"An all-everything player for SMU -- he played running back, defensive back, punted and returned kicks, among other things -- Walker won the Heisman in 1948 and was a three-time All-America. In one memorable 1947 game against Texas Christian, he had runs of 80, 61 and 56 yards."

How do you post pictures?[/code][/url]


Yes. that is Clyde the Glide. James Worthy wore out Phi Slamma Jamma on fast breaks all game long. Looks like Clyde was pretty tired in that picture.

It's because those two schools (UNC and Houston) were big time programs back then. If you are a big time program you have a lot of guys who like they could be pro players.

There is no situation, EVER, that you can't find a quote from the Simpsons that will apply...too bad the show has gone downhill so much the last 7 years or so.
