Is Frank a progeny of the Gophers' all time greatest coach Bernie Bierman? Seems to have found a role on this team!
 


I assume they'd mention if it that was true.

But this is the internet so I choose to believe what I want because someone else on he internet told me its true and I want to believe it.

I’ve heard he’s related to this guy -

My understanding is that there is no relation or at least non that they are aware of.
 

Can you imagine going somewhere to get Wally's autograph???? Wonder what those lines looked like.
Never attended any of his personal appearances, but had many opportunities to buy a beer from him. In later years, he carried around personalized trading cards, although I believe those were mostly saved for the ladies.

Once at a Saints game an inebriated young fellow was haranguing Wally for a card, finally stumbling on the idea of saying it was for his girlfriend. Wally said "she already has one." The guy looked perplexed and mumbled something back about that not being correct. Wally boomed "check under her pillow!" as he turned and walked away.
