That '95 season was just awful. The 'Bama game was probably the low point. My wife and I took our 1 year old daughter--her first game! A Bama fan was complaining to me about Coach Stallings at half time--just a few years removed from a national title! I said "wanna trade?" He said, PDQ, "Noooh!" <br /><br />Coach Goff was a great player, good guy, average coach, and had bad luck. But luck matters. As Napoleon once said, he had plenty of smart generals; he needed more lucky ones!Slaw Dawghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04816612321987343135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4004306236917286956.post-86611429932871489892011-03-02T10:49:33.072-05:002011-03-02T10:49:33.072-05:00The straw that broke Goff's back was on that c...The straw that broke Goff's back was on that cold evening in Athens when we played Auburn and they were going to punt the ball to us with under two minutes left and facing a fourth and one....true to form, Goff called a timeout when Auburn was in their punt formation and Auburn then decided to go for it and made it...had been a great Bulldog comeback until that point...still remember being in the upper decks surrounded by no one but a few diegards and a bottle of somethingAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4004306236917286956.post-4067244894871332542011-03-01T17:47:45.079-05:002011-03-01T17:47:45.079-05:00Patrick, I am impressed with your knowledge of his...Patrick, I am impressed with your knowledge of history regarding the Georgia Bulldogs. Thanks for sharing it with us. Although I have been around for nearly four scores of time, my memory does not serve me as well as it used to. You enlighten my memories!

As you say, there was no one to back him up except a true freshman Jon England. I think it's safe to say we don't beat Tech with England at quarterback.

It was just an insane situation with so many players dropping like flies. Always hated to see Goff go out like he did. I was pulling for him.
