60% of the time, it works every time.
Well before many of our times, but a BIG congrats to Jim Houston on making the College Football Hall of Fame. However, notice that everyone's favorite Mark May made the list as well.

New York, NY (Sports Network) - Heisman Trophy winning quarterback John Huarte and All-America running back Anthony Davis are among the College Football Hall of Fame's Class of 2005.
Huarte, the 1964 Heisman winner from Notre Dame, and Davis, the 1974 Heisman runner-up from Southern California, were joined in this year's class by nine other Division I-A players and two coaches.
Other players selected for enshrinement were Alabama linebacker Cornelius Bennett, Pittsburgh offensive lineman Mark May, Oklahoma running back Joe Washington, Texas running back Roosevelt Leaks, Michigan defensive back Tom Curtis, Penn State offensive tackle Keith Dorney, Ohio State end Jim Houston, Stanford defensive tackle Paul Wiggin and Illinois wide receiver David Williams.
Pat Dye and Don Nehlen were the coaches chosen for induction.
"We are very pleased to have the opportunity to induct another exceptional class of college football Hall of Famers," said National Football Foundation chairman Jon F. Hanson. "Each year our hard-working honors court, chaired by Gene Corrigan, continues to do an outstanding job in ensuring the game's legends are duly recognized."
The 2005 College Football Hall of Fame Division I-A Class will be inducted at the 48th Annual Awards Dinner on December 6, 2005, at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York City. They will be officially enshrined at the Hall of Fame in South Bend during ceremonies in August of 2006.
Huarte guided Notre Dame to a share of the national championship in 1964 when he set 12 school records, including single-season passing yards with 2,062 and touchdown passes with 16.
Davis, the Heisman runner-up to Ohio State's Archie Griffin, will become the sixth Trojan in as many years to enter the Hall of Fame. He helped Southern California to a record of 31-3-2, three conference titles, three Rose Bowl victories and two national championships in three years.
Bennett, Alabama's Player of the Decade for the 1980s, won the Lombardi Award as the nation's top lineman in 1986. He was a two-time first-team All-American and a unanimous selection in '86. In 14 successful NFL seasons, he played in five Super Bowls -- four in a row for the Buffalo Bills.
May was the 1980 Outland Trophy winner as the top interior lineman and that season captained a Pittsburgh team that went 11-1 and included Hall of Famers Dan Marino and Hugh Green. He was also a two-time Super Bowl winner with the Washington Redskins in a 13-year NFL career.
Washington finished third -- behind Griffin and Davis -- in the 1974 Heisman balloting, then was fifth in the voting the following season when Griffin won the award again. His Sooner teams won a pair of national championships and lost only twice in 46 career games.
Leaks became the first African-American athlete to earn All-America honors for Texas in 1973 when he finished third in the Heisman Trophy race.
Curtis had 25 career interceptions from 1967-69 for Michigan, leading the nation with 10 picks in 1968.
Dorney was a two-time first-team All-America for Penn State and helped the Nittany Lions to a record of 38-10 during his career from 1975-78.
Houston was an Ohio State team MVP twice and led the Buckeyes to the 1957 national championship.
Wiggin played at Stanford from 1954-56 and is one of only two players to return to school as head coach.
Williams finished his collegiate career (1983-85) as the second-leading receiver in NCAA history with 245 receptions and in 1984 led the nation with 101 catches for the Illini.
Dye had a record of 153-62-5 in 19 years with East Carolina (1974-79), Wyoming (1980) and Auburn (1981-92). During his 12-year run at Auburn, Dye was the SEC coach of the year three times and led the Tigers to six bowl victories in nine appearances. Nehlen is best known for his 21 years at West Virginia (1980-2000) and was named national coach of the year in 1988 when he guided the Mountaineers to an undefeated regular season. He also coached for nine seasons at Bowling Green and has a career record of 202-128-8.
