WarEagle1982

The 1988 Tennessee game was my first AU game. It was about 2 weeks after my 8th birthday. My late grandfather, who was killed in a car accident a little over 2 years after that, took me. I was definitely hooked for good after that!

https://youtu.be/LDHPPv2JvNQ I found this on YouTube. Still one of my favorite AU teams. Damn that loss at LSU though!

Former Miami Dolphins and Auburn defensive back Calvin Jackson has died. The South Florida Sun Sentinel reported on Monday the 48-year-old died after an illness. Jackson’s big moment at Auburn came in a 38-35 victory over fourth-ranked Florida in the seventh game of the Tigers’ undefeated 1993 season. Jackson intercepted Florida quarterback Danny Wuerffel with Auburn trailing 10-0 in t

If Florida had not won that game they would have finished 5-6. Instead they were 6-5. The UGA team they lost to at home (Between the Hoses game) was also not very good and was playing with a backup QB. Then our guys turn around and beat a good Bama team that was ranked as high as #2 during the season. Very inconsistent year.

I agree. I would be in favor of playing Florida over Tennessee. I always loved the game with the Gators.

That one was pretty embarrassing because they got manhandled. I still say the 1986 team losing to unranked Florida and unranked Georgia was as bad or worse. Those were their only losses and both of those teams were very mediocre.

He never actually played at JHS. His Sr. year at Bama was the year before the first game at Auburn.

Ohatchee. There’s some dang good HS football played over in that part of Alabama.

Here’s a name that hasn’t been mentioned yet. In 1994 Terrell Davis was a bit of an unknown at UGA. He had a solid game at JHS in the 23-23 tie that year. I think he’s an NFL Hall of Famer. 😉

I had thought about Dwight Freeney the other day. They played against him at the dome when they got spanked up there in 2001.

Does anyone remember Karsten Bailey having to score, with under a minute left, on a crazy out route where he broke a few tackles to beat them 10-6 on Homecoming in 1998? Gabe Gross threw the pass.

He was a part of that 85 Bears defense

Also, Wilber Marshall from Florida was a standout College and NFL linebacker.

In all seriousness I would add Mike Rozier at RB from Nebraska.

You mean Freddie Kitchens didn’t make the list? 😂😂😂
