They should put a statue or plaque of him up near or on the stadium.

He gave me my first loan when he was with City Nat'l Bank in Tuscaloosa. Eddie was a good man, and I'll pray for him and his family.

Eddie came with Jeff Allen to the Red Elephants club in Huntsville before the season started. He was hilarious with his stories and how he made it sound like he never backed down from Saban.
RIP Mr. Conyers. Thanks for all you contributed to the University

RIP to a true UA icon. I hope that AD Byrne does something special to honor this man and his service.

If the referees changing room isn't already named for him, it should be.

Joe Namath was practicing as the starting QB when he started. Think of the number of legendary players he pissed off during practices through the years lol.
What a life. RIP.
And great idea about the changing room...Hopefully that's already in motion.

Chills man.
Eddie has to be the last employed link this program has to the Bryant Era.
Now we're down to living connections.

RIP to Eddie. He loved the Tide. I always laugh when Coach Saban talks about how many times he fired Eddie and he would just keep showing back up.
Im sure the 1st thing Coach Saban is gonna do in heaven when his time comes is find Eddie and fire his arse one last time.
