Grats Peay, but those playoff points Fox racked up with all those wins gonna make it tough to dethrone her.

I'm in 5th place !!!

Yes. Though he and Stanback had slipped my mind. Prob had the same reaction to them picking up Johnson at WR as I did them drafting Pearce and Walker in same draft. Billy J was a huge get in those days even if he was winding down his career in ATL. I would visit different CoC congregations...

Yep. Seems he had a formula in his head based on needs, Went mid-west and new jersey for linemen. west coast for speed, etc. Atleast that's how my mind wants to remember it.

A true Craig Faulkner style receiver. Faulkner was the go to man when you absolutley positively had to have a possession catch for a first down.

I don't think he asked to stay that night and got turned down.

That list would be far shorter than careers protected by KPD.

Like Gault, alot of those 80's receivers ran track including Hankcock. Hancock helped recruit McGee to UT from his HS.

With one hand...one his tippie toes while cross stepping. Seriously though, is there not something that can be done for the poor boy. Vol legend. Thor is scared of him. Relegated to Antioch delivering furniture. Apparently his legend did come from the classroom.

Living well over half my life in middle or NE GA, I was never over 3 hours away from Clemson. Clemson has always been a fantastic classroom school. Even better now like you say. Very research oriented. Ag probably leads the pack. Beautiful campus, much like some NE schools in some ways...

Agreed. GT could have pressured Dodd to chill and didn't. Especially since they all knew what was going to happen when they pulled out. And that's where I personally think Saban was so much better than Bear. Saban knew these kids would have a short sports life overall, and cared what...

I've been a die hard Vol fan for a long long time. But, I've never been a Vol or die fan. I always enjoyed UGA on the side cause dad worked for them and we'd get an occasional game and it was Vince Dooley in my day. And you couldn't live in GA then and go against Lewis Grizzard. lol. Or GT...

That Prop 140 would have caused him to take scholly's away from some players that were getting a GT education even though they never got a piece of dirt on the uniform ouside practice. And they probably wouldn't have been able to stay in school on their own. So, he did put schooling high on...

Dodd was quite uppity publically about having to travel to play the mississippi schools and some others. He thought they were inferior to the GT brand as he perceived it. I think voting was close, but he was very pointed about having to play UM and MsSt. and their votes definitely kept GT out...

Silver Skillet was legendary as I recall. Our HS had alot of grads in my time go to GT. Back in my day, it was the only choice in GA if you wanted to stay home and get a top notch textile degree without going to a Carolina school. On par if not better than NC State for textiles. My hometown...
