The immortal David Langer died Saturday morning. You know who he was. War Eagle. Punt, Bama, Punt.
Here are some rare photos of No. 28 as he turned the punts into points on Dec. 2, 1972. And intercepted two passes. And returned an un-blocked punt for 58 yards.
Our condolences to the Langner family, and the Auburn family.

Fantastic photos. Thank you very much for posting. As a Tuscaloosa native (and Auburn fan), I knew David well. Always a humble, friendly guy. Thanks again!
Thanks for posting the wonderful pictures. We have been overwhelmed by the love, support, and prayers. My Uncle will be greatly missed, but his memory will live on in the hearts of those who knew him. God Bless!
Love the guy on the cell phone in the next to last pic. He was way ahead of his time.
I can almost hear what he is saying, “Earl? Can you hear me now? You ain’t gonna believ-is.”
