Spring Game

I hear ya. Unfortunately it's about as easy to find patience in Tiger Stadium as it is to find virgins.

 

I was at that game. Made sitting in the rain watching Darth Visor put 56 (?) on us one year almost worth it.

 

'Stumbling Pevetos'? I think I saw them at the Chimes in '86.

 

And he has the same first name as Marino

 

Didn't he play at the same school as Brees?

 

And Bob Griese and Len Dawson, two other Superbowl winning QB's

 

.

Yep! 56 - 13 in 1996

None of us thought we had a prayer going into the 1997 game. We were gator chomping florida fans with a little tiger bait. My buddy, managed, some ex Florida football players who came to the game with him. They were razing him hard before the game. He gave it back to them so well after the game, I had to pull the car off the road, I was laughing so hard.

 

Herb Tyler keeping on the option running down the sideline is burned in my mind.

 

Tommy Banks scoring on a fullback trap is etched in mine. And Abram Booty's catch to seal it.

 

When I think of Abram Booty it reminds me of when he caught a game clinching pass in the end zone and took 2 steps in full control of the football before an Alabama player stripped him of the ball and ran out to almost midfield where the gumps drove for the winning TD. I've seen plenty of bad calls but that one ranks up in the top 5.
