Hearing they're going to replace him with Al Wilson. I approve. :thumbup: Title: Re: BDV... it's finally going to be done Post by: VinnieVOL on February 28, 2018, 07:21:01 EST Al Wilson... Great choice!

They don't want to do anything until they decide what to replace it with - and they want to get it all done in one operation.

In fact, you can probably now see his picture on the jumbotron from his old apartment. :clap: Title: Re: BDV... it's finally going to be done Post by: volsboy on March 06, 2018, 04:43:47 EST How can they not have Peyton on there? Now that is a no-brainer.

Doug Johnson (aka "Duhg"), just about the worst QB of the SOS era, but had a big enough head he didn't realize that. That we managed to lose to his mediocre arse in 1997 is attributable to Chavis. They scored 5 TDs. One on an int return, 3 on 3rd and 10, and the 4th on 4th and 10. Chavis rushed 3 and dropped 8 into coverage. Every. Single. Time. :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: But as you point out, he did learn his lesson the next season, leading to, among other nice things, the aforementioned near decapitation of Mr. Johnson. :nod: Title: Re: BDV... it's finally going to be done Post by: PirateVOL on March 06, 2018, 10:07:34 EST Doug Johnson (aka "Duhg"), just about the worst QB of the SOS era, but had a big enough head he didn't realize that.

Can't find a box score, but here is a youtube that calls Doug out by name at the beggining. What I recall best is a picture of him pointing to the scoreboard at some point in the game. Which made his whining after the 1998 game even better. :biggrin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYivZy1iJ48 Title: Re: BDV... it's finally going to be done Post by: FLVOL on March 07, 2018, 08:05:52 EST Pirate was talking about the '98 game, in overtime, when AW ran over #7, Jesse Palmer

Well Johnson did play in that game, as SOS was alternating them at the time. http://www.nytimes.com/1998/09/20/sports/college-football-tennessee-beats-florida-to-end-long-waiting-game.html So it was Palmer who took the hit. But I am 100% sure Johnson whined after the game, I'll never forget that. :naughty: Title: Re: BDV... it's finally going to be done Post by: PirateVOL on March 08, 2018, 07:45:21 EST Ah.

Without a doubt I believe he willed the team to victoryhttp://www.nytimes.com/1998/09/20/sports/college-football-tennessee-beats-florida-to-end-long-waiting-game.html So it was Palmer who took the hit.
