Bob Weiler '75 | Video Presentation
Weiler was a four-year starter on the offensive line as a guard and a center for the Catamounts. As a junior, he was named to the Yankee Conference Honorable Mention Team. As a senior, he was elected as the team's lone captain. Prior to the 1974 season, UVM had two captains – an offensive and defensive captain. The 1974 team also handed UMass, the eventual Yankee Conference regular season co-champion, its only league loss of the season. UMass had seven All-Conference players on the team, including defensive lineman and future Green Bay Packer Bill Cooke. Weiler helped the Green and Gold lead the conference in passing as a senior and the Cats had the third-highest rushing total as a junior.
