I kinda vaguely remember this, but I was 6 yo at the time. I kinda remember watching COndredge play at night on the tee vee and the game was a big deal. Did Holloway get hurt in this game? I vaguely remember that as well. I also remember my brother and I playing football in the yard the next day and we took turns pretending to be #7.

Fun fact, I met Condredge at a UT tailgate in Huntsville, though I can't quite recall what year it was, and when he found out I worked for MSFC, he told me all about how his mother had worked there. I also have a good friend at church that played DB with him at Huntsville High in the late 60s. (Condredge was a 2-way player, naturally). He was super nice and down to Earth in person. :thumbup: |
