Herschel Walker

I saw Herschel play against Auburn at Jordan-Hare. Georgia was #1 in the land, or close to it.  Herschel ran down the sideline, towards the Auburn student section, for a long touchdown.

Another time, I watched Herschel run the last leg of the 4×100 in a track meet against Auburn.  And get this: My friend and I were standing alongside a freshman Charles Barkley while watching it.

I watched the Sugar Bowls he played in.  I'm pretty confident that for each game I was at my grandmother's house on Mitchell St. in Headland.  We watched it on her TV.  She always loved football.

In my 8th grade English class (teacher Charlotte Kirkland), I wrote a book report on Herschel Walker's biography.  My brother, who was a big Dawgs fan, had the book.  I borrowed it from him.

In the early 2000s, I was on a flight to Dallas with Herschel Walker.  He was standing near the gate, and I walked right by him.  I saw him first and intentionally walked in his direction.  I didn't speak to him, though, because I didn't want to bother him.  He was still in great shape.
