Junior running back Billy Cannon, one of the greatest college players ever, finished third in the Heisman Trophy Poll... he would win it easily in 1959.
EC really and truly believes back injuries kept Cannon from being a star NFL player... yep, I do believe a healthy Cannon would have starred in the NFL and would now be in the NFL Hall of Fame.
One of my all-time favorites, Don Meredith, both as a player in college and the pros, and also as part of one of the greatest broadcast team in history on Monday Night Football with Howard Cosell and Frank Gifford, Dandy Don Meredith, came in pretty high in the Heisman poll two years in a row.
Danderoo was a heck of a guy... and a fairly decent country singer on occasion on Monday Night Football... at least, EC thinks Dandy Don was a better country singer than Cosell or Gifford.
Dandy Don Meredith always sang a great Willie Nelson song when the game was decided on Monday Night Football... "The Party's Over".
Yep... yep indeed... EC's got that classic for all you frats, cats, teeny boppers, buckaroos and little darlin's, too.
Here's that classic little country ditty from Dandy Don.
