Wish I could've seen SVB play. RIP fellow Tiger. Here's a story of from the thread Lakebound posted:
quote:
During a four-year stretch from 1940-43, the Eagles accumulated a combined record of 10-31-2. However, in Van Buren's rookie season the squad went 7-1-2 under head coach "Greasy" Neale. In 1948, Van Buren would lead Philadelphia to the championship as the Eagles won their first NFL title in a blinding snowstorm at Shibe Park. Ironically, Van Buren almost missed the game figuring the game would be postponed due to the inclement weather. However, when he was informed by Neale that the game was still on, Van Buren took public transit and then walked an additional seven blocks in knee-deep snow to get to the game.
