Where the hell is Adams Stadium?
Right next to John's Arena
Where the hell is Adams Stadium?
...so the GT vs. Tennessee game must be played at Bobby Dodd. Who's with me?
I think your assumption that it would be played, in this scenario, at GF is incorrect.
Also, did not know if Adams was still in existence by the old Briarcliff HS. A stadium where, in 1964, some nefarious students went to the top row and with a Giant Ass wrench loosened bolts on one of the light poles and the light fixture fell to earth. Their identities still unknown as far as I know.
Briarcliff were well known losers in the athletic arena. (Chuck Dowdle was a star in basketball there. Enough said.)
They had 4 stars ever. Their wrestling teams were unreal.
Bobby Stokes went to the U as a punter. The U's new HC, a former Dodd asst named Charlie Tate, had remembered him from the ATL.
The only other 2 of note, Elliot Price & Randy Campbell, went on to become GT football players.
The Briarcliff HS coach did not have the same success as he had in Gainesville. Course in Gainesville they had these 2 guys named Lothridge and Martin.
Sorry, waxing nostalgic.
