I know we cannot get an exact number but anyone know someone at all these? Would IMHO have to be at least 70 in 2019 to have understood 58, in other words not there as a very young child.

I’ve personally met 200,000 people that were at the Halloween night game and saw the BC run, so I would say a lot more than that.

I heard there was at least 120,000 people at the Cannon Run game, even though the stadium only held 60K people.

That’s been a running joke for 60 years now

fun Question...will be interesting to see who chimes in. I got 03,07,19 covered but I have a solid excuse for 58/59 as I wasn't born yet.

I was at 03, 07, and unfortunately 2011. That last one was a quiet car ride back to BR. I remember me and my brother just looking at each other silently when Jefferson tossed the ball right to the Bama defender.

Don’t have that but got 72 Ole Miss and 03,07,19. The 72 game was probably the most exciting I’ve seen!
