I must be getting old. Does anyone else remember George Bevan blocking the extra point to win back in the '60s? Sullivan and Beasley played for a very good Auburn team.
Are you sure it wasn't Mike Anderson? Maybe Anderson made a key tackle on a goal line stand. Was that the game where Charley Mac used some trickery and scored on the first play of the game. Maybe a halfback pass? I believe Sullivan and Beasley played 69,70, and 71. They were an awesome combination. I really enjoyed watching them kill Tennessee every year. I guess we're both getting old.
I thought it was Bill Thompson, the third LB that blocked the extra point in the 21-20 win at Tiger Stadium in '69. I was at that game, sitting around midfield. But I thought on the Sun. night replay it was Thompson. Bevan and Anderson were the other 2 LB, both made all american, Bevan in 69, I thought Anderson was 70. That was a great game, by the best LSU team between the 58 and 03 champions. They finished 9-1 (probably lost to Ole Miss, Manning?), were ranked #3, and apparently headed to Dallas to face #1 Texas in the Cotton Bowl. Notre Dame decided to change their policy and accept a bowl bid for the first time in history, and naturally, the Cotton Bowl invited them. Longhorns beat the #9 Irish 21-17. Louisiana fans always said they were afraid to play #3 LSU and tarnish their nat. championship. In 1963 LSU beat a #1 Longhorn team in the Cotton. Cotton Bowl Link LSU was invited by the Peach Bowl, and declined to play in it and sat home instead of bowling. I heard the players voted not to play the bowl, doubt if that would happen today.
why in god's name would anyone get married during football season? or baseball season? that's what the off season is for. helloooooo.... july is the time to take care of that kind of nonsense. /rant
Anybody remember an Auburn player by the name of Ansel Rosegreen? I believe he played safety back about 3-5 years ago. He goes to my gym and I talk to him often. Real cool guy. He believes that the Auburn QB is going to be really good, although he is inexperienced.
Is he Junior Rosegreen? That dude was a big hitter and a headhunting safety. He took out Reggie Brown a couple years ago in a sick hit.
yep, "Junior" Rosegreen was a stud safety on AU's '04 championship team. He's best known for the hit on the UGA receiver (Brown), but he also made a key INT in the SECC game against Tennessee that year
