This newly revised edition is a compendium that spans the careers of more than two thousand players. Fans will sit at the 50- yard line and witness more than a century of football, including all the glorious victories, heroic comebacks, and agonizing defeats. The Notre Dame Football Encyclopedia captures the mystique of the Golden Dome as well as the fierce loyalty that countless Notre Dame fans hold for this special place and its proud football tradition. Nowhere else can such a thorough and revealing history of Notre Dame football be found. About the AuthorMichael R.

Certainly, Coach Hayes and his secretary, Ms, Lena Biscuso, were indispensable. They provided me with information that could not have been acquired elsewhere.

  • Urban Meyer’S Career Ranks Among Coaching Elite by Tex Noel/1St-N-Goal; Secsportsfan.Com/Stathistorian
    Urban Meyer’s Career Ranks among Coaching Elite By Tex Noel/1st-N-Goal; SECSportsfan.com/StatHistorian The SEC has not only produced some of college football’s outstanding players the game of college has—or will ever—seen; but also many of highly successful head coaches, once patrolled a conference sideline. The earliest mentor to make his mark was Alabama’s Wallace Wade; who career in the mid- 1920s hold a slim three percentage point lead over, are yall ready for this, a coach from Vanderbilt, who 20 years earlier had produced some outstanding teams ever on the Nashville gridiron. Before you go and say, the conference celebrated its 75th Anniversary last fall, there wasn’t an SEC per se back then. You would be right, SEC fan; but before there was an SEC most of today’s current conference line-up were members of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference and later the Southern Conference, both precursors to the SEC. As Wade’s accomplishments brought an early recognition to the conference in his first four years, 1919-23 at the helm; the coach that would compile the highest winning percent over the first four years of his SEC coaching career was just getting started. At the start of his tenure in Knoxville, Robert Neyland’s charges equaled Wade win total but had a higher winning percentage, .934—to--.837, respectively. Why are the first four seasons used to rank the coaches? Simple, Florida’s Urban Meyer in 2008 completed his fourth season in Gainesville; as this compilation will show how he compares to other coaching greats that have called a SEC school home.

Menke Time cannot dim the glory that is Willie Heston's; the onrushing years cannot efface the memories of the greatest halfback that America has ever produced. A decade and more has passed since the great Wolverine halfback hung up his uniform for the last time. Vet his deeds are as fresh in the minds of foot ball lovers as they were in the era when he was tearing lines to ribbons with his powerful, bull-like rushes. And the tales of Heston’s triumphs will thunder down through the vales of history to echo and re-echo for the next generation— and the next— and the next. Heston was the irresistible force—the human juggernaut. He hurled his compact, marvelous body into, the most powerful human walls that ever were produced and split them a sunder. Every team that played Michigan during the regime of Heston had orders to "Get Heston!" And none succeeded.
