[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 934541, member: 265"] I need to 'fess up here. I graduated from Sewanee and played football for a year under Shirley Majors (Johnny's dad) until my knee gave out. (None of this arthoscopic business in those days; you were expected to suck it up. I played out the year, then quit on doctor's advice.) The year before I played we were undefeated and nationally ranked. My frosh year we went 8 - 1 and were considered for the Grantland Rice bowl. (Since we would have played Tennessee A&I when they had Eldridge Dickey and Claude(!) Humphrey(!!), we were lucky to be rejected.) We lost 5 games in the next three years, playing either an 8 or 9 game schedule. Sewanee has two members in the National FHoF. I knew one of them, Bishop Frank Juhan who was probably the first LB in the country. He was playing DT and got tired, so he stood up. As he said, "All of a sudden, I noticed that I could; see what the other side was doing and made next 6 tackles. Then I got down again and the coaches yelled at me to stand back up." And has a winning record against Tech, btw; you can check. So, yeah, Sewanee used to be a real power in small college ball. Recently the program has fallen on bad times. Maybe Coach McCollum can pull them up by the bootstraps; it's happened before. Sooooooo … [B][SIZE=4][I]Good Luck Coach!! Down With the Heathen, Up With the Church![/I][/SIZE][/B] [/QUOTE]
