Paul Hornung, ND’ original “golden boy”, is the namesake for college football’s newest honor: “most versatile player”. What does than mean? Well, to give you a proper picture, the Paul Hornung Award would have gone to either C.J. Spiller, or ND’s own Golden Tate if it were awarded this year (a player that can help their team the most in a large variety of ways).
Hornung is one of college football’s all-time greats (think the original Rocket Ismail, plus he could throw, and play defense), the only player special enough to win the Heisman on a losing team, so his name belongs right up there with the Biletnikoffs and Nagurskis.
However, he might have even more fame for the statement “ND must lower admissions to get the black athlete and win”. Technically, he may be right on lowering admissions, he just made the mistake of using the qualifying term “black”. (That’s what we call racial profiling.)
So, occasionally in his honor, the Blarney will bring you Hornung’s Words Of Wisdom, or technically true statements that are worded wrong, and perhaps show some prejudice or some kind of political incorrectness.
Paul Hornung’s Words of Wisdom For 3-5-10:
“Insure the hell out of any asset that you own, and you will not regret it. J-Lo insures her ass should it ever be damaged by massive shaking while dancing, and the possible money from that is enough to purchase several Renee Strausse wedding dresses ($12 million) for several more marriages. Also, people have been heftily paid for items as unusual as toilet seats. So, insure, make a claim when asset is damaged or lost, and get ready to listen to The Zac Brown Band on a sunny beach while drinking rum-filled drinks for the rest of your days!”

Paul Hornung’s Words of Wisdom For 2-17-10:
“Show me a chef that thinks cat is a good menu item, and I will show you a chef that won’t be catering any of my parties. Unless that chef is Chinese, of course. Moo Goo Gai Pan is so good, I don’t care if cat is in it.”

“If you need a gift idea, ask a woman. They instinctively know what would be good because they spend much of their free time shopping.”
