Montana Tech Athletics

William "Bill" Tiddy enters the hall of fame as a Legacy member playing football for the Orediggers from 1958-1961. Tiddy was an iron man for Tech playing on both the offensive and defensive lines as well as kicker playing all 60 minutes of almost every game during his career.
 
Tiddy's teams may not have been the most successful under head coach Ed Simonich, but he was part of the team that earned a tie during the Orediggers 44-game losing streak that ended in 1962. Tech tied Carroll College 0-0 in 1960. The 1961 co-captain was the center and called the plays on defense from the middle linebacker position. Tiddy was selected second team all-conference in 1960 and an honorable mention all-conference offensive lineman in 1961. Tiddy received the first ever team MVP award which later became the Ed Simonich Award.
 
Tiddy graduated in 1963 with a degree in Metallurgical Engineering.
