Gussie Busch from St Louis, MO is on our roster as a LB. Can't help wondering if he is related to the Busch family that began/has run Annheuser Busch, based in St Louis.

I think I recall that August Busch - shortened to Gussie- has been a family name for several generations.

Any insight from the more informed?

Could be a case of corporate espionage - Bud really needs a new process for that horse, er, that stuff they call beer.

But if young Gussie ever carries the ball for 'Bama, will Eli Gold intone that "Busssssch runs as smooth as his name?"

I believe this is the kid's father.

Spent three years living across the street from Grant's Farm, the family's south St. Louis estate. It was filled with all kinds of exotic animals and had a veritable German castle as a home. Tours daily during the summer. Antelopes and gazelles for the kids. Free beer for the parents. Popular spot.

The school, a very exclusive one, is in the same part of the burbs where the above Busch lived. Nickname: The Rebels.

Grew up in STL and with a name like Gussie Busch. I have no doubt he is related. FWIW, as CrimsonEyeShade mentioned, Grants Farm is a neat spot! Can't beat free beer!
