boomstick 1,315 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 I pretended I was Tyrone Goodson way too many times playing interception in the back yard. And I probably kicked the Jaret Holmes game-winning FG between two pines trees in my back yard 1,000 times. Those two guys stick out to me as extremely memorable in my childhood because I was just getting old enough to really understand and love football. So I'll go with those two guys.

It's hanging in my guest room closet at the moment. Probably over ten years now and I still haven't framed it yet. ??♀️ My sister and her bf (at the time) went through a ton of connections to get him to sign it. It made my Christmas morning!

The Plainsman 948 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Ron O'Neal. He went through more tear away jersey than anyone... That was the beginning of my interest and love for AU football. Later in in the years,. I especially liked Jerraud Powers. He was not flashy at all,. But was always always around the ball and a super smart player.

AUpreacherman22 3,885 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 I talked about Brett Eddins the other day. AUsome guy!!! Also, maybe Jarrod Powers would qualify for this list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey 16,578 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Bobby Strickland, 1968 '69 '70. Former walkon QB that Coach Jordan moved to linebacker and was the surest, meanest tackler I've ever seen. He was almost never caught out of position, it seemed he could sense what play was coming before the ball was snapped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weagl1 1,782 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 David Langner played football the way I always thought it should be played. Also James Brooks. Neither were all that big but they were going to bring everything they had on every play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off topic but it makes me think of how lucky I was to get Ronnie Brown's signature. The Caddy and Ronnie lines never moved. I was walking by the table where Ronnie was before we left and was just looking. I looked at my dad and said "man I wish I could get Ronnie to sign my helmet". A few seconds later this older man that was 3rd in line grabbed me by the shoulder and pulled me in front of him. It was arguably my greatest line break of all time lol.

lost 452 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 One of my favorites was Brent Fullwood..... Drafted the same Year as Bo, Jessie and Tommie Aggie, sometimes i think he is forgotten. His speed was not far behind Bo's. He was tough as nails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcgufcm 4,096 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Ben Obomanu. He was one of the most mature, stand-up guys I had the privilege of knowing in college. He's a little younger than me, but I learned from watching him deal with adversity as a true sophomore. Totally lost touch now, but he was a friend in college. Plus, he could ball. Loved watching him truly break out in 2005. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
