Bleeding Red and Blue

Nunsey, I was too lazy to check, but my aging recollection is that Al Attles had 17 points in the game in Hersey, Penn. Has my memory failed me again?

Sorry about that. I don't know where I picked that up, but that's what I've always heard. Oh well, so make it the third highest scorer.

I'm struggling finding the 2 wins SMC had over Bear Byant. Bear coached at Maryland, Kentucky, A&M and Alabama between 1945-1982. I just looked up all those teams schedules and the SMC football schedule and we never played any of them. Am I missing something?

My fellow 1991 SMC classmate: James Mouton

Said SCUm's Keating: "Everybody wants to talk about how they lost Omar (Samhan) and then they lost Mickey (McConnell). Well, all due respect to those guys, they're not the most important player on this team. Dellavedova's on those two teams, too. He's the most important player in that program from Day 1, and he's proven that from Day 1." SF Gate 1/21/12

What is the only college football team to have two brothers of Heisman Trophy winners start at the same position as their Heisman Trophy winning brother?

Saint Mary's College, of course.

Greg Huarte, SMC +++ John Huarte, Notre Dame
Gary Toretta, SMC +++ Geno Toretta, Miami
Actually, don't know if we are the only team that fits this criteria, but it is still pretty cool.

The answer is obviously Saint Mary's, but the trivia fact from Dean Zing's jan-term baseball class (which I believe still holds true)

Saint Mary's is the only College/University to have two alums, who were members of a starting outfield, which won the World Series (and they did it twice!)
The 1912 and 1915 World Series Champion Red Sox had two Gaels in their starting outfield - Harry Hooper and Duffy Lewis (along with Tris Speaker) that made up the "Golden Outfield" - also called the "Million Dollar Outfield".

Oops!!! Just realized Mountjoy posted the correction earlier.

Actually Tom Meschery along with Paul Arizin was the third highest scorer with 16 points in Wilt Chamberlain's famous 100 point game with the Philadelphia Warriors in 1962. The second highest scorer that night was Al Attles who was perfect with 17 points (8-8 FG's, 1-1 FT's). Attles eventually coached the Golden State Warriors to the NBA championship in 1975.
