quote:
The older three — Frank, George and Whit — went to Tennessee. The younger three — Justin, Billy and Conn — went to Mississippi State. A half-century later, on the eve of another Mississippi State-Tennessee game Saturday in Starkville, they may well be the largest set of siblings that have ever played the sport on such a high level.
quote:
"They are the greatest football family that ever came out of Memphis," said Billy Tagg, a cousin. "And I'm not sure they're not the greatest to ever play the game of college football."

Another great family in football all attended Ole Miss were: Paige Cothren . His uncles, Buster, Ray and Barney Poole, were All-Americans at Ole Miss and would eventually star for various teams in the NFL. One of the Pooles played at 3 different colleges and was All American at each 3.
Paige was the first player to sign a contract with the NO Saints.

I don't remember their being so many of them and only remember Justin. He was #63 and was our place kicker in addition to be our offensive guard that played in the 1963 Liberty Bowl against NC State when the game was still played in Philadelphia, Pa.

There's an old story about a State coach recruiting on of the Canale brothers. The State coaches were toying with the idea of having the quarterback stand a few yards back and the center snapping it to him that way. However, the Canale running back was more suited to the traditional way of running an offense. Right after an assistant coach came up with a name for the new offense, the head coach scrapped it and said......"Leave the gun. Take the Canale".
