I worked in the sports information department and traveled to keep stats for the JV games, Went to Fort Benning in 1978 or '79 and the Doughboys QB was Leamon Hall who actually had finished fourth in the Heisman voting when he was QB for Army. You blog brought back great memories. <br />-- Mike Bolton<br />Mike Boltonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9100434.post-11064095237575033702010-01-29T22:32:06.125-06:002010-01-29T22:32:06.125-06:00Thanks for the comment.

Great story and great writing style. Read yo...Jay, <br />Great story and great writing style. Read your blog via a common friend on Facebook....and I've added you. Hopefully...you'll return in kind. <br />I can relate to the fading memory, though I am little younger than you....thus....JV football and the Bear were "the good old days" in '85 when I was recruited by Perkins and signed with Bama. <br />The crossovers between your crew and mine that I recall would have been Hardy, Biscuit, Joe Godwin (granpa), Coach Mac (then John MacIntosh) they were the seniors who must have been wide-eyed recruits when you were there. <br />I was in the class with Larry Rose, Gene Jelks, Bobby Humphrey, Derrick Thomas etc.....<br />How I wish we'd have had a JV. You can imagine how bad it sucks to run scout team daily and your only reward is more scout team and the Lower Gym. My moral suffered almost as much as my grades and I turned in the cleat to Mr. Meadows after my first A-Day game..... in hopes of graduating....which I did in 3 1/2 years. <br />I still have fond memories of Bama Football.... especially my record when suiting up. <br />I am 1-0 wearing the Crimson and White, running out that tunnel and standing on the sidelines as we beat the Cincinnati Bearcats. 45-something.Trayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12486338222032010691noreply@blogger.com
