Great additions. 
Can't we say Dick Norman ?

and BobK how many yards did he gain in that last drive that ended at the Cal 5 as I recall?  Would have been interesting if he had ever had a good team to support him.  My years at Stanford were not marked by good football teams.

Couldn't get a Skip Face FG off in time. Cactus Jack! The next year 0-10.


Re: New admissions to the Stanford Athletic Hall of Fame - BobK - 06-13-2017

Don't recall how many yards but it was awesome.  And another Cactus Jack loss.


Re: New admissions to the Stanford Athletic Hall of Fame - Phogge - 06-13-2017

401 yards at a time when 200 was a lot.

Not unless you want the software to make you sound like a real dick-head.  ;)

Then we can't say Skip Face's nickname?

I knew 400 yards, not the last drive.  :P


Re: New admissions to the Stanford Athletic Hall of Fame - GK3 - 06-14-2017

As I recall, Norman threw for over 100 yards on the last drive.  There were several penalties that called plays back which hurt us a lot.  Of course he didn't get credit for the yards gained on the plays called back so the 100 yards will never appear in any record book.  It was an amazing performance in a losing cause.

Can't believe that Norman didn't make the HOF 50+ years ago.

Awaiting the PC autocorrect with trepidation.......
