Riggins was a high school All-american, football, basketball and track. An older frat bother from Centralia, told me that Riggins would arrive at track meets wearing pink bib overalls, barefoot carrying a beer 5 minutes before his event, strip down, run and leave. In northeast Kansas he was a god even in high school.

Name dropping? Well yes, someday I'll tell you about haveing breakfast with Ronald Reagan.
