Where Are They Now? John Avery Edition

There is an interesting article on SI. com that catches up with former Rebel Running back John Avery and Georgia standout Robert Edwards.  

In case you forgot how good he was watch #14 and #5.

I still cannot believe they called a fucking personal foul when he dove into the endzone on that kickoff return against Bama in '97. Just another in a long line of fuckjobs by the refs when we play the Tide.

That run against the Tide was amazing I still remember to this day thinking, "Holy Crap he's fast!" God the 30th is too far away.

Yep, the unsportsmanlike conduct call on that kick return was a definite fuck job. Typical Alabama game officiating. We were down 29-14 when that kick return happened. Obviously, we were going to go for 2 to try to cut it to 29-22. Instead, the unsportsmanlike call forced us to try the kick to cut it to 29-21. It was a 35 yard extra point, which we missed, and we ended up losing 29-20.

The penalty and missed extra point effectively ended the game. Fuck the SEC.
