Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

It felt like there were enough pieces in place last season for Oregon’s football team to make a run and get into the College Football Playoff. However, two losses to the Washington Huskies—one during the regular season and the other in the Pac-12 Championship Game—prevented that from happening. Nonetheless, it’s difficult to dismiss a 12-2 season.
