Thanks for posting.

Wow, that is really neat. I knew Dr Dodd when I was in school. I had no idea.

That's a great article. It's amazing how we managed to have 4 great coaches at Mississippi State in those days (Bierman, McKeen, Royal, and Warmath) and have very little to show for it.

ETA: Missed Bierman, who went on to win 5 National Titles at Minnesota.

So is OU or UT his alma mater?

Article says he played for Wilkinson at OU, but later mentions UT as his alma mater.

My bad, Bobby, his alma mater is Oklahoma.... it's fixed. Need a job as an editor?

that's because they got the hell out as soon as they could maybe? We weren't exactly "all in" to a winning football program during those eras.

Yeah....that's kind of exactly my point.
