Just meeting my earliest Georgia football heroes is special enough. Meeting them in church is better still. Getting in front of a room to tell stories about a writing hero I never met but who knew each of them will be an all-time thrill.
A little backstory in a column that will be almost entirely backstory. The 1969 Sugar Bowl between Georgia football and Arkansas was the first one Vince Dooley attended as head coach and only the second he ever attended.
His first was in 1947 when Vince was 14 years old and got permission and $1 from his father to go from Mobile, Ala.
