Hey Buc, who was the color man for Ed T? Non other than Bill Munday, the man that coined the pharse \"the land of milk & honey\" for the end zone. Lots of great menories. My first game was as a freshman against the mighty Maryland Terps with the two Modulesky (sp) boys \"Little Mo and Mighty Mo two all americans tackles. Dawgs won as the Terps melted in the Athens heat that early Sept. afternoon in 1950. How I love the Old Dawgs, silver britches, red long sleeve jerseys and black high top shoes and ofcourse silver helmets. How I miss those old days,UGA had an enrolment of about 5000 at that time and Athens had that real small town feel that no longer is present. Guess I have lived too long. As always, GO DAWGS!!!!!!!!~!!!

DawgDoc, the most pleasant memories of my life concerning football were in the 50's. Back then it was Notre Dame, Michigan, Maryland and those bullies that resided above the Mason/Dixon. Liked it when UGA gave those boys in Michigan a lesson, you know of what I speak, the black-eyed peas boys.
While I was not there as you were (attending UGA) . . . . my family made sure that I was aware of Athens. I was out there playing for Forest Park High School and Coach Al Jeffreys. Coach AJ was without a doubt one of the most influential persons in my life. He played on those teams in the early 40's that believed in what the \"southern schools\" could and would do later on.
Another person in my life that meant more than can be said here in words was, Dr. Bill Brown. He was with the University until he retired in the 70's. (My Uncle's entire professional life) His family had the \"great seats\" but he was not beyond sharing. Dr. Brown, or \"Bill\" as he preferred to be called, loved the University of Georgia and did so much for so many during his life.
One more person on my Mom's side, my Grandfather, Fred Brown, no relation to Dr. Bill Brown was an engineer on the Gainesville Midland. Ran his engine from time to time on the tracks in Athens and Winder. Coal burners, another time, a time that is cherished by me and some members of my immediate family.
DawgDoc, I guess this statement by you is what started my motor running . . .
How I miss those old days,UGA had an enrollment of about 5000 at that time and Athens had that real small town feel that no longer is present. Guess I have lived too long. As always, GO DAWGS!!!!!!!!~!!!
From one Dawg to another . . . . hoping that you have another 10,000 posts for those of us that appreciate HISTORY and the UGA. Along with you I say GO DAWGS!!!!!!!!~!!!

RabunDog,
Welcome.
I was glad to see you show up. Us old Dawgs like to hear and tell the \"good old days\" stories. It's a football tradition to pass these on.
There are a few other old Dawgs around here.
