50 GREATEST GOLDEN BEARS - #48 - HARVEY SALEM


#48 - Harvey Salem - Offensive Tackle (1979-1982)
Salem was thrust into Cal's starting lineup by coach Roger Theder as a freshman from El Cerrito High School. He never left, becoming one of the few four-year starters in Golden Bear history. Salem was voted Cal's top offensive lineman on three occasions, and was an all-Pac 10 selection in both his junior and senior years. After his senior campaign, in which Cal finished a surprising 7-4 under first-year coach Joe Kapp, Salem was named to the Sporting News' All-America first team and was also named a first-team academic All-American.

My favorite memory of Harvey Salem is from the aftermath of "The Play" against Stanford in 1982. When Kevin Moen took the ball into the end zone against Stanford, many Cal fans expected the play would somehow be overturned on a penalty. I was certainly one of them, and I watched the ensuing chaos on the field with great trepidation. Suddenly Harvey Salem, the two-year team captain, thrust the Axe high into the air, having received the word from officials that the play would stand. The cannon sounded, and Memorial Stadium erupted in joy.

Harvey Salem was drafted 19th overall by the Houston Oilers in 1983, and he played ten years in the NFL, most notably with Houston and the Denver Broncos. Today he is a football and track coach at Albany HS in the Bay Area.

Nice to see a local H.S. standout choose Cal and have a successful pro career. Go Bears.

Harvey coached me at Albany in 2003he is a good coach and a real cool laid back man. I didnt know about all of his accomplishments, till i looked him up online, he told us that he played in the at CAL and the NFL but never got into detail about how good his career was. Local Legend!

Harvey was drafted 30th overall in 1983. It's pretty cool that he was born in the Bay Area, went to college at Cal, and now works here after his football career has concluded.

I was 2nd team OT in '78 when Harvey was a lankey 225 pound redshirt and getting pretty beat up during practice, and even crying at least 1 time which I saw, maybe others. He certainly went a long way. I was a walk on senior, 2nd team, with only 1 yr of eligibility but if I had several more years I know could have done something almost similar :), but who knows? Psychologically unstable OL coach Bill Myers disliked me (though in a pep talk he said I won the Oregon or Oregon State game (I forget which) by my key blocks. Theder once accused me of selling pot to other teamates, I was almost sent home on a road trip for sneaking out for beer and a girl with big Don Hudson, and was put to beating up on the 1st team defense as punishment. I was known as a big hitter (some would say 'cheap shot') and Al Saunders liked something about me enough to let me be lead man on a kick off reverse and 2nd tight end against Stanford, but he made the mistake of not running the ball on my side enough. Once he came running and screaming across the practice field yelling how great my down field block was. Anyway, I kept working out after the season and wanted a free agent tryout with the 49rs or raiders but my collar bone broke on a girl's hip bone diving for a fly ball in softball and I ended up as a bouncer at Tar and Feathers in Walnut Creek where Center Dave Shaw was manager. I could say more if anyone is interested but I doubt if anyone is. BTW thanks for letting me share.... ;)

I forgot to say, I'm Darrell Wright, and I also forgot to say 1st team OT Craig Watkins didn't like me at all and even tried physical intimidation against me at the beginning of Fall practice - I think he had some fear I might take his place plus he was kind of pissed being moved from defense to offense. Unhappy guy, I never liked him either, but he did praise one double block i did during practice, so i guess i shouldn't be too critical. When he got injured they put in Mark Harmon who they were grooming for the next year, and i had no more eligibility. He wasn't too friendly with me either, and he was always talking in a weird pseudo-southern accent as a joke with Duke Leffler, kind of a dick too, which made me feel these guys had a different mentality from me. But who am I to judge? :0
