I love learning little nuggets of history regarding players we were recruiting in the past (even if I'm late to the show) - I had no idea Woody almost had Len Dawson and that it came down between the Good Guys and Purdue. Len allegedly chose Purdue because he was close to Purdue Assistant Hank Stram. And, allegedly, he didn't like Woody's offense.
Mod Edit: Added to the title for clarity; moved to Anything Else as it's more historic than relevant to current recruiting news.
