Gonna go back even further, to the first black QB in AU history: Charles Thomas



And it was tough for him. I remember the fans booing him, and cheering the Sullivan legacy Joe Sullivan when he went in. I remember reading Thomas said he almost quit over that fan reaction.

I think it was the same year Barfield lost to Tenn 42-0 when we dedicated the new upper deck.
Barfield was on the downswing after that year....

But Thomas was a pretty good left handed QB, if I can remember.

Most miserable game I ever attended. Hot as hell and over at halftime.

It was pretty much a given after UGa beat us in the DSOR that the IB would be Barfield’s last game, even in the event of a stunning upset. Which of course didn’t happen.
