In the infamous 1993 ‘Timeout Game’ aka ‘Mud Bowl’ between Florida & Georgia, Running Back Errict Rhett ran for 183 yards & 2 Touchdowns, including a 1 yard leap over the pile to cap off a 21 play drive in the 3rd quarter. Rhett earned All-American honors while carrying the rock for the Gators that year compiling over 1200 yards and 11 touchdowns. Happy Birthday Errict!
Georgia Bulldogs
The Black Heart Game
Little bit of a Blaze Mystery Monday for ya guys. When we found out today was Garrison Hearst’s Birthday we went back into the Blaze Files to find this image of Garrison from a 1991 Georgia Bulldogs battle with the Auburn Tigers. Man, Garrison was tops in Tailback swag of the early ‘90s. But, we wondered. What’s up with that Black Heart Patch on his jersey? A proper blurry Youtube dive took us to November 16th, 1991 and a 37-27 Bulldogs win in Athens. Turns out most of the Georgia players were wearing the patch. We’ve got some FREE Blaze going to any fan out there who can tell us the meaning behind the Black Heart? b.t.w. I haven’t found the answer yet either.
Happy Birthday Bill Goldberg!
Happy 54th Birthday Bill Goldberg!! I’ve got an Issue of Blaze going to the reader who can tell us to what Team & in what Round of the 1990 NFL draft the Georgia Bulldog Defensive Tackle went. ?!? Did you know Goldberg was the 3rd to last pick in the 1995 NFL Expansion Draft, after being selected by the Carolina Panthers? He never played for them.
