Hunter

Errbody else.

Hard to disagree here though....Hunter is legit. People forget he was he number 1 HS player In the country when he spurned FSU for Deion.

We should go back to the wishbone.  Or the Power-I. 

FWIW?   I have no interest in the Heisman.  None of them have the physical tools of a Bo, Cam, Herschel. None of them are "great" or enduring in any sense of the words.  Just some mid, meh, somewhat decent players.  Hunter is the worst of that bunch, but has the screaming ESPN hype.

Don't agree on Hunter not being legit. Hes a physical freak. Was in HS as well. No, not a Bo, Herschel or even Deion. But hes a legit good FB player. Has been for a while.

As a kid, one of the highlights of our Panty Bra City vacations, was a trip to Alvin's, the one with the volcano at Miracle Strip Amusement Park. Look Dad, it's a monkey made out of a coconut. Can we buy it, pleeeeease.  No wait, I want that alligator head. Oooooo....hermit crabs.

Magic Mountain.

They tore it down a few years ago (think it got a lot of damage from Michael). Kind of sad to look at that intersection now and see....nothing. No Alvins. No Miracle Strip Park.

^^This^^  A lot of memories in that area.

I bought a book a few years back that covers the history of the PC, Destin and Ft. Walton areas.  Basically starts when it was 95% beach, with a few small rental houses, and how it all developed over the years.  It covers Goofy Golf, Miracle Strip Amusement Park, Petticoat Junction, Gulf World, the hotels and restaurants, and just about anything you can think of.  Complete with tons of pictures, including my favorite attraction at Miracle Strip, The Old House. 

Once I finally got the guts to go in, I'd go through that thing 10-15 times a night.  Took me years before I finally got the nerve to ride through The Haunted Castle.

There's a film history of the region (focused more on FWB/Destin) done by my buddy Shane Reynolds called "Sand in my Soul."  Worth a look if you can find it.

I go by it all the time. It brings back memories of long ago.
And truthfully, Alvin’s island was really popular because it was neat…and air conditioned! Damn it was hot back then also! For miracle strip, it was a refreshing ride in the abominable snowman that allowed the second part of the journey to continue.

I'll see you all at Bottcher's for the after-after party.

Goddammit, I miss Auburn.

Didn't you post that on the bookfaces a while back?

I did.  He premiered the film during COVID lockdown, so we had a drive-in movie showing.

It's really well done and, even though I've lived here for the bulk of my life, I learned some interesting shit.

I think I did watch it, but honestly, don't recall much about it.  I'll have to track it down and give it a look see again.

In other news that has nothing to do with this thread, SF 49ers' linebacker, De'Vondre Campbell, was sent in the game last night against the Rams. He told the coach he didn't want to play, and walked off the field. The comments from his, most likely, former teammates are less than praiseworthy for Mr. Campbell.

Is that Mrs Campbell’s boy? Always knew he was a lazy one.
