Anyone seen this? GT and Eddie Lee Ivery get a mention.

Yes! Another good 30 for 30. And trivia I did not know.... Eddie Lee Ivery set that (at the time) NCAA single game rushing record against Air Force HC Bill Parcells, DC Al Groh ...with Bill Belicheck in attendance.

Yep, 356 yards (iirc). In the snow and Eddie Lee was sick with the flu, remarkable performance.

Not sure of the exact number, but I think it was on like 12 carries.

Was there a link posted? I don't see it. I was told Firefox doesn't support FB links, so I tried Chrome, and nothing appears there either.

No link. Do you know what 30 for 30’s are? Sports documentaries ESPN makes. I’m assuming based on this thread that this is a new one that mentions Tech?

It says he had 26 carries. Boy was I wrong!

Everyone ran well against Air Force in 1978 Vanderbilt's Frank Mordica ran for 321 yards on 24 carries against the AF Falcons in the last game of the 1978 AF football season. ELI was a great,great back and it's too dang bad he was cursed with injuries in the NFL.

Sad to say, no, I don't know what 30 for 30s are.

Also too dang bad that the mutts injured him and then cheered about it on the field.

Thanks. So how do you watch "The Two Bills"? It's listed as a "recent" show, but there is no link to it there.

@Supersizethatorder-mutt Here is a review/summary of the episode. #2 is a quick summary of the reference to the Ga Tech v Air Force (and Eddie Lee Ivery) game in 1978. It's about 30 seconds of a 1.5 hr show.

If you get a chance to see the exchange it was pretty cool. Belicheck mentions he was working in Denver (Broncos) at the time and knew Parcells was at Air Force and decided to attend a game and connect with Parcells ostensibly to seek employment on his staff at Air Force. Belichick says something like... "I drove down to Colorado Springs for a game... I think it was Georgia Tech ..." Parcells interrupts him and rolls his eyes (over the bad memory) and says something like.. "Yeah... they set a rushing record against us... Eddie Lee Ivery" Good stuff. These coaches remember EVERYTHING!

Made me realize how easily little Bill could've been the Giants coach had he waited a few days before taking Browns job.

 

[TheSilasSonRising]

2 former GT coaches featured somewhat in the show -

Groh and Crennel

Sometimes talent beats coaching.
