Auburn won. And Bo was the MVP. Sounds like a game we'd hear a lot about. But we don't. But it happened. It was a real thing. In fact, on Dec. 12, 1984, it was probably the most important thing going in the life of Bud Dudley, Executive Director for the Liberty Bowl, which he founded in 1959.

How the anchor of Auburn’s 1967 defensive line became The Creature from Black Lake

A lot can change for a football program in seven years. Ditto an Alabama news station's video production studio (must be all those Long's Electronics—Tomorrow's electronics today!). Here's how the Auburn Football Review looked in 1975, and here's how it looked it 1982, post-Pat Dye, but pre-Mike Hubbard voice overs. (Can't see the video? Try here.) Thank God they … [Read more...] about The 1982 intro for the ‘Auburn Football Review’
