First memory is 1971, the year Sullivan won the Heisman.

Bitterly disappointed when Bama beat us 31-7.

The second memory is "punt bama punt" in 1972.

Listening to Gary Sanders and Gusty Yearout on the radio as a kid.

My first game was 1973 UT Chatt 31-0 Auburn. Afterwards my uncle(1952 Alum- not a multimillion dollar donor) took my brother and I into the locker room and the players signed out program.

I remember going to September games at Jordan Hare for 1 dollar in 1979 and 1980.

So I was hooked because of Sullivan to Beasley. Stuck with AU during the 70's and then went to AU as a student in 1982. Bo was there for my 4 years on campus.

Even being a bama fan, I envied what Sullivan and Beasley were able to do on the field and thoroughly enjoyed watching them do it when we were not playing
