What Makes A Legend??

There have been many Oregon Duck legends. Names such as Kenny Wheaton, Joey Harrington and even recently Dennis Dixon. Kenny Wheaton was forever legendified with his "Kenny Wheaton is going to score!" Joey Harrington became a Duck legend with his 25-3 record and 3-0 bowl record. Dennis Dixon became a legend in many aspects. He had the fake statue of liberty, his defeats over Oklahoma, USC and ASU. Being a Heisman contender and "could of been" winner also added to it. But I think the biggest thing that added to it was his Bo Jackson mystique. He had so much going for him last year until he got injured. A National Championship and Heisman were his to lose, and sadly he lost them. But not because he had a complete collapse like the last year, because of an untimely injury. What makes a legend is what surrounds the person. Joey Harrington lost 1 game for every 8.5 games he won. Kenny Wheaton defeated the #3 Huskies. Dennis Dixon, Dixon had it all, everything and anything. His play, his attitude and love for the game will never be forgotten. I heard a line in movie that will forever stick with me when I think of these players. Its from a childhood movie I loved watching, The Sandlot. Babe Ruth is telling Benny he needs to face the beast, and he says to him: " Hero's get remembered, but Legends never die."
