Beskrivelse
From the time he enrolled as a San Diego State freshman in the fall of 1946 until his passing in October 2017, Tom Ables was a dedicated fan of Aztec football; the embodiment of what it means to be an "Aztec for Life." In August 1946 he was a battleship sailor aboard the USS Alabama. In September he was the sports editor of the school newspaper. Before his freshman year ended he was the school's first sports publicity director. That launched his 70-year career in public relations and his love for Aztec athletics. Tom was there for 788 of the 794 Aztec football games played since his freshman year at State. He witnessed all the great ones: Rashaad Penny, D.J. Pumphrey, Marshall Faulk, Dennis Shaw, Haven Moses and countless other great Aztecs. And, of course, one of the most brilliant football minds of all time, coach Don Coryell. Join Tom on a journey through the great games, players, coaches and seasons; Aztec record-holders and hall-of-famers; and games played in world famous stadiums, and some truly bizarre fields.
