Some Odd Moments in Modern Jordan-Hare History
by Van Plexico

1994: LSU Blocks Craig's View
Subbing for an ineffective Patrick Nix, Dameyune Craig looked to the sideline to get the play from Terry Bowden. He couldn't see the signal, though-- an LSU player was intentionally standing between him and the coach. When Craig moved, so did the LSU player. Craig finally had to burn a timeout and go to the sidelines just to get the play signal. I've never seen this happen in any game before or since.

1989: Gary Darnell Shouting Match
Moments earlier, interim Florida coach Gary Darnell's Gators had been beaten on a last-second pass from Reggie Slack to Shane Wasden. As he trotted off the field, Darnell actually paused to exchange shouted insults with Auburn fans in the stands, as several AU students were handcuffed nearby for jumping onto the field. Darnell would not be back the next year for Florida.

1996: Where there's Smoke, there's Fire!
Trailing LSU in '96, the Tigers desperately needed a spark. Unfortunately, it wasn't the offense that caught fire-- it was the building across the street! Tailgaters had left a grill burning under a car, and the fire quickly spread to the old gymnastics facility nearby. Fans in the stadium and watching on ESPN witnessed flames roaring above the side of Jordan-Hare even as the game continued below.

1996: Was Uga a Drug Dog?
After a routine catch, AU WR Robert Baker ran out of bounds--and directly into the line of fire of Georgia's mascot, Uga. Before Baker fully realized what was happening, the dawg snapped at Baker's crotch--narrowly missing doing serious damage! The photo has gone on to become a favorite of Dawg fans everywhere, unfortunately. Baker was later kicked off the team and jailed for trafficking cocaine, begging the question-- what exactly was Uga smelling that got him so fired up?

1986: Nothing Stinks Like a Wet Dawg
Following an upset 20-16 win over Auburn, Dawg fans ran onto the field at Jordan-Hare and began ripping up pieces of turf. The stadium officials--with Vince Dooley's okay!-- proceeded to turn the firehoses not only on the UGA fans on the field, but on those still in the stands!
