Talk:Roy Riegels

Tech honors
Many years after the famous game, Riegels was inducted as an honorary member of the Georgia Tech lettermen's club. I believe his comment at the time was that he appreciated the honor and he certainly felt he'd earned it. I'll get a citation for this when I get the time...if you want to beat me to it it's undoubtedly to be found somewhere on the Tech website.... Ellsworth (talk) 00:33, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

DYK nomination

Aftermath gap
The Aftermath section has two sentences back to back as follows:

The opening sequence of the 1929 Frank Capra movie Flight is based on Riegels and uses photographs of him.[17][18] A year later, the movie John Goldfarb, Please Come Home was released and the lead character performs a similar blunder in his college years, earning the name "Wrong Way" Goldfarb.[19]

This is chronologically impossible, as the novel "John Goldfarb, Please Come Home" wasn't written until 1963, with the movie coming out in 1965. There appears to be at least one reference missing between "Flight" and "Goldfarb"; but I have no idea of what it is.
