Re: Re: The Greatest Football Game Ever Played

There have been a bunch of GREATEST GAMES. I still believe that from an Underdog standpoint that this will go down as one of the guttiest performances ever. They had the ball on our 1 yard line with first and goal. Charlie Hill and Penn Hall were two big old linemen - out of shape - slow - older than most of us. They just wouldn't let 'em in or across our goal line.
I remember players coming off the field, throwing up, grabbing their headgear and going back in the game. It was a serious gut-check. I intercepted a pass on our 10 yard line with the whole field in front of me and got so excited that I fell down. A true, true story

Lathan, I don't know if you knew it or not, but Charlie Hill died last year. I think he had cancer. Thought you might want to know. unk Paul

I really liked Charlie. I remember him making two or three consecutive stops in that game on the goal line. So sorry to hear about him.
