🏈 How did Tony Barnhart get the name (nickname) Mr College Football?

[Max]

Does anyone know where or how that started?

 

[XXL TideFan]

It started right after he bought a keychain that had that printed on it from a SanAnn station in the early 70's

Just the typical arrogance at the AJC.

Someone ought to tweet the question to him directly. I wonder if he indeed make up his own moniker if he'd admit so.

No other idiot was smart enough to claim the title.

What Tony actually knows about football would fit in a thimble with room to spare.

He gave to himself!

Thank goodness Barnhart grabbed the title before Tim Brando could claim it for himself.

His title was chosen from the "Big Book of Ironic Titles"
