Keywords: Heisman, Sanders, Ware, Detmer, Howard, award

This is the absolute LAST posting I intend to make on the subject of the
Heisman trophy, and I am sure that everyone is relieved.  But, after
everyone was so kind as to to mail me the info, and I got obsessive and 
compiled it, it seemed a waste not to post the entire list.

In any case, thanks everyone for the help.  Hope you can save this
file for future trivia usage.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
I only have two question marks that I cannot resolve so far, but
I am pretty sure that I know the answers anyway.  
  1) Was George Rogers still on the roster in Washington for
     Super Bowl XXII in the '87 season?     
  2) Had Doug Flutie reported to the Chicago Bears prior to Super Bowl XX 
     in the '85 season?
