Athlete (1943-44)( 1947-48) Alvin Dark

After the start of the article I was surprised to see they noted how he picked UL after the war.

It is relative to the era but on the subject of the greatest football team in UL history I would go further and say that the Oil bowl team of 1944 was the greatest football "team" in collegiate history.

Also nice that the folks in BR named a street just off campus, after one of OUR grads.

Vieux Papa Joe,

Nice seeing your crew too. The new doc and I don't get out much.

Nice to have you as guests in Vermilion Parish. We try to take care of our out-of-towners. Just remember to "Pay it Forward".

I have only asked for one autograph in my life.

I asked Alvin Dark for his in my used hard back copy of his autobiography "When in Doubt, Fire the Manager"
