I am elated that college football has given Darrin Nelson the recognition he was long overdue to receive.  The inner workings of this type of selection process are unknown to me, but Nelson performed at a level so thoroughly deserving of this award that it strikes me as a gross oversight that it has taken this long for him to be named to the Hall.  Is it somewhat like baseball?  Is a candidate available to be named each year and votes cast?  Is it possible that the rise of Stanford football to prominence in even the consciousness of the national audience helped give Nelson's resume a more powerful argument for admission?  Not that it really matters.  It's just that it would be a shame that it would take that externality for his record to be validated.
