  1. That is quite a college resume. Also, I was distressed to read that George Patton had passed away. Anyone who met him was impressed by how humble and gracious he was. Came to UGA as a QB and became a terrific All America D tackle.

    • Patton’s last game was our January 1, 1967 Cotton Bowl win over SMU. We had the ball at the end and SMU could not stop the clock enough to end the game. Young Vince Dooley had a wild hair up his ass and put Patton in at quarterback to finish out the game and allowed him to attempt a long pass. AA DT completed the circle by coming in as a QB and going out as a QB!

  2. What an athlete…and he was at UGA when Prohibition gets repealed…something tells me there was some serious celebrating going on
