall of Famer Dave Wilcox. From Willow Creek, Oregon, Wilcox came from a family of athletes that realized early on that football was going to be their way to college. For Wilcox, who brought his rural, winning mentality to Eugene and helped the Ducks to their first bowl game in 47 years at the 1963 Sun Bowl, the recipe for his success started early in his career. Preparation and a will to win. Although the game of football today is physical by nature, some say that the game back when Wilcox played was built on fear. And intimidation. And no one personified that role more than Wilcox, who actually earned the nickname, The Intimidator. Wilcox doesn’t know exactly where it came from, but he has an idea of the reasoning behind it.

This is the first of two episodes with longtime Voice of the Ducks Jerry Allen and Dave Wilcox.
