Just thinking that there was EVER a time when GT could play against and beat Alabama boggles the mind. Yet my father-in-law who is still very much living and still playing sports was on the team that beat Alabama and won a national championship.
More than that, “Granddad” kicked the ball his team recovered, setting up a GT touchdown for the win.
Granddad makes sure to point out that every kick he ever did for GT resulted in points, giving him a 100% rating for scoring drives with his kicks. He also points out that he only ever did one, and messed that one up so badly it was only luck that it bounced backwards towards his team.
Here’s a link for the curious:
Grandpa is still alive and kicking, just not footballs. He plays basketball in the senior Olympics and he’s scary good.
