I'm writing to memoralize the fact that I edited Darrell Royal's page to include a few of his "notable quotes." I started out looking for "guy who made the blind hog quote." I had a bit of effort trying to find his name via Google. So when I did, I decided to make things easier for the next person who tried to find the same information.
Incidentally, I live over 1,000 miles away from the University of Texas. I watched the "Game of the Century" (I was 11 years old at the time), but I really didn't know anything about Darrell Royal prior to this Google search.
By the way, I realize that the "blind hog" quote is a variation on a number of similar quotes involving "blind seagulls" and various other species. But I think the quote is worthy of inclusion in Darrell Royal's biography because "luck" seems to be a recurrant theme of his.
For that reason I also included 2 of his other quotes on luck.

"Tomwithanh (Talk | contribs) (Deleted the controversy section that added nothing to the article; should be expanded if it is to be kept.)"
The quote concerning the forward pass, although frequently associated with Coach Royal, originated with either Vince Lombardi or Woody Hayes. Coach Royal himself, in an interview with the Columbus Dispatch, attributed it to Woody Hayes (Jones, Todd. "Royal took Longhorns from oblivion to No. 1", Columbus Dispatch, 2006-09-09, p. 07E).

Darrell Royal was selected to an All America team in 1949. The position was quarterback. Because this is not mentioned in the article, I am wondering if there is a reason. -- Beachsand ( talk) 21:40, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
