Sports Science breakdown: Full-speed Leonard Fournette creates same momentum as 500-pound Bengal Tiger http://theadvocate.com/news/13829921-79/half-man-half-beast-expert __________________________________________________________________ More Heisman Stuff I heard Billy Cannon interviewed by Matt Moscona yesterday. I missed most of it but heard a couple of interesting things Cannon only found out that he was the Heisman winner at 8 PM on the Saturday he won when Coach Paul Dietzel called and told him he had won. No trip to New York in those days. He said he felt like he should have won in 1958 because he had a better year. Said every year at the Downtown Athletic Club Heisman ceremony he sits next to '58 winner Pete Dawkins and they talk smack about who was better. When Cannon played for the Houston Oilers the Heisman Trophy was at a Houston restaurant. When he was traded to the Raiders he loaned the trophy to a friend in Monroe who owned a restaurant. The trophy was at his house in a trophy case when he agreed to let T.J. Moran display it at T.J. Ribs. When a mutual friend came by to pick up the trophy he got it out of the case and told the friend to be sure to tell TJ. that he had gone into his garage and gotten the trophy out from under some oily rags. T.J. mentioned that at a press conference announcing the trophy would be on display at his restaurant. The next day in the newspaper the headline was "Billy Cannon Heisman Trophy Rescued from Under Oily Rags."
I already know Leonard Fournette is the best football player in the NCAA. While I hope he wins this stupid award because he deserves it, I'd much rather this team win that ugly Dr Pepper trophy Larry created.
