Rice is my guess but not certain.

[Bama]

I know he coached at Auburn at some point as bad as it pains me to say that being a Alabama native lol

[double lung]

Knowing your college affiliation, I'd guess that he was a Owl. I actually ordered a book from Amazon about him. Hopefully it's a good read...

Which former Rice HC was an Assistant at BAMA in the late 1920's?

[Burnadell]

That would have been the Great White Owl, Jess Neely, who was head coach my freshman and sophomre years.

A beer when I get to Bownanza

I see his name on a plaque and on the walk of champions at Bryant-Denny Stadium every time I go by there. I have always heard about him and remembered you saying something about how good a man he was.

I think he served Georgia Tech pretty well. He also coached basketball and baseball at GT.

Most lopsided football game in history was coached by him at GT where GT won 222-0!
