Can you imagine losing three Rose
Bowls, an Orange Bowl and a Super
Bowl all in one career? Well this
dubious distinction belongs to Miami
Dolphin offensive lineman Jon Geisler.
This feat is more an anomaly than an
indication of an inability to win. While
Geisler played for the Wolverines from
1974-1978, Michigan was 38-8 overall
and lost only four Big Ten contests.

Today Geisler is playing next to 14-year
offensive line veteran Bob Keuchen-
burg on the powerful Miami Dolphins.
"I THOUGHT I had it made when we
walked into the home team locker room
in Pasadena before the Super Bowl,"
said the 6-4, 254-pound offensive guard.
Geisler and the Wolverines had dressed
in the visiting team side before their
three consecutive Rose Bowl losses
(1977-79). "We could never seem to
achieve the intensity of the Ohio State
game," he explained.

But Geisler's career itself has been
intense. He entered his junior year at
Michigan with no pro aspirations at all,
but by the end of the season "people
just knew he was good," said Michigan
line coach Paul Schudel. Between his
junior and senior years, Geisler
developed "the maturity and all the
things necessary to be a good lineman.
He kept getting better and better and
better," said Schudel. He was drafted
seventh in the first round by the
Dolphins in 1979 and has protected
quarterbacks ever since.
Geisler learned quickly what it took
to succeed in the NFL. He recalled the
first game of his second year, when he
was forced to start even with a serious
shoulder injury. "I could barely bench
press 200 pounds after my operation,
but I had to play anyway," he said.
"We had a game against the New York
Jets and I will never forget what Joe
Klecko can do." Geisler has done a lot
better since and he reports that playing
in the pros has been nothing but hard
work.
THE OFFENSIVE LINE has always
been one of the least-heralded positions
in football, according to Geisler. "You
only get publicity when you do
something wrong" but "when we spring
a long touchdown run and keep the
quarterback from being sacked we get

a lot of satisfaction from it."
The Dolphins have certainly done a
good job in this department. Last year
the Miami line allowed the least QB
sacks in the NFL, and the success of
Dolphin rookie phenom Dan Marino
this year helps prove the point.
"I've grown up with football," said
Geisler. "It's awfully nice to be paid
for it."

... tough luck in Pasadena
In the off-season, Geisler hopes to be
paid for the real estate business that he
and his wife Lori are trying to start in
the Ft. Lauderdale area. The couple
married in 1978 while Geisler was still
at Michigan and has one daughter,
Kristen, who was born in December of
1981.
"When she sees football she already
knows to look for her daddy on TV,"
Geisler said proudly of his daughter.
And you can bet that Kristen Geisler
wants to see Daddy win a Super Bowl.

All-Big Ten
From staff and wire service reports
Just as in the regular season,
Michigan finished second to Illinois in
placing players on the 1983 Associated
Press All-Big Ten team. The
Wolverines had five first team selec-
tions to the Illini's six.
Wolverine offensive linemen Tom
Dixon and Stefan Humphries were both
repeat selections, while noseguard Al
Sincich was one of only three juniors on
the team.
Ohio State's Keith Byars was the only
unanimous selection to the team,
although Humphries missed that honor
by just one vote.'
