He told me...."John, watch #22 Butch Box, he's an excellent special teamer". He sure was.

Anyway, I have the '76 Highlights somewhere. As soon as I find it, I'll post the video montage of Butch's hits on my Facebook page.--PatrickPatrick Garbinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01356915340772134104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4004306236917286956.post-3426512862353281062014-06-08T15:33:41.638-04:002014-06-08T15:33:41.638-04:00I couldn't be prouder to call him my daddy!

The hits were timed to music and would get you so jacked-up you couldn't sit still. It was unreal! I think just watching that film would improve any kick-off coverage team. Hope someone can find it and put it on u-tube or give it to UGA coaches. Its great.
