Re: 2020 WR Thaiu Jones Bell

Me too!!! I once sat in Neyland Stadium holding up a sign that read (Game was on ABC):

Al #1
Bell
Country!!!

That was in '86, we were #2... We beat 'em up good!!! I think 56-28(?)

Our other sign that day was for Cornelius Bennett..."The Biscuit"

This is the coolest part of the story...his (Cornelius') Mom and Grandpa sat behind us...they took home the sign!!!

I was thinking of Al Bell in the 80s (I'm old )

I was in my 20's when Al Bell played and he was a great player, better than Kenny but we would sing "Ring My Bell" everytime Kenny scored on long TD plays so his name came to my mind first.

TJB is in the mold of AB in make up and route running ( Like I said imo he's the best WR in the nation). JJ4 was probably the best rout runner out of hs we've had but Coop was the best at Bama so far.

AB = Antonio Brown? If yes, I love that comparison.

I still remember Al Bell taking it across the middle against UGA in the “ we thought we had that one” game

I still remember Albert catching that ball from Shula to beat uga like it was yesterday... :biggrin2:

EDIT: Well, I guess this is what happens when you post without reading all of the comments through. You got to it first, Keeter! :biggrin:

What was even more memorable was there were a lot of awbern fans at the party and even they were cheering for us to beat the dogs that night. :biggrin2:

That Georgia game when Shula led the comeback and the drive against Auburn to get in field goal range for THE KICK are the two greatest memories I have of Mike Shula as a Bama QB.

I'm going to guess that does it for about all of us..

Well, that's a long time ago and I figure he had a few more highlights.

I`m sure he does as well, but those could certainly qualify for career highlights!
