Curley supposedly got halfway through the talk, got confused, and finally just gave up after cursing about it for a minute.

Poor bastard couldn't win for losing.In what turned out to be his last season,1994,he spoke up here at the Birmingham Monday Morning Quarterback Club.Gotta set the stage.......

This was about 4 weeks after the infamous Jamie Howard fiasco in Auburn.The past weekend,Auburn had upset #1 Florida in Gainesville and Alabama and held off Tennessee in Knoxville.Place was packed ,500 or so,rocking and rolling ,fired up fans.A local tv guy put togethor a 4 or 5 minute video highlighting Auburn and Alabama's wins with his voice over -- on tape,he wasn't there.

If you recall,Florida led 33-29 with about 3 minutes left,but Spurrier couldn't sit on a lead and tried to get another score.Keep in mind Hallman is sitting right on stage,dead center while this is being shown behind the dais.

As Florida's QB Dean is being shown about to throw his fateful pick that led to Auburn's dramatic win,the sports guy booms out "and now its time for the CURLEY HALLMAN bonehead play of the week award!" The place just broke up in laughter. I mean,it was brutal.
