Bob covered the Hogs since 1981 and was a fixture at SEC Media Days.

He had a heart attack after the Arkansas/Missouri game.

His quick wit was amazing. It'll be such an empty feeling going forward at pressers post Hog games now. He always had the first and last questions.

Sad, sad news.

He was always the most interesting questioner at SEC Media Days. RIP

That really sucks because there are so few good ones any longer.

Honestly, I wish there wasn’t even a “trophy.”
