I'm sure it's been posted before at one time or another, but if you haven't read this old SI article about East's coach durning the 50's and 60's you really should.

A MUST READ. Bull Cyclone Sullivan is a legend among legends. A family member played against his team twice. He did not allow his players to wear face masks, and rumor has it he would make his players fist fight to determine who would start (if all things were otherwise equal. )

There was one of the Junction "survivors" of Bear Bryant's aTm boot camp. He said Bull Sullivan's pre-season was tougher.

I agree this is a fabulous article.

I have an uncle that played for him. He said that everything in that article is true..............and they left out a whole lot more along the same lines.

The Russians were coming to get Bull Sullivan first. Now that's funny.

Bull Sullivan had an air-raid offense way before anyone else. He was an offensive genius.
