AU80cruiser 1,102 Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Bo is the guy I remember hearing my family talk about when I was too young to care. Bostic and Davis were the ones I remember paying attention to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him, Reggie Slack and Alexander Wright we’re really my first taste of Auburn Football as an 80s kid. So you are a youngster. I have Auburn hats, jackets, sweatshirts, and underwear older than you. Brilliant move pulling Golf in to run this ship straight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football on the radio was awesome! The college recap show on Sunday was almost all of the television we had back in the day. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll start: Terry Henley So the Greater Birmingham Auburn Club just had their annual banquet. Terry Henley was awarded the best athlete award... He said he showed up for his official visit and: 1. Mac Crawford met him at Sewell Hall and gave him a $20 bill. He said he left 2 days later with $18. 2. He said when he left on Sunday his pocket was full of "girls' numbers" and "I knew I needed to have more of that." 3. At the very end of his speech he got VERY EMOTIONAL and said "I'll never give back what Auburn gave to me, and I am forever grateful. I believe in work, hard work." 4. Those who don't know should goggle Terry's stats. He was a complete FREAK. At least 5 guys from the 72 team were there for him. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icanthearyou 4,464 Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 (edited) Got my first shoulder pads from Terry Henley in Montgomery (and an autographed photo). Wore those shoulder pads with a cut off Pat Sullivan jersey underneath for 5th through 8th grade. I was the worst triple option QB in the history of football. I still remember Mickey Zofko getting hurt on a kick return in his first NFL game. Edited October 7, 2023 by icanthearyou 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUINSY 2,228 Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Bo Jackson. I was just a wee lad, and my dad took a few courses as a bammer, so I didn’t like Bo b/c my dad was trying to make me a bammer and it was the height of the BO KNOWS campaigns. Forgive me for my sins, Auburn faithful. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
au1985 55 Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Mickey Zofko and Terry Henley from 1970. 1970 Auburn Alabama game was the first game I remember. It was on the radio. Still have a picture with Terry Henley in the Auburn dressing room after the 1972 Georgia Game. I was 9 years old. Players were beating on their wooden lockers yelling "Go to Hell Alabama Go to Hell". Great times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
