Lewis Grizzard was a great newspaper columnist/humorist. He was a huge georgia fan, and wrote a story about a football game against Georgia and South carolina. Georgia had a player with the last name of Dicks, who was injured and would not play in the game....hence, the title.
He did not write only about georgia, but was really a fun read. He also wrote a bunch of books that would be entertaining to read.

These are just a few examples of his books. His style reminded me a bit of Paul harvey, for some reason. just good folksey humor.
Unfortunately he died way too young.

I saw where another Georgia fan said it didn't really happen. I do remember him writing about it or telling it.

Here is a link to some YouTube videos of him. Not sure if he translates well in sound. I was only used to reading his column and books.

Lewis was a Southern Treasure. Last of his kind I'm afraid.

Lewis Grizzard is an American treasure, especially to a true son of the South!

Ok it’s a Lewis Grizzard story. Read a couple of his books years ago. He was a great writer. Just never heard of this story.
I apologize to Jimdog for thinking he was shitefaced

I would have rather you allow me to labor on in ignorance confident that ole Louis slipped one by a drunken editor. Happy Dicks, a true all time All SEC name for the ages is a friend of my delivery doc friend here in Cols (Ole Hap is a delivery doc himself). And of course Doctor Dicks perpetrates the rumor. And I prefer to continue believing it to the extent that I repeat it along.

Love the part in Elvis is dead about him hearing of Elvis death while drinking beer at Hilton Head.

No
Great story and Lewis never shied away from it.
Dicks actually played in the game and had 9 tackles.
