Seems I remember back in the early 2000s the university giving him a big body Caddy during a game to commemorate 50 yrs of service? Can anyone confirm?

One of the few things Templeton did right if this was the case.

Yes that happened. I was at the game. Also, I have a Dawgsbite newspaper somewhere with the story. So it would have been mid 1990s.

It was a gold Buick. I used to pass him on the way to games on 45 driving it. I think it was wrecked and replaced with another one.

I actually thought it was Rudy Dossett in Tupelo that provided it. Maybe he provided the replacement one.
