Talk:Amos Alonzo Stagg

message: From Wikipedia Entry on All America Team: "Selection to an All-America team for high school and collegiate players, however, is honorary in nature, and All-America "teams" do not typically play any games as a unit, unlike many of the all-star teams. Therefore, to be an All-American does not constitute being on a team.
"The original use of the term "All-America" seems to have been in reference to a list of college football players who were regarded as the best at their respective positions. The first "All-America" team was the 1889 College Football All-America Team selected by Casper Whitney and published in This Week's Sports in association with Walter Camp.[1]"
...His degree was awarded 1888. He was probably through as an active player then. (Right?) So, he was not playing in 1889, much less for Yale. He was simply being honored for his college playing career while at Yale. Whereas, sidebar "Playing career" would indicate (to me) that he was still playing, for Yale, in 1889.   —Preceding unsigned comment added by Australorp (talk • contribs) 01:25, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

message: Currently, in Arlington, VA, USA, a Boy Scout Troop runs an annual Alonzo Stagg Hike, allowing participants to cover up to 50 miles in 20 hours. This is based on Stagg's legendary hikes for his teams at the beginning of the practice season. Not sure if the current hike or the legendary ones fit into this entry. --Habap 21:32, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
