We Owe Pat Sullivan!

He was 3-0 against Tech as a starter, including a 31-7 drubbing in our first trip to Auburn of the modern era in 1970.

Thanks for the picture of #7. As my Dad was an Auburn grad and former basketball player there and I was in high school during those years - I have to admit I was pulling for the Tigers back then. Came to my senses in the fall of '73 upon enrollment at Ma Tech.

But, Sullivan, Beasley, Bressler, Clark, Henley, Kolen, etc. - that was a great team. What a wonderful time for SEC football. Manning, Hunter, Sullivan, Reaves, Johnson, Jones, and Holloway all playing QB.

I do hope we whip him 56-0 on Saturday.

Not to mention the dreadful numbers he put up from '72-'75 as QB of the Atlanta Falcons --including an overall QB rating of 36.5%

Whatever happened to Terry Beasley?

Sullivan to Beasley was similar to Montana to Rice, or as such, back in the old days before maps.

Go Jackets! To heck with Samford.

Here's a good story on Terry. Unfortunately football head injuries were not good to him, but he has made the most of life:

That's a great article on Terry Beasley!

I was at Tech when we played them, in fact one of my fraternity brothers was the real brother of their "other" receiver.

Sullivan to Beasley was absolutely one of the most exciting combinations I have EVER seen on a football field. They were magic.

I'm very sorry to hear about his concussions, but it looks like he is dealing with it well.

Thanks for the article.

All the best to Terry.
