That was going to be my guess. I met Bill some years ago when he was in Atlanta working for Bear Sterns & Foster. He told us some good stories about Joe Namath and I think he said for a while they were roommates .... maybe on away trips. He said that when Joe came to Atlanta he often stayed with him and his wife. It was a time when Joe was hawking some sort of cologne. He said that when they would go out that women were just attracted to Joe and they could not eat anywhere without being constantly disturbed by them. Eventually, when he would visit they would just eat at Bill's home without the hassle.

Jimmy Orr went to Georgia.

2024 orange level membermilitary_donation.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

But was from Pickens - too bad Georgia lured him away.......


Feb 1, 2020, 2:15 PM

from playing for Frank Howard.

Sorry to keep correcting, but he was from Seneca. His father was a Doctor there. I grew up on a farm up the river from Newry and knew his Dad.

I think he was one of those that Frank Howard complained about being tired of going down to Georgia and being beat by all those boys he couldn’t get into Clemson because of ACC academic rules.

Actually, Jimmy Orr was born in Seneca and went to Seneca High School before going to UGA.

always said he wondered how Jimmy Orr could afford the pay cut going from UGa to the NFL.

Dwight Clark or Charlie Waters would be my guesses.

If not Mathis, I’ll say TE John McMakin
