I COMPLAINED BECAUSE I HAD NO SHOES UNTIL
I MET A MAN WHO HAD NO FEET.
SINCE I WAS A CBY TIME WE HAD A LEFT OFT
THAT WAS 6’2 AND WEIGHTED A BIG 212. WE
WON THE SWC RIGHT TO THE COTTON BOWL
IN 1976. WE PLAYED MARY. TERPS AND THEIR
RIGHT DT WAS ALL EVERYTHING. WAS ABOUT
6’4" AND 250. OUR LOT HAD A BAD SHIN AND
DR ? WORKED ON HIM EVERYDAY HE AND MY
BUDDY TOM WILSON. THIS FRAIL LT WITH THE
BAD LEG HANDLED THIS ALL AMERICAN LIKE
HE WAS A LITTLE PUP. HE (DRT) WAS LIKE A NO
SHOW. I ALWAYS SAID CAN;T IS NOT IN MY
VACAB. ONE OF THE REASONS CBY USED THE
VEAR WAS ON A LOT OF PLAYS LINEMEN
JUST HAD TO BRUSH BLOCK
HE RECRUITED A LOT OF TALL TOO THIN
BUT QUICK PLAYERS. TURNED THEM TO TOM AND TWO YEARS LATTER WE HAD A PLAYER.
NO FANCY MACHINES JUST WEIGHTS TOM USE
TO SAY IF THE BAR IS NOT BENDING ADD MORE WEIGHTS BILLY WILL COULD MAKE A GOOD
LINEMAN OUT OF THESE TALL TOO THIN ATH.
