  • Mallory Men Bullet Points
    Mallory Men Bullet Points To: Loyal Mallory Men From: Andy Curtin RE: Letters of Recommendation for Bill Mallory’s Candidacy for College Football Hall of Fame My name is Andy Curtin. I created and ran the Legends Poll for 10 years from 2005 through 2014. We had 23 retired coaches participate over those years. Of this group 21 are in the HOF. Bill Mallory was a charter member and served all 10 years as a voter in the Legends Poll. The roster of Legends Poll coaches is stunning in its composition. Bobby Bowden, Tom Osborne, Frank Broyles, John Cooper, Fisher DeBerry, Bo Schembechler, Terry Donahue, Vince Dooley, Pat Dye, LaVell Edwards, Don James, Hayden Fry, John Ralston, Dick MacPherson, Don Nehlen, John Robinson, Bill Snyder, R.C. Slocum, Gene Stallings, George Welsh, Frank Kush, Bobby Ross…and Bill Mallory. Bobby Ross and Bill are the two non-HOF coaches. Everyone of our Legends Poll coaches believe Bill Mallory belongs in the HOF. However, since 2010 no coach has been granted a waiver for eligibility from the 60% winning percentage minimum rule, despite the fact that there are 31 non-60% coaches in the HOF with over 200 coaches enshrined there. I have been lobbying for Bill for over 4 years now to have the National Football Foundation reinstate the waiver procedure. I believe we have our best chance now because I have created an Index called the Curtin Coach Index (CCI) which I have provided to you herewith. It awards points to coaches for playing Top 25, Top 10 and Top 5 teams and is then averaged by years of service.

  • Fighting Illini Football History
    HISTORY FIGHTING ILLINI HISTORY ILLINOIS NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP TEAMS 1914 Possibly the most dominant team in Illinois football history was the 1914 squad. The squad was only coach Robert Zuppke’s second at Illinois and would be the first of four national championship teams he would lead in his 29 years at Illinois. The Fighting Illini defense shut out four of its seven opponents, yielding only 22 points the entire 1914 season, and the averaged up an incredible 32 points per game, in cluding a 51-0 shellacking of Indiana on Oct. 10. This team was so good that no one scored a point against them until Oct. 31, the fifth game of the seven-game season. The closest game of the year, two weeks later, wasn’t very close at all, a 21-7 home decision over Chicago. Leading the way for Zuppke’s troops was right halfback Bart Macomber. He led the team in scoring. Left guard Ralph Chapman was named to Walter Camp’s first-team All-America squad, while left halfback Harold Pogue, the team’s second-leading scorer, was named to Camp’s second team. 1919 The 1919 team was the only one of Zuppke’s national cham pi on ship squads to lose a game. Wisconsin managed to de feat the Fighting Illini in Urbana in the third game of the season, 14-10, to tem porarily knock Illinois out of the conference lead. However, Zuppke’s men came back from the Wisconsin defeat with three consecutive wins to set up a showdown with the Buckeyes at Ohio Stadium on Nov.

  • Local Star Woodson Named to College Football Hall of Fame Fremont Ross Legend to Be Inducted with Class of 2018 in New York on Dec
    COLLEGE FOOTBALL January 9, 2018 Local star Woodson named to College Football Hall of Fame Fremont Ross legend to be inducted with Class of 2018 in New York on Dec. 4 Staff report ATLANTA - The National Football Foundation (NFF) and College Hall of Fame on Monday announced the 2018 College Football Hall of Fame Class, led by Fremont Ross and University of Michigan standout Charles Woodson. A total of 10 First Team All-America players and three standout coaches were selected from the national ballot of 75 players and six coaches from the Football Bowl Subdivision and the 98 players and 31 coaches from the divisional ranks. Woodson, the All-America defensive back at Michigan from 1995-97, was surprised on camera a day earlier while working as an NFL analyst on “Sunday NFL Countdown” when Sam Ponder, host of the ESPN program, handed him a commemorative football provided by the NFF to mark the occasion. The rest of the 2018 College Football Hall of Fame Class were announced Monday morning during “SportsCenter” on ESPN at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, site of Monday night’s College Football Playoff National Championship. Woodson, the only primarily defensive player to ever win the Heisman Trophy, guided Michigan to a national championship during one of the best careers in college football history. He becomes the 31st Wolverine player to be inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame.
