Wasn't born then but I remember when we were celebrating the 1984 team one season Hold said he really thought they had built something sustainable but it all fell a part. Yeah a few years later we had some respectable 8-4 seasons but I guess the steroid scandal derailed everything correct? And then we joined the SEC and we weren't even close to an SEC level team, both in talent and relative facilities correct?

Correct.

We were so outclassed on every level. Coaching, facilities, talent.

But we had great fans and a large stadium and we had potential .... a lot of credit goes back to Paul Dietzel.

We had the will and desire and those traits were palatable.
