Besides at Alabama, of course, has any other team ever failed to make the CFP/BCS when they had a returning Heisman winner at QB and the eventual #1 and #3 picks in the NFL Draft...?


2009 Oklahoma. They had the first, third, and fourth draft picks.

Mack Brown was at North Carolina when Drew Brees signed with Purdue.
They’re referencing the Doug Kershaw song Louisiana Man.
In addition to Penn State:

Nebraska 1984 Draft
WR Irving Fryar
OG Dean Steinkuhler

Michigan State 1967 Draft
DL Bubba Smith
RB Clint Jones
Tech AD Kirby Hocutt and Venables played together at Kansas State. Another name that has been mentioned if Tech goes with a defensive coach is Jim Leavitt, who coached Hocutt at KSU.
Northwestern RB Darnell Autry was a theater major and still had to sue the NCAA in the mid-1990s just to be able to have a small unpaid role in a movie.

They chose Thunderball because producer Kevin McClory owned the filming rights to the original story. He assisted Fleming on a movie script that was never made and Fleming then used that story to write Thunderball but neglected to credit anybody else. McClory had tried to make his own version of Thunderball as far back as the 1960s, when the Eon films were just starting. There were some lawsuits and various legal arrangements over the years that prevented him from doing so until the early 1980s.
The Memphis opening is missing from the list.
