The week before we played Texas in Austin Jackie Sherrill took the team over to the vet school to see a bull get castrated. We spanked Texas a few days later.

Wasn’t ‘93 Bowden? Or do you mean ‘83?

Dye wasn’t even the coach in ‘93 ding dong!

Richt and Dye might be the only one's on the list in a potential SEC legend conversation.
Maybe McClendon.
John Vaught never won an AP or UPI NC.
Honorable Mention for a true legend: Mike Leach
