What years was he a beat writer for us? I recall him being REALLY good.

RIP.

 

[oh yeah]

He’s the first beat writer I really remember. I followed his stuff with the nba just because of how good he was. Seems like he left because he wanted to move to Starkville to cover the bulldogs and the cl was not down for that

That really sucks. Met him several times back in the 90's in Starkville. He always seemed to have a genuine love for writing about sports.

That sucks. He was great on our beat.

I remember them back to about the time Sekou was born but he was the best period.
