So the way I read this is that UGA "lucked" into their only


Jul 22, 2019, 2:11 PM

NC with a star player who didn't care if he was there or not. Just left it to random chance. When he puts it that way, that UGA NC just means less, even less than before

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Is that what he calls the black Trans AM UGa bought him?


Jul 22, 2019, 2:11 PM

Maybe it was the full track scholarship Vince Dooley gave Hershel's sister Veronica even though Georgia did not even have a women's track program at the time.

There were LOTS better Herschel recruitment stories floating

around than coin tosses.....it was a wild time.

Yeah,a hundred thousand dollar coin landed in his lap.***

Herschel was going to be great no matter where he went


Jul 22, 2019, 3:35 PM

but that was a two-sided coin he flipped and that bag only had the dawgs on all of the pieces of paper in it...

this is how you know that this is just an old fishing story; if he REALLY was a good student, AIN'T NO WAY he thought that the money being paid by the Army and the lifestyle of a soldier was better than what he was being paid to sign an LOI and the lifestyle of a college and pro football player...

Guy's are trying to defer commissions to play pro ball, and he's talking about not wanting to disappoint Mama by ENLISTING in the Army?? I'm straight up calling bovine fecal matter on that...

OK but bottom line is:


Jul 22, 2019, 3:51 PM

Herschel Never crossed Clemson's Goal Line..



in THREE Years of trying!


And, another Heisman player named George Rogers had NO Luck in FOUR years of trying to score!

Re: LBB, i know you've heard the story, but maybe others haven't

Herschel "died" and went to heaven. When he woke up, he was in full uniform with a football tucked under his arm and standing on grass that had 'Clemson' painted on it. He was confused, until he saw George Rogers in full uniform, with a football, walking over to greet him.
"How does it feel?" George asked.
"I'm not sure," Herschel responded. "I had hoped to go to heaven, but this Clemson stuff makes me think--"
"No, no, no! You need to relax! The Big Guy knows your heart. He figures your introduction to Heaven should be the one place you've always wanted to go but never got to."
"You mean--?"
"Yep, Herschel. Congratulations. We've both finally made it to Clemson's end zone."
And he fell on his knees and kissed the grass.

Exactly. His story is complete BS***


Jul 22, 2019, 3:55 PM [ in reply to Herschel was going to be great no matter where he went ]



badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

And he played Clemson twice and scored exactly


Jul 22, 2019, 7:15 PM

ZERO. Excuse me...played us three times and scored ZERO. Same for George Rogers except four times. Just sayin.....
