My dad was a UA grad from the early 60's and a huge football fan. Not every game was televised back in the 70's when I was a kid, so every Saturday, even if we were at the game, we had John Forney on the transistor radio.
I've loved football for as long as I can remember, so I can't pinpoint exactly when I became hooked, but I know the moment when I realized I was hooked. January 1st 1982, and I had just turned ten. Bama took a 10 point lead into the 4th quarter against Texas in the Cotton Bowl but gave up two TD's. Walter Lewis still had a chance to win it but threw an interception on the one yard line with about a minute left. I was crushed. Heartbroken. You know you're hooked when a loss hurts like that.
