Mike Fuller-He was such a fearless little guy as a DB and tremendous punt returner at AU and with the Chargers.

They are in order.   You pick one.

From your list?  I like that Sullivan Beasley guy.  He could throw and catch his own passes.

Interchangeable.   They are always linked in my mind.  One doesn't exist without the other.

I used to want to be Charlie Trotman when i was a kid.  I had a number 6 jersey that was chopped off like his and I'd practice running the option in our neighbor's backyard.   That number stuck.  I wore it most of the time I played baseball and softball. 

Still my favorite number.

True story -

A few years ago (around 2006), Sue Locklar asked me to help clean out the storage attic above the Auburn athletic department museum.  You would not believe the amount of Auburn treasure just collecting dust up there.

Anyways, I was moving some stuff around and noticed a booklet of paper underneath a box of signed footballs from one of the early 1980s teams.  This dusty paper booklet was bent from the heavy box, and it had started to fade a little bit.

On the front cover?  The name Terry Beasley.  Inside?  Plays.  Plays upon plays upon plays.  On the back?  Terry Beasley's signature.   

The guy I was helping said that it was one of Beasley's old playbooks.  Then he said, "You can have it for helping me up here." 

So I put it in a safe spot near the stairs to take home with me.  When we finished what we were doing, the guy scratched his neck and said, "Hey, look.  I probably can't just give that away.  I'm really sorry, but here's a signed football from the 198? team.  You can have it if you want it."

So we traded items.  I remember checking for Bo Jackson's signature on the football.  It wasn't there.  I think it was 1987 or 1988.  So I gave it away to someone.

Anyways, the moral of the story is: if a guy offers you a signed Terry Beasley playbook, you tell him to go fuck himself if he tries to take it back.

Played baseball, football etc. with CT.  He was the All-American, Big man on campus...and one of the nicest guys you'd ever meet.  I have a CT story that proves he was in the top 5% of true red-blooded Americans.  Just can't post it here.

My sister was a GA and he was in one of her classes. She failed him. The Athletic dept was not happy. I think standards might have been alot different then.

I was 12 or 13 when he was there.   

I learned how to throw a football by mimicking Pat Sullivan.  Bring it up by your ear and fling the dogshit out of it.  Of course I never had a Beasley to run under the ball and make me look good, but I did what Pat did.  I knew I could never be Pat Sullivan, though. 

Then Charlie came along.  He didn't throw it all that well and he wasn't exceptionally fast.  But he could come rolling down the line, that cutoff jersey flapping, ball held in front of him like he was squeezing a teddy bear.  At the last minute he might pitch it, or he'd turn it up and bullrush for some yards.  THAT I believed I could do.  I could be Charlie Trotman.   I guess in a way he was my first football hero.  When my folks got me a semi-official Auburn jersey (back then they were blank) the first thing I did was convince them to put a #6 on it. 

My memory is hazy but that might actually have been one of those net ones that was only a jersey on the shoulders and the entire body was some kind of sheer netting stuff. 

I cut that bastard off and practiced the option.  My younger brother got to be James Brooks. 

Ok. Enough with the reminiscing. 

Later in my life I was working on a deal for some property and The Trotman Company was in charge of it.  I called them and didn't make the connection at first.  Got him on the phone and was like... "Charlie Trotman?  THE Charlie Trotman?  Seriously?  THE Charlie Trotman?"  I forgot how to say anything that made sense.

I had one with a number 7 on it. It made me run faster-throw harder and leap tall buildings.

You little bitch!!!  You said you didn't want anything but the jersey on in the picture.  And did you even consider how much strain there was on my back and neck in that position, trying to hold the camera?
