Nice thread. Few people will listen to it because of it's length, but it contains a ton of truthful insight into college football during that time. I've heard most of Coach Sherrill's stories from other former players and coaches before so I know they're accurate. I know a number of former Bryant players and they've got stories that'll keep you laughing...some of his asst. coaches were very colorful, too!

Thanks bro. I was always a fan of Jackie. I was just becoming a football fan when he was coach at MSU. I really admired the old school guys. Jackie, Gene and Pat come to mind.

Good morning. Yeah thought you guys might like that.

I remember some years back in another interview with Jackie as he recalled a moment during a game. He said he walked up to Bear Bryant and said "Coach, I can make that play." And Bryant looked at him and said "Then get your arse in there." Lol
