🏈 Steve Doran?

[Nothing_But_A_Winner00]

#88 or #80 I believe. He has a picture hanging up in this Bama themed BBQ joint/bar here in Evansville, IN. It's a b&w autographed picture so I assume he played for Bryant. Anyways, he live right across the Ohio River from Evansville, in Henderson, KY, and he attends this bar regularly on gamedays.

I visit this bar often but not on gamedays, and they're having a customer appreciation thing going on before the game this weekend and he'll be down there. Can anybody tell me anything about this guy?

Doran maybe? He's in the Scott Hunter era I believe.

Steve Doran was a tight end from Murray, KY. Played during late 60's through 1970. He is actually in the Alabama record books as one of the 100+ yards receiving in a game. He had 101 against Ole Miss in 1970.

Very cool. Let the old man know that his name is still being tossed around out here in Bama Cyber space! :a:

Steve doran

Steve did play for Bear Bryant and played with Ken Stabler(who has also been to this establishment). It's game day & Steve will be at the Hickory Pit Stop BBQ restaurant you are speaking about. The missed & beloved Bull Dawson used to frequent our place as well. Come on down and check out the BAMA football wall & enjoy the game with fellow BAMA fans. We'd love to see you there. ROLL TIDE!!!
