Many on this board will have no idea who Joe Bellino was.

He was the Heisman Trophy winner in 1960 and the star of a really good Naval Academy team.

Navy played Missouri in the Orange Bowl and JFK was in the audience both to honor the Academy and see Joe Bellino.

Missouri played a stifling 7 man against them and Joe did not have a very good game.

Missouri won every game they played and should proudly display a National Champions 1960 banner.'

His Obit in most players shows him running the ball against the Tiger defense.

Reading his obit, he was a remarkable guy and was loved by many.
