former ATM and Miss State coach who many credit with the invention of the wishbone while on Darrell Royal's UT staff. UT won the MNC in 69 with Bellard on staff and running the bone. Oklahoma and Alabama would soon adopt the wishbone triple option and win a few NC's.

Did not win a single SEC game his final year at MSU.

Re: Emory Bellard dies
My dad died from Lou Gehrig's Disease back in 2001, so I know firsthand that's a pretty nasty thing to go through.
IIRC, it used to be pretty much conventional wisdom that Lou Gehrig's Disease only struck within a certain window of one's life, age-wise. Bellard was 83, though, so apparently it can happen much later in life than previously thought.

Re: Emory Bellard dies
6 or 7 MNC's won by the bone in the 70's and 80's in about a 15 year period....off the top of my head. OU 74,75, 85. Bama has 3 I think.Carson wrote:Did not win a single SEC game his final year at MSU.

Oklahoma is one game away (losing either to Nebraska or Miami as eventual national champs) in 71, 78, 87 and 88. 78, OU loses at Nebraska and then dominates the Huskers in Miami.

I hope you don't think I'm dissing the 'bone.
Pat Dye ran it in his first four years at Auburn.
Went 11-1 against the toughest Div I schedule in 1983.
