  • Ron Kramer: All-American
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 26, No. 1 (2004) Ron Kramer, All-American: Michigan Legend, Packer Great, Lion Hero By Jim Sargent Ronald John Kramer, one of the greatest athletes in the tradition-rich history of the University of Michigan, enjoyed a stellar career as the prototype tight end for several great Green Bay Packer teams during the Vince Lombardi era and for Kramer’s home state Detroit Lions. Total Football (1997) listed him as one of the 300 greatest players in the game’s history. A member of the College Football Hall of Fame, Ron is one of a handful of Michigan heroes—including halfback Tom Harmon and former President and center Gerald Ford—who have had their maize and blue jerseys retired. Kramer, who stood 6’ 3 ½” and weighed 220 as a senior in college, was an all-around athlete at Michigan. Competing from 1954 through 1957, he earned recognition as a football All-American in his junior and senior years, as MVP and top scorer on the Wolverine basketball team for three straight seasons, and as the team’s best shot putter and high jumper in track. In fact, big Ron is the last nine-letter performer at U-M. The Green Bay Packers, then a doormat in the National Football League, drafted Kramer first in 1957. The Packers also had a “bonus” choice, and they used it to select Notre Dame All-American back Paul Hornung. After coach Vince Lombardi joined Green Bay in 1959, he transformed the franchise, turning the Packers into an NFL powerhouse in the 1960s.

  • Lou Rymkus – “The Battler”
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 21, No. 3 (1999) Lou Rymkus – “The Battler” By Kevin Carroll On January 3, 1960, Bud Adams hired 40-year-old Lou Rymkus as the first head coach of the Houston Oilers. The son of Lithuanian immigrants, Rymkus grew up in the coal-mining town of Royalton, Illinois, where people were a tough breed accustomed to hard work. One of the toughest was Lou Rymkus. In 1934 the Depression forced the Royalton mines to close. UnempIoyed, his mother, widowed when Rymkus was seven, moved with her two sons to Chicago, where she worked in the city's stockyards while Rymkus did manual labor jobs on the south side. Rymkus attended Chicago's Tilden Tech High School where he excelled in football and wrestling. His gridiron talent caught the eve of Notre Dame coach Elmer Layden and, in 1939, Rymkus departed for South Bend on a football scholarship. In 1941 Frank Leahy succeeded Layden as the Irish head coach. Under the tutelage of Assistant Coach Johnny Druze, Rymkus mastered pass blocking and tackling. The 6-foot-4-inch, 240-pound tackle soon became a force to be reckoned with. In a bitterly contested Georgia Tech game that year, Rymkus substituted for Captain Paul Lillis, who was sidelined by a concussion. Shortly before halftime, Rymkus was gashed in the upper lip by an elbow. With blood running down his chin and soaking his jersey front, Rymkus went to the sidelines only long enough to receive 14 stitches to close the wound. Aided by Rymkus' blocking and relentless defensive play, the Irish defeated Tech 20 to 0.
