You’re shitting me right?  They named their football program for one player who was famous for a few years 40-50 years ago?  That’s funny.
What.
Winslow, AZ is still pinning their economy on being mentioned in an Eagles song 50 years ago, lol.

They have 1 really good hardware store.  Way better than a town of that size should have.

BYU: Ty Dettmer?
Syracuse: Jim Brown (hopefully)
Boston College: Doug Flutie?
UCLA: pretty sure one of their 90s QBs.
Oregon: Mariotta?
Pitt: Tony Dorsett
PSU: Biakabatuka?
SMU: Eric Dickerson?
Stanford: Jim Plunkett

Mad that I missed RGIII and Barry Sanders. Annoyed that I missed Kinnick.

No scrolling down!!!!

Here's the game - below is the list of schools with one and only one Heisman winner.
Quote and type as many of the players as you can name. 
Post.
THEN go back and scroll through.


MN was Bruce Smith

Smith won the 1941 Heisman Trophy two days after the attack on Pearl Harbor.[1] At the time, he was the first and only Minnesota player to receive the award.[3]
During World War II, he served as a United States Navy fighter pilot. After the war, he played in the National Football League (NFL) with the Green Bay Packers (1945–1948) and the Los Angeles Rams (1948).[2]
The movie Smith of Minnesota[4] was released in 1942.

This is why you should be mad.  Wrong school.  UM

I had posted my answers a couple days ago but interWebZ stuff happened and it vanished into the ether, and I wasn't typing it out again.  

Sadly, I only knew 4 of them for sure, and while I got several others correct, they were just guesses, I didn't know for sure.  About half in total...roughly the other half was news to me when I looked them up.

Maybe Cincydawg.
