🏈 '85 Iron Bowl is playing on ESPNU right now.

My first one to attend. Love hearing Keith Jackson on the call too.

Came on at 5:00 and is near the end of the 1st quarter.

Funny, I had to get out of the house for some social distancing and ended up at a bar having a few beers and caught the fourth quarter on ESPNu last night. That was my first Iron Bowl, too, went with my girlfriend (who was an aubrun tigerette recruiting hostess), along with her sister and boyfriend. Sat in the middle of enemy territory. Still one of the best ball games I've ever attended.

At first blush, it's hard to believe that was 35 years ago, but once I think about it a bit, yeah, it's been that long.

That was my first and only Alabama vs. Auburn game. I just pulled out the program.

My first car was a '65 Chevy II Nova. It didn't have A/C. Second car was a '66 Chevy II, no A/C either. I think my first car with A/C was a '77 Mercury Monarch (a Ford Grenada clone), junior year of college.

I love straight shifts. I had a '72 Maverick in college with that 3 on a tree, loved it. I've read that only about ten percent of the U.S. driving population can still drive one. My road car is an '09 Camry, 5 speed. It just turned over 370,000. Still on the original clutch. Counting two civics (229M and 190M) and a Toyota pickup (256M) - all 5 speeds - I've put over a million miles on straight shifts during my working years. Strangely enough, my only two daily drivers with automatic transmissions since college have been two restorations I put on the road - a '72 Chevy Pickup and a '77 Vette. I put 75M each on them.
