His jersey was originally retired in 1970 but was re-issued over the years. Bah was an All-American in 1969 and played for the Cougars from 1967-70. Bah was a captain in 1970 and voted Most Valuable Player that same year. He was a two year All-Conference performer as a receiver.
 
During his career he had 90 catches, 1,688 yards and 11 touchdowns. He was also a great kick and punt returner with 989 career punt return yards and 861 kickoff return yards. Against Bethel he had a 96 yard kickoff return. He also had a 70 yard punt return against Michigan Tech. In 1967 he averaged 24.7 yards per punt return and 32.8 yards per kickoff return.
 
There is now a display outside of the football office in the P.E. Center to recognize Bah.
