Talk:Four Horsemen (American football)

message: It's absurd to think that someone in the 1930's was capable of running a 10 second 100 meter dash, much less a 100 
yard dash. I'm deleting that part. User:169.229.125.167  05:42, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: * Not totally absurd: The world records for the 100 metres were all 10 point something in the 1930s, and that was an era before professional atheletes.  Plus 100 yards is 25 feet shorter than 100 metres - I don't have too much trouble believing that a fast college athelete could run 10 point something over 100 yards in the 1930s (but not with pads on!).

replies: text: Jesse Owens record set in 1933 for the 100 yard dash was something like 9.3 or 9.4. The world record for this distance went under 10 seconds around the turn of the century. Wschart (talk) 18:02, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Dash

message: The Horsemen's counterparts on the line were known as "The Seven Mules".  1) Does anyone have the reference to this?  2)With that, does it deserve mention in the article?  Rlquall 02:55, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Linemen 

message: The previous article was mainly a description of the University of Nebraska's
games against the four horsemen.  I moved that to the bottom of the page and added
a substantial history of the actual group.  This history was adapted from the Notre Dame
Football Year Book of 1999.  I addded items of my own knowledge to it.  My father was Jim (James) Crowley, left halfback of the group.

*I used to hear that sometimes Rockne would put in substitute linemen but keep the horsemen out there, just to instill a little humility. Have you ever heard that? Wahkeenah 22:46, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Revisions written October 2,  2006 

message: The headers on the page says that sourcing is insufficient, and that the style is inappropriate.  I disagree.  I see most of the claims cited properly, both with references at the bottom and with in-line citations.  I see a neutral tone and encyclopedia-style style.  
Furthermore, the headers say to "See talk page for more details."  Well, there's nothing on the talk page related to style or sources.  
So I'm removing the headers, which undermine an informative if still a bit short & shallow article.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Moishe Rosenbaum (talk • contribs) 18:32, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
