The only 3 time All-American at USC? How quickly we forgot the old-timers, like Matt Leinart.

COngrats Batman.
I see Joe Paterno's name on that list. I'm surprised hes not in as yet! I considered him one of the top 5 coaches of all time.

JoePa was actually announced last year but had to postpone his induction because of his leg injury.
