The most important win was a 10-0 win over Alabama to secure the 1987 SEC Championship. He finished his NCAA career with 4,082 passing yards and 24 touchdown passes.

The 4th Down throw he made to Trey Gainous was put in the only spot he could put it in and he did it with bullets flying all around him. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was clearly a catch but I remember thinking the refs were gonna screw us and call it incomplete Might have been a 10 yarder Edited December 9, 2022 by jluvah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnyAU 3,628 Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Looking forward to hearing Jason, but I'll miss Stan. He and Nix were QB's when I was at Auburn. Put Takeo Spikes on the sidelines and mic him up during the game. I'd listen to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 4th Down throw he made to Trey Gainous was put in the only spot he could put it in and he did it with bullets flying all around him. I predicted that play. We had run it earlier in the season during a critical 3rd and medium. I had remembered Pat Dye talking about it on the review show. It was our go-to critical play, but we had rarely done it. It was a pick play. The slot WR (Gainous) went in motion, and at the snap went upfield until he was past the line to gain, then cut in on a crossing route. At the same time, the TE on the opposite time did a crossing route the opposite direction, screening the defender covering the slot WR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t experience the 70s (I was born in 1980), but experiencing AU football as a youth in the 80s was amazing! It was a great time to be born into the Auburn world. My early heroes were Burger, Slack, Tillman, Rocker, Stallworth, Danley, Joseph, Ace Wright, Crain, Cheatham, Morris, and others!!!

Yes, jump right up and show your age: The only lyrics I and most could understand were: Louie Louie, oh no Me gotta go Aye-yi-yi-yi, I said Louie Louie, oh baby Me gotta go It was considered a risqué song back in the day warranting a FBI investigation. The legend of the Kingsmen’s “Louie Louie” has been told almost as many times as the song itself has been covered. (There’s no accurate count for either, but both must number in the thousands.) First released in May of 1963, and then re-released that October, the Kingsmen’s version climbed to No. 2 on the Billboard singles chart. The song’s popularity among a new generation of rock-and-roll teen-agers brought it to the attention of some concerned citizens. One of them, the father of a teen-age girl, wrote to Robert Kennedy, who was then the Attorney General, to complain about the song’s possible obscenity, prompting an F.B.I. investigation. “This land of ours is headed for an extreme state of moral degradation,” the incensed parent wrote to Kennedy. (Remember this the next time someone tries reminiscing to you about the good old days before pop music was full of sex and vulgarities.) Several possible versions of the song’s lyrics, included with the F.B.I.’s report, do make for a rather startling read. In the second verse, for instance, Ely might sing, “At night at ten / I lay her again / **** you girl, oh / All the way.” Or perhaps his words are more onanistic: “Every night and day / I play with my thing / **** your girl / All kinds of ways.” The F.B.I. investigation dragged on through 1965, with each laboratory examination of the record deemed inconclusive: no one could determine what Ely was singing, so the record couldn’t be declared obscene. Ben F. Waple, the secretary of the Federal Communications Commission (F.C.C.), wrote to Wand Records, which was responsible for the October, 1963, pressing of the record, to ask “whether, even though unobjectionable lyrics were used in recording the song, there was improper motivation on the part of the singers … in making the recorded lyrics so unintelligible as to give rise to reports that they were obscene.” https://www.newyorker.com/culture/cultural-comment/jack-ely-louie-louie-the-dirtiest-song-of-the-sixties Edited January 27, 2023 by I_M4_AU 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
