🏈 David Pollack with a good question: "Who’s your favorite player that wasn’t a star, a household name, but still left a mark at UA?

[TerryP]

 

[TerryP]

This is a hard one for me.

Tommy Lewis?

 

[rick4bama]

Mark McMillian, "Mighty Mouse"

 

[TerryP]

Mark McMillian, "Mighty Mouse"

If he has a nickname, he's a household name, right?

 

[TerryP]

I don't think anyone can beat this one. Tie? Maybe.

Jack Hurlbut.

Shit, look at this depth chart.

1961	Pat Trammell	Jack Hurlbut	Mal Moore
1962	Joe Namath	Jack Hurlbut	Mal Moore.
1963	Joe Namath	Steve Sloan	Jack Hurlbut (SR YR.)

[TerryP]

Bobby Skelton

Like Hurlbut, he played with Trammell.

Here's one for you. When Skelton was third string the starter and back up were also named Bobby: Jackson, Smith, and Skelton. (And yes I just thought of Charlie's Angels.)

Bobby Skelton and Richard "Digger" Odell.....

O'dell
Kick fg as time ran out to beat GT. i almost put him ..1960 i think

 

[TerryP]

Going with Timmy Davis

Through the years we've talked about families, brothers, etc, running through the program. Castille's, Britt's, and a host of others.

Davis is part of that group: but unique in himself.

From 1961 through 1975...nine of those years he or one of his brothers kicked for Bama. There were four.

Richard "Digger" Odell.....

When Tyler Booker starting "making noise" around campus I got lost one day trying to figure out how I knew the name. My first thought was his dad played on the line for Bama, Tommy Booker. I looked it up, I was wrong. It was Tommy Brooker whose name rang a bell.

Brooker was injured in 1960. He was the place kicker and Odell replaced him...GT and the rest of the story are history.

Joseph S. "Pete" Camp, freshman starting right tackle on the history-making 1926 Rose Bowl Champions. Later became noted as the best surgeon in Walker County. Still later, for being my uncle.

Where did he go to med school?

Where did he go to med school?

In those days, the first two years of med school were held on the UA campus, after which the students had to go out of state. I'm honestly not sure where he went then.
