He was quite a story on and off the field. Here's a little Cannon history as it relates to Mobile; he played at Ladd Stadium back in nineteen fifty-eight when LSU came to Mobile to open the nineteen fifty eight college season against...Alabama; it was the Crimson Tide's first game with a new head coach...Paul Bear Bryant. How about that. LSU won the game on a late Cannon touchdown. Uh, they went on to have a perfect season, won the national title -- the, uh, following year, in fifty-nine, Cannon won the Heisman trophy award, and this was also the game at Ladd Stadium when the tempora--temporary stand in the end zone collapsed; about fourteen hundred fans were in those stands and many of them were injured. And one more tidbit of history: my mother and father attended that game in fifty-eight and she was two months pregnant in fifty-eight with yours truly. I was born in fifty-nine in April" immediately afterwards, the news presenter saying, "So you were in vitro at the game" immediately afterwards, and the sports reporter saying, "I can hear the noise now" immediately afterwards.
