Gary Kreis

No personal stories of Mr. Kreis, just wish him and his family comfort. When that evil crap gets in your brain, even the strongest and bravest fade.

If memory serves me correctly, he caught the touchdown that allowed us to tie UGA in 1968 in the first game on Tartan Turf on Neyland.

GBO and God bless

I will be praying he was my middle School history teacher. A good man.

I remember the same thing.

 

[1972 Grad]

I remember the same thing.

.....and Ken Delong caught the 2 point conversion to tie. What I remember about the game was that it was on the same day that Denny McLain won his 30th game for the Detroit Tigers, Jake Scott ran a punt back for Georgia 90 yards, Steve Kiner made a tackle for a safety, some Georgia running back had an 80 yard TD run, and the tying TD and 2 pt. conversion came at the end of the game on the North end of the field next to the Hill.

Lord,
One of Your children is suffering right now and things do not look real good. Lord we do not always understand Your ways, but we know that you have to power to ease all pain and provide the comfort that will help this man and his loved ones get through this terrible time. We pray for your mercy - Amen

^Amen!

I have never met anyone who had 1 bad thing to say about coach Kreis. He was a great coach and even better man.

Yes he is/was. Even if I couldn't make all of Greenback's games in a season back then, I always made sure I made the Coalfield game. That was always one of those slobber knocker games.

I hate cancer.

Dang, I was at the same game and I don't remember a fourth of whatever 1972 grad remembers. Maybe I can blame Mr. Beam (Jim). lol:

I had my Jim Beam AFTER the game, not during.
