2. He's a Good Kid

I hope he doesn't get McFaddened. Never heard from again.

Hey El Supremo, I heard on NPR last week that Steve Owens was in the waiting room ready to go on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson after he won the Heisman and he got a call from President Nixon asking him to ride on Air Force One with him to the Arkansas-Texas Game. No mention of it in "The Book." I don't recall him being at the game.

3. Never heard of again?

He's only in his second season. Give him some time before you say 'never heard of again'. I think he'll be good, he an injury that sidelined him for several games and he doesn't get as many as carries with Michael Bush.

4. He's better then good

And he's invisible in Oakland.

6. Here ya go:

After accepting the Heisman Memorial trophy Owens and his wife hitchhiked down to the
Texas-Arkansas game aboard Air Force 1 when President Nixon learned he was unable
to arrange travel from New York to Fort Smith, Arkansas via commercial airlines.

On board, Nixon admired Owens' Heisman Trophy as well as Owens' gold Heisman cuff
links. Owens held on to the trophy but generously offered Nixon the cuff links. "I'll only
take these," said Nixon, "if you're sure you'll have another pair."

Owens assured the President he could obtain another set, but shortly thereafter confided
to reporters that he wasn't too sure that was the case.

Word of this got back to Nixon, who then undid his own gold cufflinks and presented
them to Owens. They were no ordinary jewelry. Years before the birth of Pat Nixon, her
father had prospected for gold in the Black Hills of South Dakota. Those cuff links were
made from that gold.
