Talking College Football History: Dan Spivey

Not all of our segments on this podcast are the "glory days" of college football.  Our guest this week is "Dangerous" Dan Spivey.  You should remember Dan Spivey as a professional wrestler if you followed it in the mid-1980s through the mid-1990s.  He ended his career as the character "Waylon Mercy" in the WWF.  Dan played football at Georgia (1971-1974) and was a pre-season All-American as a defensive lineman before a knee injury derailed his NFL dreams.  Dan has no love lost for the circumstances surrounding his football career, but he has turned that situation around and counseled others to avoid the pitfalls he suffered during his life.  Dan talks about college football during the time he played and the circumstances that shaped his life.
