My roomate in college was from that Carter team. He was also a LB. Armstead called alot. I remember ND was ranked number one, they had Rocket and Armstead called the day of the game, he was pretty damn nervous. Miami won though.
That Carter team had it's state championship stripped over an ineligible player, my roomate still had his medal and said they'd never get it from him. He was a really good guy Armstead also seemed like a nice guy, voice was hard though. They knew about the robberies kept trying to tell those guys they were blowing it, Buck said the guys that did it all came from decent homes, had cars, no money problems etc. Said they did it because of the thrill he guessed.
I also remember Armstead got like "laundry money" and had several phone cards at his disposal compliments of the "U". This was when long distance was still pretty damn expensive and the "laundry Money" was pretty significant like 100 to 150 a week.
