Our PK Adrian Mora, a Dalton High Graduate, was recruited by Tennessee and a few other FBS schools (I don't know about Alabama), but the recurring theme from the FBS schools was to ask him to walk on, which is the apparent policy of FBS schools. Why Ga. Southern, with 22 less scholarships, found room for one to Mr. Mora where SECs of the world could not, is beyond me, particularly in light of the LSU game. I believe that most, if not all, GSU fans were rooting for Alabama in that game and collectively cringed every time the kicker missed a 40 yarder.
Some of us were drinking the Blue Tide coolaid that somehow if Alabama was 10-0 and we were 10-0 at the time that we played each other, and both schools were ranked no. 1 in FBS and FCS respectively, and somehow if we managed to slip up and get a win, and get out of town alive, that we could win our NC in FCS, while Alabama, who would still have no FBS losses and no SEC losses, would still win out through the SEC game and the NC game. Then, we could lay claim to two NCs this year!
Instead, we stubbed our toe with Appy. (we affectionately call Crappy) State while you did with LSU.
Now, I am just thinking about the line that our old Coach Erk Russell said as we prepared to play no. 1 ranked Florida State in 1988. "Men, just try to save the equipment, and let's not get anybody hurt today," or words to that effect. (going into the 4th quarter, we were leading Deion Sanders' bunch 10-7 until we ran out of gas and lost 28-10).
