Consummate Purple People Eater.

Let's hope Jim goes in the "right" direction post mortem.

I'd call it a draw.

I got your back.

Really? That's all you had in the tank? Go ahead, punch out and never post a death announcement ever again.

Page and Eller were the heart of that line. And they both knew North from South.

East from West.

Kezar goes East to West or West to East or Ocean to Bay or Bay to Ocean.

Anyone remember the coach in the tan suit?

He also received a nice letter from a Cal Bear...


Marshall later received a letter from Roy Riegels, infamous for a wrong-way run in the 1929 Rose Bowl, stating, "Welcome to the club."


"What a Bonanza!"

When most people think of Jim Marshall, they think of the Purple People Eaters, the wrong way tuddy, or the golden age of the NFL when the game was played by real men who wanted to rip off your head and shit down your neck. I remember him for this:

https://www.nytimes.com/1971/02/02/arch ... ntana.html

I'm vary familiar with this area and the exact spot this Galusha fella died in his snow cave. Imagine the death thread title one of you world class Nobel Prize Laureates for literature would have come up with had T1B existed in 1971 and Marshall had died on the Beartooths.
