Robert Dale Fenimore (born October 6, 1925), known as the "Blond Bomber" was a halfback for the Oklahoma A&M football team from 1943-1946. He was the first two-time All America selection from Oklahoma A&M and finished third in the Heisman voting in 1945. As a player, he set many school records, including the career interception mark of 18 which still stands at Oklahoma State today. He led the nation in total offense in 1944 and in total offense and rushing in 1945 when he finished third in the Heisman Trophy voting behind Army's Glenn Davis and Doc Blanchard. The OAMC Aggies were 8-1 in 1944 and 9-0 in 1945--the only unbeaten/untied season in Oklahoma A&M/State football history.
In 2002 Fenimore was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame.
