So let me get this straight. He had good enough grades to be accepted and to get walk on invite, but he didn't have the grades to be offered a scholly?



Good enough grades to qualify as an athlete but not to win an academic scholly or anything.

Does it make you feel good to tell a bunch of strangers a super uninteresting fact about your dad?

Cool story. My dad played high school football when they were still wearing leather helmets. Late '40s in Falkville, AL. Got pics. Couldnt afford college. Still did well by our family. Still kickin arse and takin names. Just hates when Bama plays night games because he normally goes to bed at 8pm.
