About us
Orson Swindle and Stranko Montana are two men pushing thirty who should know better than to run a college football blog, but evidently don't. Both graduated from the University of Florida, and both agree that college football is far too important to be left to the professionals.

@Mark D:
He’s Iowa’s legendary Nile Kinnick. Read up on his story if you haven’t before; it’s pretty remarkable.

As much as it pains me being a Gopher:

At 24 — as deserving as is Kinnick — it is a travesty not to mention Pete Dawkins. He is a former Heisman Trophy winner, Rhodes Scholar, and U.S. Army Brigadier General.
In short, he is as talented a college football player who ever graced the gridiron.

@allaha:
Dawkins also popularized the overarm throw at the line-out, whatever that is.

Interesting quote from a Scotsman before America entered WWII
“For Americans war is almost all of the time a nuisance, and military skill is a luxury like Mah-Jongg. But when the issue is brought home to them, war becomes as important, for the necessary period, as business or sport. And it is hard to decide which is likely to be the more ominous for the Axis — an American decision that this is sport, or that it is business.”
Denis William Brogan
Always liked that one.

Mmmmm. An Iowa boy thanks you, EDSBS.
Gosh, isn’t a coincidence that he played in Kinnick Stadium?
