The Lost World

The name "Gerald Freeny" probably doesn't ring a bell.

If you're old enough to remember when the most under-appreciated moment of each college football season was hearing TBDBITL blasting California Here I Come as players danced off the field following a conference-clinching victory, it's a name you would be looking forward to learning - and quickly forgetting - during the postgame celebration. Like "Ronald Conzonire" in 2009, "W.H. Griest Jr." in 1996 or "Don Judson" in 1984.
