It was the second half kick off of the 1964 game with the barn leading 7-6 at the half. Officially it was 100 yards , but he was 7 yards deep in the end zone when he received the kick. I couldn't believe he was bringing it out.The first one I remember watching on TV was the barn game where Ray Ogden ran a KO back over 100 yds for a TD. Not sure it was the first one I watched, just the first one I remember. And I don't even remember when that was.
Back then my daughter and brother-in-law(ut fan) had a ten dollar bet on the Bama-ut game every year. After that play, he handed her ten dollars.October 20, 1973 Alabama 42 Tennessee 21. 80 yd TD pass from Gary Rutledge to Wayne Wheeler on the 1st play of the game...I was 11 and remember running to tell my Grandmother we had scored already and she pretty much told me to stop telling stories
It's a great first memory to have.Funny. Me too. I was 11. I remember sitting in the floor at my grandmother's house watching it.
My other down the street friends father was Lauren Stapp, used to punt for us in the sixties I think.I was eight in 1971 when my down the street neighbor's father, doug layton, would do the radio broadcast.I listened to or watched every game since. first one I went to was the 1973 waxing of va. tech, used to be vpi I think. my grand dad took me and I remember Calvin Culliver must have run for a mile. 66-0 if I remember correctly.
Nebraska actually won that game 38-6.1972 Orange Bowl. Alabama 38, Nebraska 6.
:biggrin2:
1964, second half kickoff..........RTR !!The first one I remember watching on TV was the barn game where Ray Ogden ran a KO back over 100 yds for a TD. Not sure it was the first one I watched, just the first one I remember. And I don't even remember when that was.
My bad. It was the '67 game.Nebraska actually won that game 38-6.
This was my first TV game also. It was 1969 and Archie and Scott Hunter had a passing shootout and IIRC we won 33-28. I think Hunter threw for over 400 yds.In person: Bama vs USCw at Legion Field in 1978. Charles White was running back for USCw, and they beat us. SI's cover next week had photo of the game, with caption, "Rolling Back the Tide." Still makes me sick. Fortunately, we won half of the NC that year. Ironically, we shared it with USCw.
On TV: I was too young to remember specifics, but it was a Bama - Ole Miss game when Archie Manning played for them.
