Message: [QUOTE="cto, post: 113381, member: 412"] Hope some of you watched it on espn3. I was lucky to be there (last minute invite which I accepted because I have "no false pride" accepting a last minute invitation). Anyhow... this is always a great event -- involving a sell-out crowd of 2500 in the grand ballroom of the Waldorf Astoria to honor this year's inductees. Every famous coach and famous college player (who is not playing in the NFL this weekend) was there. Among the Hall members recognized in attendance were Floyd Little, Don McPherson and Dick McPherson. It's kind of a rah-rah patriotic thing, but great fun. Some famous singer was supposed to sing the Star Spangled Banner, but he showed up late. So Reese Davis (MC) let the entire crowd in singing it instead. Just a a really neat moment. As we all sang off-key. Anyhow, if you ever get a chance to attend it, jump at the opportunity. [/QUOTE]
