1st Memories of Auburn Football on Radio....Buddy Rutledge...
can remember sitting out in dove fields with my dad with a little transister radio between us. He died early on in my childhood (late 60s?) but will never forget his voice.
==============================
I know I must have listened to Buddy, but Gary Sanders and Gusty are the memories of my childhood and the ones I really remember. Mostly cause of Punt Bama Punt, I saw it on the radio.
Here is why I love Gary:
"In 1970-something they opened that coliseum downtown (in Birmingham) and there was a basketball doubleheader: Auburn vs. Czechoslovakia and Alabama vs. Russia," Sanders said. "This is the height of the Cold War, and I said, 'well, tonight I can pull for Alabama, they"re playing the Russians."'And a rebound comes off----they've got a 7"2' guy (Vladimir Tkachenko), the Russians do. He reaches up and is just going to casually take the rebound. Well, Reginald King, one of the best Alabama players ever in my mind, takes that ball away from him and stuffs it in. And I'm sitting there at the table and I said "Goddammit, Tkachenko--hold on to the rebound!" And I said, "oh my God, I'm pulling for the Russians!'"
