From the April 21, 1988 issue of the Auburn Plainsman… the kind of find that makes it all worth it. Leave your best alternate caption—It’s hard to wrestle with them angels when you’re locked in them handcuffs? Don’t tase me, Bo?—in the comments.

Not even Terry Beasley was fast enough to outrun 70s fashion. Yep, Auburn’s Opie Taylor turned into San Francisco’s David Cassidy, and quick. Here he is with Shug in 1973, just two years after leaving the Plains. (If that’s not technically paisley–and we’re not saying it isn’t–it’s close enough for the pun.) Photo: OA-News. Related: [...]
