Agree...I married one also. UGA has always been my second favorite SEC program, in part because I liked Coach Dooley and later on Mark Richt.
Vince Dooley was a class act, everything he did and stood for was A+
He was a close friend of Jerry Claiborne.

He had a great, long life. He was a good guy, revered down here in Georgia. RIP
Thanks for the kind words. Been a rough 10 days for us Dawgs. Charlie Trippi, regarded by many as UGA's best ever passed at age 100 and now Vince.
I mentioned him in a post just yesterday. "They have the best long snapper I've ever seen."
A gentleman's gentleman.
I lived in Athens twice. I heard him speak once back in 1994. Great story teller as well as coach.
An iconic figure and a credit to his family and profession.
Farewell Coach!
GBB!

At 90 and 100? I'd say those are damn good long lives any of us would take in a heartbeat. Always sad but at they had really longs lives to celebrate.
You’re never ready for something like this, even if they lived a long, wonderful life. Such a wonderful man and father. RIP coach!
Dooley was a great coach and an even better human.
I missed the news about Charlie Trippi. I believe he and Heisman winner Frank Sinkwich played together on one of those great Wally Butts Georgia teams from the 40s. Two All Americans and Hall of Famers in the same backfield -- Legends.
RIP Mr. Dooley. I'm glad he got to witness last year's championship run.
LOVE that he got to see UGA win it all last year - got interviewed on the field etc -- haha -- that was awesome, man
He had that deep south accent going on that my in laws have
They sound a touch classier than us hillbillies
My father introduced me to the career of Charlie Trippi. He was his all time favorite Georgia Bulldog
Just looking at his Wiki page
Did NOT know he was from Mobile,AL or that he played and coached at Auburn
Georgia fans have an odd but interesting relationship with Auburn - I think they actually respect and like one another
Whereas Georgia Tech or Florida -- not so much
Anywho - i think we can ALL agree that UGA needs to humiliate UF today and the Volunteers need to get potty trained in their own back yard (BAD SMOKEY!! BAD DOG!!!))
Hope all yall are with good people today and enjoying this weather -
PS -
For the UGA fans - my in laws are from middle Georgia- place called Dublin ...Laurens Co - you never know whos posting here and where they're from - so maybe that location strikes a chord
