What a surprise!

I was just reading an article on Inside the Auburn Tigers and this team picture was included. What a surprise to see my Dad looking at me. Sitting front and center, #11. While they identified the picture as being from the late 1930's, it was in fact a picture of the 1944 team.

Thanks David for hosting.

Sorry, I couldn't resist. His name is Johnny Jones. Not one of the legends, but he did play for AU and didn't raise any bammers.

Gusty Yearouts father is also pictured.

Neat picture, Mike. Just out of curiosity, do you still have any of his old jerseys or equipment? That has to be a family heirloom.

My brothers and I wore the jersey to bare threads, playing backyard football.
