I tracked Roy Tatum down pretty much just to hear about his double life as “Bart Raynolds” (and Bigfoot) because, dang, that’s a story, and you can read about it here. But, sure, yes of course, Roy, let’s actually talk Auburn football. Tell me something good.

It did not take long.

He’d probably never played better, and he’d probably never been more miserable. The rain, the rain, the rain. The cold. The mud. The run. The tackle. The tackle, Lord, the tackle. Everybody’s got a story about it.
