It was you. That book was on my want list years for years. Thanks for sending me a copy. What's interesting is Carl M. Becker cites you but I don't recall him mentioning the 1,000 yard season. That came as a big surprise to me. Becker's book is still available on Amazon. Let's see if anyone wants to...

Next year for Parratt.

Really glad you all post the vote totals now. Was this class a little larger than usual? It's not always 10 in and 10 out is it?

Jay is going to kill me.... maybe. I've been off the board for a while and didn't vote. I would have voted for all 7 super seniors who wound up in the bottom 10 including Brock. Would him getting 37 votes have put him in or knocked X out? Very Very happy about George Christensen though. That's aweso...

Not a streak, and a season before his team would join the NFL, but what runner became the first documented 1,000-yard rusher in pro football history? (may as well include the team and year in your answer)

For Shiring, one of our members, Gregg Ficery, wrote a book recently that's relevant: https://www.gridironlegacy.com Kerkhoff's Wikipedia entry is pretty strong: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herman_Kerkhoff It only lists a handful of secondary references, but I think one or more persons dug into pr...

Wasn't it also possible to lose the chance to even try the kick if the punt out was dropped?

There are a lot of them on this ballot....

That's a "Super Senior" explosion this year. Wow! It kind of feels like a win to see that list even if none of them get in

If not for the 1400 yard season, I don't think it would matter, but I hesitate to rank his '47 season with a comparable 1,000 yard season from a RB. To me, it isn't the same. Sanders was getting the snap directly several yards behind the LOS and the defense had to be wary of both the threat of the p...

Jack McBride, interesting choice. Does he get nominated often? Haven't seen him make a ballot. If Red Dunn couldn't get in, though, I can't imagine McBride having a better chance. McBride was ranked 39th in Chris Willis's new book and Dunn 40th, so it's really close. I've nominated both in the past...

-A leading rusher I wasn't able to name. Can anyone guess without looking? Can't recall the exact spelling, but I think it's the guy whose last name starts with Stryz. You got it: Johnny Strzykalski: https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/S/StrzJo00.htm My guess was Joe Perry :). I'd be lyi...
