Ladies and Gentlemen –
This past weekend….
The University of Alabama, along with a number of other Colleges..
completed their spring practice with the much anticipated spring game.
As with most colleges, it is a time to evaluate the team…
and provide a foundation for the future.
It is also a time to see old friends and teammates and enjoy the festivities on campus.
One such event took place this past weekend in Tuscaloosa…
The University sponsored a 7 on 7 flag football game…
It pitted decades of great Alabama football players against one another….
Playing in that game was a former player…Tyrone Prothro
He had not been in front of the home crowd since bringing the game ball out two years ago…
A devastating injury cut his playing career short…
But he will always be remembered for “the catch”…
As I often say….
The Legends of Fall live forever…
So I present a brief review of a career that ended far too soon of one the greatest players ever to play the game…
More College Football News Later in the Week…
Along with a tribute to another true Legend of the Fall…
The Great 1945 Heisman Trophy winner…
Mr. Inside…
Felix “Doc” Blanchard…
