Doing some looking around in an antique store where the wife has a booth and came across an area with a lot of old AU stuff. Stadium cushions with vintage Aubie, year books etc. Picked up a game day program from the 1972 Auburn/Georgia game. Perfect condition. Wow! I was just a kid but I was at that game.
The stadium was Cliff Hare and held 63,500. Gary Sanders and Gusty Yearout were calling the game. David Housel wrote a couple of pieces, including one on the creator of Aubie, Phil Neel. The biggest guy on the roster, coached by Ralph Shug Jordan, weighed 246 lbs. The running backs were Terry Henley and Harry Unger. There were a couple of little known guys on defense named Bill Newton and David Langner.
Our overall record against Georgie at that time was 34-35-6. Against Bama...16-19-1. Any Auburn fan that wouldn't eat this thing up doesn't have a pulse.
