Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

Kirby is the best leader of men in any field - medicine, politics, military, finance, etc.
In any field.
Why did he go down with 14 min left?

Only thing I could think was that the coaches instructed him to go down on that play to prevent fumbling. It looks like he had room to run though.
Perhaps it because Kirby wanted to demoralize their defense by forcing them back on the field.
An onside kick cannot be advanced beyond the point of recovery. Look at the tape. Even though he did run a few steps the ball was moved back to the point of recovery. Even the announcers did not know that.
When was that implemented?

Kirby knew that is the important thing. However, there is not much that Kirby does not know.
1930’s
Maybe I'm thinking of something else but I did not know that.
