All I got out of it.
1. Dirtbag got shot
2. Hoppe shot at him
I’m sure BH suffered.
Weird ending.
Some body else did it.

Story about an Auburn great I had never heard. I couldn't imagine living with the thought that I killed someone. Can't believe that actually prosecuted him for it.

My Mom was at Auburn at the time. She said that a lot of that story was fictional...............meaning people around Auburn didn't know he did it.
She was dating a football player at the the time and said football player told her to stay as far away from Bobby as she possibly could. Dude carried a pistol with him everywhere he went.
ETA are you carrying around a pistol if you remorsefully killed somebody already?

Outside of some cool old Auburn footage, it was weird.

If I take off the orange and blue glasses, it looks like he killed the dirt bag.
The dirtbag shot at his sister. The dirtbag dated his sister.
Bobby knew the guy. Most people are killed by people they know.
My theory: Bobby and Hudson were going to end up with one of them dead at some point.
I think Hoppe shot Hudson.
I think Hudson was a dirtbag.
Justice, equity, and fairness are not the same concepts.
Justice: Bobby shot Hudson
Equity: the world was better off without Hudson
Fairness: Hudson tormented Hope’s sister. What goes around comes around.

Yeah, I only enjoyed the stuff about Shug and all the things his players said about him and some of the footage.
The Hoppe stuff was just bizarre.
Everyone agrees the guy killed was a menace. Why would anyone bother with it 31 years later?

I'll have to watch this film - I'd heard the story before, in bits and pieces (one of my uncles was at API at the time). One of the people quoted in the story goes to my church, I don't know if he was in the doc.

Accurate and I believe Hoppe hunted him down as opposed to the, he came up on me with no lights and a gun pointed at me.
That was the, I need to tell my wife version, "I did it, but my life was in danger" version.

You may be right.
Even if you kill someone justly, it has to take something from you.
Some of Bobby Hoppe died that night too.
It also sounded like the local police sort of pretended to investigate and called it early as a “bootleg deal gone sideways.”
I’m not sure why ESPN/SEC wanted this aired, but it was interesting that the entire Auburn team deboarded a train to make the conductor allow their Superfan and black man aboard.

Yes and Hoppe lead the boycott. He and Hodge were good friends. Hodge they said was an Auburn super fan...
That was a cool story.

It's times like this, I wish my Grandfather was still alive to tell the story.
My Granddad played on Shug's first freshman team. Blew his knee out on a punt return against Georgia. Shug kept him on scholarship and turned him into a coach and recruiter.
WW2 broke out and everyone went to war. After the war
Granddad was coaching High School ball in Birmingham when Shug called and told him "I've just been named Head Coach at Auburn. I need help."
He started recruiting in June of 1951 and was still recruiting in 1958. In a meeting with Granddad, me and Shug ....they both laughed saying the 1956, 57 and 58
teams were the toughest and best they ever had.
It would be nice to know if he recruited Hoppe and what he thought of him. After all, his major coup was the recruitment of Bobby Freeman.
