WarEagle1982

I was there that night. Really up and down game. UGA had a 10 point lead, AU took a 10 point lead, UGA ties it and sends it to OT (Terrance Edwards BARELY stepped out of bounds or they would have won in regulation). OT was the Rudy/Ben Leard show. Fun night on the Plains.

I was there for that one. It was on a Thursday night and not even a sellout. That’s also the game in which Rashard Gilyard completely knocked the helmet off the receiver from Wyoming. And...if memory serves me correctly this was also the night they began the tradition of flying the eagle before kickoff.

The 14 Arkansas game was pretty bad in the nosebleeds. My sunscreen was literally melting off my body and puddling at my feet! Went to the restroom and there were several people in the concourse near the point of passing out. Then a huge storm rolled in, had an hour and a half delay and sat and got soaked in the 2nd half. Oh, and Jeremy Johnson started because Marshall was suspended for the first half and made everyone think he was going to be an All American. Weird day!!!!

1988 AU vs Tennessee at Auburn. I was 8 years old. My grandfather who was the reason I grew up on Auburn football took us. He passed away in a car accident just a little over 2 years later. AU won that game 38-6. I am pretty sure that was the day Carlo Cheatham knocked Reggie Cobb completely out. May have been Dye’s most talented team overall.

Danley was definitely a tough dude. My favorite was the 88 Iron Bowl when he got completely knocked out by Spencer Hammond (in today's game Hammond would have been ejected for helmet to helmet and Danley would have been put under concussion protocol). It was said that he would not return to the game, but he did return a couple of drives later and ripped off a huge run on what would be the only touchdown drive for AU in a 15-10 victory that secured a Sugar Bowl birth. A close second were his runs late in the 89 Iron Bowl that helped lead to two FG drives. Broken tackles and him getting up and motioning for the crowd to get louder still sends chills up my spine! Confirms what Pat Dye said about Bama never having a chance in that game.

Probably would have been when they played at Clemson in 2011.

Ha, ha! Not that I know of. Maybe that’s why the ball boy is always sprinting down the sideline. He hears Gus yelling “Touchdown!!!”

I coach high school ball and we think having 9 headsets in our system is huge. 😂😂😂

I have some connections close to Chip in the high school coaching ranks. Word is he has said if he had it to do over he would never work under an offensive minded HC that is so paranoid about turning loose of the reigns.

I remember he had 4 sacks in the 88 Iron Bowl including one for a safety. The announcers that day were talking about how he wore a size 20 shoe and a size 8 helmet!

Got an opportunity to attend the banquet yesterday. If you ever get the opportunity to attend do so. It is a fantastic event for the top players in the state. I was very impressed.

Didn’t Trickett coach the OL under Buster Brown Bowden in the 90s?

Which direction do they go now? Needs to be a quick hire. Stacy Searels? Currently OL Coach at The U. Any good NFL guys out of a job currently?

Buuuut....Sabear doesn't recruit people with low character.
