The records started recognizing such as promptly as 1961. <br /><br />Tarkenton was actually the second-team All-American as chosen by the Associated Press that season behind first-teamer Jake Gibbs of Ole Miss. <br /><br />I've blogged before about the four games (3 wins, 1 loss) from the early 1900s that were inexplicably left out of the football records when they should be indeed included. I'm guessing the Tarkenton "error" is something similiar - a mistake made in the past by UGA's sports communications department that has yet to be corrected.<br /><br />Thanks for reading and posting.<br />--<br />PatrickPatrick Garbinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01356915340772134104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4004306236917286956.post-71378247509330093232011-05-19T08:57:06.849-04:002011-05-19T08:57:06.849-04:00As always, good piece.
