Paul Hornung, ND’ original “golden boy”, is the namesake for college football’s newest honor: “most versatile player” (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 8-11-11:

“Three weeks until the college football season kicks off (ESPN and SI season previews are here!), and I gotta tell ya, all seems right with the world. Notre Dame is expected to do well (most informed media members are thinking 9-10 wins), and opposing fan bases are hating any small seasoning of Irish love that is sprinkled on (the Irish will lose to USF right out of the gates, ND doesn’t have enough athletes to keep up with the team speed of Florida’s fifth-best team, you idiots). It makes me smile, good things are coming if people are feeling the need to put down ND. Honestly, it feels like driving down the highway in a ‘66 Shelby Cobra 427 on a sunny day, with three skirts next to you (don’t ask me how, it’s all about excess), fighting to see who gets to put their hands on your gear.”

Paul Hornung’s Words of Wisdom For 2-10-11:

“A lot of people are bashing A-Rod for the Super Bowl incident where his girl Cameron Diaz was hand-feeding him popcorn. Not a surprising reaction, but I’ll bet that what they really wish is that Cameron Diaz was actually hand-feeding them. What guy would argue with that? In fact, I’ll bet there are eleven coaches in the SEC (and Lane Kiffen out west) that have already promised the next 5-star recruit that Cameron Diaz will ditch A-Rod, and feed him (grapes this time, and by the bushel) if he would just sign with their school.”

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).

Paul Hornung’s Words of Wisdom For 4-30-10:

“The fat man is losing his place in society. He doesn’t even belong on the offensive line anymore-he can’t handle speed rushers that come off the edge with 4.6 speed. That’s why you see Brian Kelly recruiting lineman that go about 260lb or 270lb (with some room to bulk up, but still be lean). In fact, about the only two places left for him are: 1.) being a comedian, or 2.) being a pitchman for Subway.”
