Weekend simulcast: Purdue's football legends celebrate the life of Leroy Keyes

Special guests are Mike Alstott, Akin Ayodele, Jim Bonk, coach Jim Colletto, Rosevelt Colvin, Marion Griffin, Don Kiepert, Mike Phipps, and Perry Williams.

The football connections on our guest list on this video are these: Leroy Keyes' was Alstott's position coach during Alstott's senior season (1995). Colletto, who was Purdue's head coach from 1991-96, hired Keyes as the position coach. Colvin, who was recruited by Colletto spent his freshman and sophomore seasons with Keyes on the sidelines. Colvin and Ayodele developed life-long friendships with Keyes grown from Keyes' mentorship during Colvin and Ayodele's playing days. Jim Bonk was an offensive lineman and blocked for Keyes in 1966 and '67, Kiepert and Phipps were the quarterbacks in Keyes junior and senior seasons (1967-68), Griffin was the tight end and Williams was Keyes' backfield mate.

But as you will discover when listening, football was just part of the story of the ties that bound Keyes to these former Boilermaker players.
