That bowl win over a good Georgia team finally gave the football program some legitimacy and provided a springboard to a lot of its success in the middle of the decade. Plus it was a pretty exciting game.Bravesbillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18132085833230451082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-72561169100460212382014-12-10T10:29:40.326-05:002014-12-10T10:29:40.326-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Bravesbillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18132085833230451082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-76248646230025795662014-12-10T09:55:22.006-05:002014-12-10T09:55:22.006-05:00I think I'll speak for the dead here.

Also I would rate higher the wins in #16 Georgia (2001 Music City)<br />#17 Georgia (1986 Hall of Fame). Considering we beat good Ga. teams in what were home games for them. Great exercize though. It never ceases to amaize me the effort you put in Bill. I bet in terms of game atmosphere the Pinstripe will rank in the upper half.Hoibhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12681823413809048599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-56351885840823173162014-12-10T09:03:36.421-05:002014-12-10T09:03:36.421-05:00Leather D, unbelievable memory that you just broug...Leather D, unbelievable memory that you just brought up.

This was the infamous "better athletes" Trev Alberts prediction of a big Toledo win pregame, followed by BC scoring TDs on its first six possessions. We were up 42-7 AT THE HALF IIRC, and it should have been worse. A remarkable pass block and diving one-handed interception deep in Toledo territory by one of our D-linemen was missed by the refs late in the half. <br /><br />The halftime studio broadcast opened with a chortling studio crew replaying the exuberant pregame prediction and then cutting to an absolutely crimson Trev Alberts, who sputtered "I should be better than this..."<br /><br />If anyone has a full tape of this game including pregame and halftime kicking around, I will pay cash money for a copy.
