Hmmm ... no, didn't attend any (I was 10). If memory serves, this was the only year that Vince Dooley recorded a losing record. The year before they won the SEC title (only one loss) before getting trounced by National Champion Pitt in the Sugar Bowl. But it was just a few years later (1980) that they went undefeated, beating the Fighting Irish in the Sugar Bowl and winning the National Title. I'll gladly suffer one mediocre rebuilding season if history repeats itself like that.
