Nice Article on Charlie Jones


Unless you've been around college football longer than I've been alive, you never really knew how important Charlie Jones was to the sport, and the bowl game in which Penn State has had so much success, the Fiesta Bowl. (For those PSU-history-challenged, it's 6-0 all time in Tempe) CFN does a real nice job paying tribute to Jones, and much to Penn State fans' delight, Matt Zemek focuses on Jones' infamous calling of the 1982 and 1986 Fiesta Bowls. It's a very good read.

-CFN pays tribute to Charlie Jones, and his work in making the Fiesta Bowl one of the "Big Games."

By the way, my "longer than I've been alive" statement wasn't completely true. I was born in 1984, so I was in fact 18 days away from my third birthday when Penn State embarrassed Miami for the national championship.
