1982. The year we skinned the Bear. Bryant said it was one of the most sound defeats he had ever went through. Score was 20-10. Wayyy more lopsided than the score indicated. That LSU defense was elite that year

One of my Top 3 GBFTL games.

I grew up hating Alabama because of a rivalry I had with my Uncle, who was a Big Bama Supporter that lived in Tuscaloosa.

We finally beat them in that very memorable game in Birmingham!

I distinctly remember my buddy Mark Jeffers (The Tiger Mascot) talking with Bear Bryant down on the field during pre-game warmups.

He said he told the Bear "We're gonna kick yalls arse today" and Bear replied "You're probaly Right."

I’m sure we know each other IRL. My last game in TGBFTL was Charle Mac and Nick Rouse’s last game at the Tangerine Bowl. JUMAS brother?

Back to OP, my youngest and his son played ball at UHigh together. I’ve never met a more genuine, nice gentleman.

He had amassed some real talent after reluctantly taking the HC job when Bo Rein went down, and Bill Arnsparger used those players to field a heck of a team.
