I know all about Bart Starr's pro career with the Packers and I know he is good man that represents UA well. I do not know anything about his playing days at Alabama. This explains why. This book looks like a good read.

Quote
Starr’s time at the Capstone occurred during the nadir of the storied program. Under head coach Red Drew, Alabama football became a study in mediocrity that his successor JB Whitworth took to the depths of futility. Starr not only had the misfortune to play for both of these coaches, the latter benched him for his entire senior season.

A fortunate connection with the Green Bay organization through Alabama basketball coach Johnny Dee got Starr a tryout. Whitworth proved as useless as ever, not even providing Starr footballs to use in order to practice for the pro audition.

Lombardi’s Packers, with Starr under center, revolutionized the NFL. They went on to win five NFL championships over the next eight years. That included victories in Super Bowl I and II. The Packers style of play put an indelible stamp on the game and their success in the early era of television helped turn the league into the institution it later became.

I've only had one personal encounter with Mr. Starr and I must say, he was a total jerk.  Sad

I have never met him personally but you are the first person I have ever heard speak poorly of him. Most people can not say enough good things about him.

It happened at the RISE Golf Tournament, he was never invited to play again.

I just apologized to him for his being angry and let it go, he doesn't know me personally and I was running the golf tournament.

That's disappointing to hear. Sad  I usually try, "Is something else bothering you...?"

I could understand him being a little upset with the situation that we had that day but he jumped all over a young man (high school student) that had volunteered to help with the tournament and I tried to calm Bart but that didn't happen. I don't think he really wanted to be there that day but it was Coach Stallings tournament and he had made a donation to RISE. I was a big fan of his until that happened.
