Babe Ruth (the character in the movie The Sandlot, not the actual Major League Baseball Hall of Fame inductee and sports icon Babe Ruth) once said, "Heroes are remembered, but legends never die." And that is what Riley Dixon became in his four-year career at Syracuse, a legend.
Never before in the history of college football has a school become so enamored with a punter–a freaking punter. Due to his penchant for exciting fourth down conversions, Dixon became a cult icon at Syracuse.
The love for Dixon eventually became so infatuating that fans event went as far as promoting a campaign on Twitter, with the hashtag #DixonForHeisman, for him to receive the Heisman Trophy.
