[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 426276, member: 265"] Since some people don't seem to know the history on this and the root of my deep, abiding hatred for Bammer and their football "program", here's a little primer: [URL]https://www.si.com/vault/1962/11/26/592367/a-rough-day-for-the-bear[/URL] I have never been happier then when we beat those thugs that day. Except, perhaps, when I read the Playboy interview with Joe Namath a few years later. Here's the passage I liked: [B]Playboy:[/B] When was the hardest you ever got hit on a football field? [B]Namath:[/B] Well, I hate to give the bastards credit for anything, but when I was in college, Georgia Tech really creamed me in a game. I didn't know one of their guys was coming at me and he just about crunched every bone in my body; I mean, he really knocked the hell out of me. I was almost completely out. Too bad it was just "almost completely". I think the "guy" was Ted Davis, but I'm not sure. He sorta specialized in that. [/QUOTE]
