"The Golden Boy" Paul Hornung did play on Blankenship field for Louisville Flaget.  I believe it was 1951.  Oak Ridge made two trips to Louisville to play Flaget around that same time period.  Then, Johnny Majors got screwed out of the Heisman by The Golden Boy in '56, whose Notre Dame team was 4-6.

 

Funniest thing about this whole story is that on the broadcast it was Russell Bivens that did say Red Grange, but he got his incorrect information from Mike Mullins, the OR athletic director.  Ha Ha

I don't have any info on Oak Ridge's past scores from the 50"s but I did mention in post 62# of this thread that scenario would have been the only way Hornung could have played there. Grange was 40 years old when OR became a school. I figured if someone had said Grange on TV then they would had the whole thing wrong unless their already counting on Tee Higgins to win it one day which would be super great with me.

    • Im asking everyone to keep roy whited and his family in your prayers. Coach whited won back to back state championships at white county in 98-99. He is very well liked and respected in this area. For those of you that dont know he went missing 3 days ago. No one knows where he is. His truck was found in a rural part of the county. Thanks again. We are all very concerned. 
    • West would be a good team to get behind if they can pull it off again like last year. That championship game last year was awesome. 
    • I say that because he stepped out of a MUCH better situation on his own than he would see at least his first 3 years at DCA and it would take at least that much to bring him back to coaching. There are other fish in the sea, but again money talks. Need to fix the girls hoops too. Now I'll try again. Who has Pierce locked in for his staff? Hearing a McGavock man but not the Iceman.
    • I’ve heard mostly good things from the gridiron. Lots of optimism. It sounds like the portal has mostly helped, though there are a few expected defections. Comeback year!
    • Rudesell 1 year at Crockett. Coach Tate 2 weeks a Bradford. South Gibson supposedly going with jcs middle school coach. Which isn’t who I thought would get it, I know the top 2 was between him and Obion girls head coach.
