re: Memories of a bygone era....National Signing Day

That wasn’t the rumor amongst us common students though…as you can imagine.

That brings back memories…..

In ‘89 when when I was a freshman I was dating a freshman girl that was the ex boyfriend (but I’m not sure he saw it that way) of a QB recruit that same year. You probably knew him. She was a legit beauty queen…one of those that “got away” that you’ll always remember. There were several times when him and his buddies showed up at a party we were at that I thought I was about to get into it with some UGA guys. I’m not a small guy but also not in player shape. That would’ve ended badly. I became the back door man and she thought it was sexy at the time.

Also, I had friends at Chi Psi (?) so we were at a band party and a few players showed up and basically terrorized the place. I asked one of the brothers (and there were some big guys there, not like Sigma Nu or TKE) about why they didn’t stop it.

I’ll never forget his comment….”yeah, we could’ve ganged up and kicked their arse…but then they’ll go down and empty McWhorter and the LAST thing I want is Hiawatha Berry showing up in my front door”.

Fun times.
