One of the TSC posters found this gem... a 3:30 feature on Erk Russell from 1987.

This is a GREAT primer on the legend for some of you younger fans. It touches on Beautiful Eagle Creek, the legendary rattlesnake story, Snooky's and has some footage of College Football Hall of famer Tracy Ham as well as Raymond Gross, who might be the most underrated player in the history of the division.

The ads for the 1987 Blazer are pretty funny too...;)

If this doesn't get you fired up for the season you need to call the coroner.

Only at GSU would a drainage ditch be glorified into a creek! Eagle Creek... I believe I took a piss in that before the game last year!

I think Citdog has done worse in that creek. xeyebrowx

Great video though. Really highlights how much Erk did for that program.

And quick question, does anyone remember the result of the game GaSo played the next week? :D

That wasn't football, that was hockey and we don't know how to play.

I remember someone posted two pics a GaSo fan took on the MMB and all I had to say was "damn". If someone can find them, it would be fantastic.
