Story on the 1985 San Antonio Gunslingers team that played for free.

Putt Choate, one of the captains of that team is quoted a few times in the story.

I've seen that name on the board. I believe he's a former Mustang.

Thanks. Seveal Mustangs played a little in the USFL. Craig James, Mike Ford, Lee Spivey, Bob Fisher and Putt Choate. There may be others but those are the ones I remember.
