@FletcherPage I am sure Loran and I will have a usual Sunday conversation under the oak tree on the Veranda at the Club House. A tradition since I have known Loran in the late 70's. PS: My first Masters was 3 years after his, as a 14yr old in 1963.

Two decades after he gave a "galvanizing" speech on the eve of UGA's 2005 SEC championship season, D.J. Shockley will return to Sanford Stadium to deliver another one. That's a good excuse to write about one of the most beloved players in Bulldogs history ajc.com/news/2026/03/d…
