My life is really boring….

Post by 2kidsthere »

The past two Saturday afternoons I’ve resorted to watching “old” college football games on YouTube. The sad part of this is that it’s been great watching ‘um.

What has my life become…

I've been known to do that.

Yeah, I feel you. I refuse to take the 2016 - 2018 UT-Vandy games off the DVR despite my wife asking me about them every few months. You know, you're filling up the DVR and I need to save Forrest Gump and Commando so can you please erase them. What she doesn't realize is I have a psychological need to see Vandy beat UT in football from time to time and I'm not sure when that will happen again. I locked them so they aren't "accidentally" deleted. :D

Ok, I'm (almost) embarrassed to admit that I have watched an entire 43 video dynasty where a guy took Vanderbilt to multiple national championships. I could have put it on easy and done it myself but this was more fun as this guy actually had rules like how many 4 star recruits he was allowed to pursue and he couldn't just switch to himself to take over. When is the Hawaii game? It can't get here soon enough. :D

Gosh, guys, June and July are the worst!! No Vandy sports and it’s too hot to go to my beach here in Navarre, FL!! When we moved from Nashville in January, 2021, I had return my DVR to AT&T. Broke my heart. I lost ALL of my favorite games that I wore out: Basketball—LSU with Saben wearing it out, beating #1 ut, and FL, KY with John Jenkins, triple baseball steal against FL, football 2008. Sorry to bore you. Come on, Vandy football. I’ve never been more ready.

I was at that game. At one point after we'd run it down the field, a bama fan stood up and said "yall can't do that, you are a passing team. you can't run it on us." I said "looks like we can." He just growled at me. Afterwards he turned and said "yall have a good team." Little did we know we'd win just one more.

Little did he know Bama would go 5-6 for the season. The week before the Iron Bowl, Ray Perkins was asked how long it took to turn a program around on his weekly call in show. He replied 4-5 years. The caller said, “Congratulations, you did it in two”. Pulling an upset and knocking the other guys out of the Sugar Bowl helped take some heat off.

That was my first football season in Nashville and I thought it was a signal for better things on West End. Wasn’t to be.

What memories!! My sister and I were watching my son play pee wee football and listened on our transistor. After the game, we met the family at Opryland. They like Auburn, too, and they beat ut that day. We celebrated all afternoon!! I remember meeting the team at the airport. Also, my parents and sister drove to Ole Miss the next Saturday where we got clobbered. When I substitute taught in Nashville, I always looked up Kurt Page at Hillwood High School. Thank you for that game. Who’s #27? I want to say Carl Woods, but I’m not sure.

Looking back at that game, it's a wonder we won given how many big mistakes we made in the first 40 minutes or so of the contest.

A friend of mine and I were driving to see some friends in Kentucky that Saturday afternoon, and listening to the game on AM radio in the car. We were going wild but also hoping we wouldn't lose reception before the end of the game!

I wish someone could tell me why the athletic department took down so many of the old videos from the past, including all of the ReVealed videos. I've emailed and asked and have never received a response.

Wow, so great to see Kurt Page, Everett Crawford, Carl "Goo Baby" Woods, Manuel Young and others. I still feel like I remember that roster and so many plays from the season. I'll never forget that game because my parents left me in Nashville with my grandparents so they could attend the game while I had to watch it on TV. But they took me the next week to watch this great ranked, undefeated team go down at home to an 0-4 Tulane squad. :roll:

Thanks for the memories.

Sad thing is, that Tulane game wasn't as close as the final score indicates. We were dominated.
