  1. He coached James “Crazy Legs” McClelland in high school in the 50s. In 1993 James said, “Vassa Cate can jump over this building!”

  2. Good Monday, Refugees!

    Since the blurb about today’s feature calls out his kick return talents, how about a list of the best kick returners in Georgia history? Here are mine:
    1) Scott Woerner
    2) Zippy Morocco
    3) Jake Scott
    4) Isaiah McKenzie
    5) Todd Gurley

    Honorable mention – Charley Trippi, Lindsay Scott, Damian Gary, Brandon Boykin

    • Good list. I would add a guy from my days as a student, Gene Washington.

    • Chuck Carswell was a great punt returner.

      I loved when Herschel lined up to receive kickoffs.

      I’ve never seen anyone shake the first couple of tacklers on punts miss as consistently as Damien Gary

  3. All great ones. I do remember Buzzy(what a name for a Dawg) returning 2 punt returns for TDs against Oregon State in opening game one year. Scott Woerner will always be my favorite!!!

  5. Dude ran a 100 yards clocking a 9.8 in 1938. WTF? Holy smokes he could run with Usain Bolt today. That right there was white lightning. Run DAWG run.

    • 100 yards equals 91.44 meters. I would be curious what he could do with today’s knowledge, materials, and training programs. I think he’d be a shoo-in for the track and field program at UGA currently…

      • Google says it would be about a 10.7 in the 100 meter. Not the fastest but in 1938 the fastest time was 9.4 equaling the time set by Jessie Owens in 1935. Facts can be boring. The truth is the dude was smokin’ fast and a DGD.

        • He likely ran with Spec Towns, who WAS smoking fast (world record fast). I imagine we had a helluva track team back then (as we do now).
