Former LSU tailback and NFL Hall of Fame member passed away today at the age of 91. Well before my time and most likely anyone on TD, but it's sad to see a legend gone.

Here's a HOFer who's hardly mentioned as an LSU great, it seems. Why is that?

For whatever reason he is the most 'under-valued' LSU great of all time. Granted he played at LSU during the 'War Years' but van Buren's play in and of itself was one reason the Orange Bowl picked LSU to play in the '44 game.

I had the privilege of teaching and coaching his two nephews at WCCA. They were both very good football players. They didn't attend LSU. Bobby VB got a football scholarship to LA Tech. They were both fond of their Uncle and praised him all the time.

His poor eyesight kept him out of WW2. Amazing athlete and one of the greatest of all-time.
