RR's home town
RR is from a small mining town in WV called Grant Town. I did not realize his proximity to the home town of our own Fielding H. Yost. The towns are only 4.5 miles apart. It really strikes me as odd to the proximity of two small mining towns that produced two high profile football coaches let alone for the same school. It also really strikes me as odd that RR doesn't seem to know of Yost at all. I would think his name would get mentioned once, especially when he got the job. I would think any kid from this area who wants to be a football coach would know of Fielding H. Yost. Something odd to me

I'm pretty sure this was discussed when RR was first hired.

I didn't realize they were that close though. The other thing is how we have gone a whole year without hearing Yost's name considering this fact seems odd.
