He only was on the practice field. A good man. Don't confuse him with game time officials. He did what he loved. I'd bet he never threw a flag in his life, at least not on a good player at practice.

He'd have died 20 yrs ago if Bama replaced him with a younger kid. --"Rest well, my friend. Your spirit will always be with the Crimson Tide."

Pretty sure SEC refs are bought and paid for by Our Lady of the Lake.
