interestingly enough, he was not mac brown's recruit. major has largely insinuated that as the reason brown benched him for simms. if my memory serves me, major's dad, larry, attended alabama. i think that maybe he's originally from there, as well.
Does anyone else remember when we recruited Applewhite? He made his official visit during the LSU/Alabama game. I can not remember all of the details, but either when Alabama came onto the field or when Bama scored he was seen on the sidelines jumping up and down and cheering for them.:angryfire He comes from a big Bama family and is is named after Major Ogilvie (Bama RB from late 70's). I think his Dad used to be president of the Bama Alumni Assoc. As far as I'm concerned we do not need him and he can rot in Alabama or Texas. :thumb: :geauxtigs
Applewhite will be QB coach at Syracuse... Major gets promotion, will be quarterbacks coach for Robinson. http://www.statesman.com/horns/content/sports/01/17major.html
If the other post about Applewhite being born in '78 is true, I wonder how he was named after a running back from the early '80's? I know you can wait a little bit on the birth certificate, but 2+ years!?! Guess they just called him "Hey you" for a while. :rofl:
Mistake on my part, he played in the late 70's. I was a young Nutria back then. I like the "Hey You" line :lol:
