Proud Tiger 4,261 Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Decent article but not totally accurate. Bo didn't go to Bessemer. He went to McAdory HS which is near Bessemer. Bottomline of it all was that bama ass't coach Ken Donahue was recruiting Bo and told him he wasn't good enough to start as a freshman. That plus the wisdom of Bo's Mom makes the rest history. I saw Bo make his first run as an Auburn RB. I turned to my wife and said "this guy is special. He is going to be awesome." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, that 9/11 we unleashed a terror attack on oposing teams. Too bad Eddie Gran wasn't around then to effectively utilize the RB talents we had.

Good point, we may have seen a real life incarnation of Tecmo Bo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
