Perkins out

[Kaos]

Never really hated Ray Perkins.  As a Bama coach, he was pretty tolerable.  But now he's dead.  


Short version of long story.  I played rec league softball for years. Keen, right?  One year we had a ton of Bama players on my team.  Vince Sutton, some of the Goode's and others I'd have to look up.  Vince?  His arm was unreal.  Threw a ball from the outfield fence that I couldn't see, could only hear it coming in when I was covering the plate.  Just unbelievable.  

Played in a tournament at Sokol Park (if you ever lived in Tuscaloosa, you know where that is) and made it to the championship game.  Looked up and saw Ray standing behind the fence at home plate.  Seconds later, we didn't have a roster.  All the Bama players vanished.  

It's kind of strange.  I didn't hate Bama as much then as I have in recent years.  Oh, I hated them, but during Perkins' time we were essentially on equal footing.  Dye was a better coach, we were on par in recruiting and facilities, and the games were competitive every year.  It was actually fun.

I keep hearing from friends, friends of friends and reading internet comments about how Bama (and others) have ruined football, the iron bowl isn’t fun anymore because of Bama, etc etc. 

You fuckers must have forgotten about fear the thumb and the years that led up to that shit.  Seemed to be having a damn good time with the rivalry when y’all had t shirts every year about the streak and Tuberville was rubbing Bama’s nose in it.

Auburn owns the longest winning streak in the series since the 70s. 

It was fun for Auburn then and it’s fun for Bama now. Quit hiring shit coaches and blaming Bama for the misfortunes.

Ray Perkins is dead.  You must have missed that part.

I went to his foosball camp as an 148 pound sophomore. I was not heavily recruited at the time but went to showcase my talents and figure out where I wanted to take them. 


Bo Peep was the fastest guy in camp. Can’t recall his name. From Phenix city and ended up going to AU. I stayed  right with him in the stairwell on the way down to practice that morning. 

I remember Cornelius Bennet being at the final dinner where he ate 2 of the big steaks. He was already a legend and just there for the grub.

of course Ray wasn’t involved much if any. Just had your picture made with him.

Coaches Dubose, goose and wingo ran things.

I’d imagine Perkins told people through the years about me being at his camp.

He was the man that replaced the man. That ain’t easy.

The coaches don't normally work with the chain operators at these camps.

[Snaggletiger]

I have no Perkins stories.  Why would I? 

I did used to work with the guy who was Bo Jackson's agent, along with Cornelius Bennett and others.  He told me that Ray Perkins was a "player's coach", basically meaning they loved him and if anything happened in their lives good or bad, he was there for them, and he'd be the first person they'd call as well.  Surprisingly, he said the polar opposite was Bill Curry.  Stuck up, cocky sumbitch.

That anywhere near the Gorky Park the Scorpions sang about in that Berlin Wall song?

Bo Peep eh? Hanging out with them Phenix City boys I see.

He and Ed King were something serious though. Crazy too they were on the same offense in HS. 

And his name is James Joseph.

I finally remembered. James Joseph. What’s going on with peep nowadays?

I remember after he won the fastest man race them asking him to say something and he grabbed his enormous black penis and muttered something unintelligible. I can remember thinking to myself , “that’s the biggest dick I’ve ever seen in my life”. Even though he didn’t take it out of his shorts.

And believe me, even at 14, I had seen a LOT of cock.

I think he's still prowling East Alabama. I went to school with his younger brother who now works in the PC Wal Mart Quick Lube center .....no seriously, he's prob the fastest oil changer in the joint. I hate when I get the other guy. I don't have all damn day. Anyway, yeah, James was a stud for sure. ed King is still around too, selling insurance last I saw for All State in Phenix City. For his time, he was one of the biggest OL you'd ever seen. Quick feet too, not sure on cock size though. I can find out for you.

I know all about the cock size.

He's no Stacy Danley.

James Joseph and his Red Devils came down to Dothan to play the Tigers in a first round playoff game. Seemed like they drew PC every year in the first round. Usually makes for a quick exit.  Anyway, Joseph, who had already committed to AU, busted up his knee early on.  The PC coach was a friend of my father in law and told him Joseph saw the good Dr. James Andrews that night.  Flew him up there from Dothan.  That's called protecting your "investment."

Wayne Trawick. Legend. 

has to be close to 90 now. See him at the Waffle House every now and then. 

[GH2001]

Scored some floor tickets a couple of years ago at a basketball game right before Xmas. Some Pansy team. Easy win. Anyway - guy sitting beside me looked just like Danley. I blew it off. After a half of sitting there I finally asked him his name because as I said “just curious because you look similar to a guy I used to watch play football here” he replies back “well maybe I knew him then, what’s his name? By the way im Stacey danley” and shook my hand. Got damned the dude had the biggest damn meat hooks. My hand still hurts. You can’t teach that kind of physical attribute. He ended up talking to me for 20 mins about how he was in some legal battle with Alabama state over getting fired. I had no idea.

I forget how they knew each other.  Probably went to college together.  My FIL is 83 so Trawick is at least that.

He just told us that the man is close to 90. Just now. He just said it.


Idiot.

[GH2001]

Idiot.

In just pure math 83 is close to 90. But at that age that kind of gap is a gift. And an eternity.

Edit: was told my someone who would know that ole Wayne is 82. Well shit. I just called him old. I’m gonna have to buy him some grits now at the Waffle House but I will recommend he put down the beam and Marlboro’s at his age. I do believe they are making him look old. 

[CCTAU]

I was recruited by Perkins. I chose AU. Not a fan of the man. May he RIP.
