Vince introduced Hershel to the Vols in the 2nd half of a game at Neyland.

TN was up 15-0.

Hershel won that game and introduced himself to Bill Bates.

Dawgs 16 Vols 15

Quite the show in 1982. Dawgs went on to take the title.

This should help to rekindle warm memories of Hershel Walker in Georgia.

Only an unfeeling cad would dishonor this dying man's wish.

Ok, at least you didn’t show “Run, Lindsey, Run”.

Vince Dooley did at least one campaign commercial for Hershel shortly before he died. It is very good.

see my link at post two, here above

Remember the big Wellstone funeral shindig? If I were Hershel I’d be very, very respectful (which he naturally is) but I wouldn’t over play it like the dems with Wellstone.

Georgia plays Florida tomorrow.

If you have never had a chance to see the Georgia Buck Belue to Lindsay Scott long pass (over 90 yards) with a minute to go in the game against Florida from that era (1980), go look at that video and listen to the play-by-play. Georgia won that game by 26 to 21. I thought my house was going to collapse from all the jumping and yelling.

I suspect that play will re-played tomorrow several times.

Great coaches no matter the team are national treasures just like great generals and admirals.

I just now had to watch that video again.   What a tower of a man to look up to.

I mean Vince Dooley of course , yet by extension, I mean Herschel Walker too.
