The 1951 University of San Francisco football team is often called the greatest collection of college football heroes ever to play together.The team went all season undefeated, no ties.
Despite its success, it did not receive an invitation to play a postseason bowl game, usually a sure bet for a team with such an unblemishedrecord.
In 1951 the USF Dons were one of only a handful of football teams in the nation with African-American players. Only if they left behind theirAfrican-American teammates, Ollie Matson and Burt ToIer, would they be invited to play in a bowl game. For the Dons, the decision was easy: everyone goes ornobody goes. And so the team came to be known as "undefeated, untied, and uninvited."
Toler, described as the best all-around member of the '51 team, broke the color barrier in his own way. A knee injury dashed his chancesat a pro career, but he became the first African-American NFL game official, working for 25 seasons.
After winning silver and bronze medals in track at the 1952 Olympics, Matson had a pro football career and ended up in the NFL Hall of Fame,as did USF teammates Bob St. Clair and Gino Marchetti.
Members of the team reunited at a recent 50th anniversary celebration; more than 400 people came together to remember the team that washeroic for more than its record on the football field.

Im not much of a science guy but its like when a women catches a sun tan and she takes her braw off, you can see the lines that were covered by the braw. Soits like the little girl was in front of the wall while the heat was coming towards her way. It was said that when the bomb explode it was about 5,000 degrees.

ATOMIC SHADOW - In a few seconds after an atomic bomb goes off the area around it is bathed in intense heat rays streaming out from the detonation point. Tempsof objects hit by the rays can climb to 1,000 degrees or more. This causes wood to char to black while old, dirty concrete can be "bleached" white.If any object blocks the heat rays for those few seconds a portion of the surface is spared and does not change color leaving a "shadow."....

The guy didn't make a sound while he was on fire. An American journalist stated that he was calm and concentrated....
