What happened to Rocky Blier? Not only a member of the 66 championship team, but also the captain of the team. Also a war hero that overcame great odds to play pro ball

Hornung was a tainted star with the mighty Green Bay Packers in the early 60s, but was suspended for, I think only, a year for gambling, but never really got his stride back. Yes he was the Golden Boy, Jack Nicklauswas the Golden Bear.

Paul Hornung was not known as the "Golden Bear". The media called him "The Golden BOY".

Fighting Irish are 0-1 and favored to win by the bookies against Michigan who is 1-0. Hope Vegas is right! Go Irish!
