[edit] Colleges

Meega, I never heard of this fella until I was doing a page on his son, who runs Heinz, and I can't recall how I was led to do THAT page. The alumni page from McCombs on the son says Tiger got his degree from SFA. Alumni pages are rah-rah, not hard-hitting journalism, so I wouldn't stake my life on the McComb page being correct. And, as you point out, it's quite conceivable that he went to more than one school. Should I phone Heinz and ask his son to confirm this, or a way to contact Tiger?

The McCombs link you provided is good enough for me, and I added an inline citation to it. ×Meegs 17:50, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

Summary

• There's a myriad of sources that he was a football standout at Tyler Junior College
• The McColmes School of Business's website has a profile of his son that says he earned a degree from Stephen F. Austin State University
• Database football indicates that he played at Texas A&M

There's no reason all three can't be true, but only the first two are in the article for right now. ×Meegs 17:58, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
