College Hall of Fame remembers Joe D.

The 2008 College Football Hall of Fame ballot will include an action picture of 1997 inductee and Demon legend Joe Delaney.

Jonathan Hatchell of the Hall of Fame staff contacted us today requesting an action shot of Delaney for use on the ballot, which is mailed to hundreds of National Football Foundation members around the country.

We were able to provide shots of Delaney scoring against McNeese, breaking loose against Portland State, skirting around end at Northeast with Bobby Hebert standing in the background, and knifing through traffic against Nicholls in a day game at Turpin Stadium, not the 1979 night game in which he ran for a school-record (and at the time national-record) 299 yards.

"Those are great pictures," Hatchell wrote in an e-mail confirming receipt.
