Louisiana Tech University and Terry Bradshaw have had ties since the NFL Hall of Fame quarterback lettered at the university in the late 1960s while setting single-season passing and total offense records for the Bulldogs.

On Monday, Bradshaw, the first player chosen in the 1970 NFL draft, passed along more than Tech could have ever expected.

Bradshaw, one of only two quarterbacks in NFL history to win four Super Bowls, donated several items back to his alma mater while in town for the Terry Bradshaw/Kix Brooks Golf Tournament fundraiser at Squire Creek Country Club.

The items included the former Pittsburgh Steelers’ four rings from Super Bowls IX, X, XIII and XIV, his College Football Hall of Fame ring, his Pro Football Hall of Fame ring, his Hall of Fame bust, four miniature replica Super Bowl trophies and a helmet and jersey from one of his Super Bowl victories.

“I don’t need (these things) to remind me of anything. I played in those games, and that’s all the memories I need,” Bradshaw said during an 11 a.m. press conference held at Squire Creek. “All of this [memorabilia] represents blood, sweat and tears throughout my career, and it’s nice to know that there is now a permanent home for it.”

Bradshaw, who received a degree in physical education from Tech in 1970 - the same year he was named first team Associated Press All-American - said he hopes the donation will elicit a greater sense of pride in the university.

“When (recruits), who think they have to go to the bigger schools like Notre Dame and LSU to be successful, visit this university, I want them to see that they can get a good education and great competition here, just like I did,” Bradshaw said. “My four years playing college football were by far the best in my entire athletic career, and I’m just so proud of Tech and the fact that I spent those years here.”

Bradshaw said that although he’s never been good at looking back at the past, he will forever cherish his years as a Bulldog.

He looks old now. Especially with that beard.

“I’ve always felt that when one door is closed, you have to move on to the next chapter in your life,” Bradshaw said. “But being at Tech is something I have and will always be proud of. This university allowed me to grow as an individual and learn that things aren’t just given to you in life.”

So basically Terry donated everything important about his entire football career to his alma mater. He must have really really really liked it there. Do you think he saved ANYTHING to remember football by? Any of his teeth that got knocked out or anything?

I don't know if I would donate any major lifetime achivement awards to Carnegie Mellon. I've always had this idea in the back of my mind, ever since I was a freshman, to donate a giant statue fountain of me with Yuengling spouting out of my mouth. That would be rad.

He must really mean this:

It's only a game by Terry Bradshaw
