Lenny Patrick was a monster on that drive.

The wishbone is my favorite offense of all time

Kentucky had him first. A lot of those wins were ours.

Was this before or after LSU forced him into retirement with that arse beating in T-Town and eventually his death there after?

When we played Walker in HS, we had at least two guys spy him on every play. He was ready to kill someone by the end of the game.He was drilled whether they threw the ball 40 yards to the WR.

I remember this well. Years later, the NCAA added several wins to Pop Warner's record, giving him 319 wins, more than AA Stagg. Of course, by then, Bryant had 323. Meaning, Pop Warner had the most all-time wins of any coach, but never held the NCAA record.

And died the next year. Isn't it ironic? Don't you think?

Bear Bryant was the GOAT.


After Jan 9, let the new round of debates begin!

I was only stating what I have always heard. Might be true or just pure speculation. Will you buy me a peanut butter shake?

That is debatable and I would respect anyone's opinion on it either way.

One of the last great golfers in history was on the verge of setting all the majors' records when he fell just short.
