frick that’s terrible. He’s kind of been our unofficial mascot/cheerleader and it’s so awesome to see him in the stands.

RIP buddy

Anyone know him/his family? I’m sure we could get a ton of people to donate to a GoFundMe for funeral expenses or something.

Life isn't fair and everybody has an expiration date but with that being said why so soon for this energetic guy. He was wonderful for the culture here shoot he was real FUNNY and he worked hard to get STUDENTS at games to cheer LOUD! His SEAT should never be sat in because FLUFF was a LEGEND. FLUFF was part of the reason for the CULTURE CHANGE in Tuscaloosa. REST EASY FLUFF...

Hopefully that information will come out in coming days. Of course, I won’t be shocked if Nate Oats, Greg Byrne, and/or the athletic department take care of the costs.

You gotta think Oats/the basketball program will cover expenses like that if the family needed it. I’d hope so at least.

Old Bama fan here..... Emily Pitek, Chief and Fluff are the Bama Super Fan legends. I can't believe one is already gone.

My favorite part is they all supported ALL Bama Athletics during their time. Softball, Gymnastics, Volleyball, Soccer, I saw them at everything at one point or another, yelling loud and making the crowd a deciding factor.

According to Twitter is was Covid and Pneumonia. That's a deadly combo.
