I don't know, but I pulled up the obit', and it doesn't look like he went to UT (not that that answers the question).

I spent quite a bit of time around Katy and Robert, and found them both to be charming in person.  We did a half-dozen tailgates together, and that usually included drinks and dinner the night before the game (and the Costco trip with my horse trailer) and brunch or lunch the morning after.   

At a Holiday Bowl "pregame" the night before, by about 10 PM, everybody else was too tired to continue partying and went to their hotels.  It ended up just me and Scott Wilson.  Of course, I  knew of his reputation, but I'd never met him.  We end up in some shitty San Diego bar, and I'm pretty sure I'm gonna fuck this bartender...a hot blackfoot Indian chick from Kansas.  Wilson cockblocked me and ruined the whole thing.

That is sad and all, but what type of smooth brain has that large family with a bun in the oven - and at least one kid for a decade - and not have a drop of life insurance?

And his grandfather apparently was Charles Maund, and brother of convicted murderer Erik Maund.  Probably didn't actually need life insurance, or a GoFundMe.

RIP, regardless.

Glad to have Machinator back. He said he'll stay until the season opener. Is there a known backstory there I'm unaware of?

Anyone know what's up with @deadshank?  He's a quality poster on a lot of threads, but he hasn't logged in since June 6.  Hunting season is upon us and we need to hear about his adventures at deer camp.

meh. These are recent quotes for a 20 year term policy with a half mil payout.   It’s doable if you want protection. I never said it was totally painless. 

#1919

Wow.  this was from a recent survey by nerd wallet.  They also say that John Hancock has a specialty policy for that which includes other services to help the diabetic client patient with weight management and other issues. The insurance company proactively seeks to keep the insured in good health.

Thunder, I can’t vouch for the accuracy.  I absolutely could be full of shit.

Butch Merrit, one of the old time posters from Austin 360 passed away, he was a fun fellow.  If you ever spent time at Poodies, you would have met. Butch.  RIP brother.

#1923

Oh my god, that's awful to hear. RIP you loquacious man.

Truly shocked to hear this.

I met loopy at a CA bowl game.  I can't remember if it was Rose or Holiday.  He was with a handful of other guys that all piled in a van and made the drive straight-thru.   Loopy was cool as shit.

One of that group...a younger black dude (I can't remember his handle but he was a known poster), being a younger dude and therefore a dumbshit, came out without anything other than a Tshirt. It was chlly.  I had an extra burnt orange lined-windbreaker and I donated it to him.  He was very appreciative.  I hate that I can't remember his handle.

That’s too bad Pancho said no twice. But hey, props for respecting it. 
 


 

 

 

Seriously though, that’s pretty cool. 

#1929

I don't think he was "Pancho" in those days, and I wasn't Gil Bang

 

But yeah...a couple of random assholes from a brief encounter  2 decades ago that we both recall, and reconnect a bit? yeah, it's cool.

Blast from the past - at the Vegas airport, and just bumped into…Skipperj. SOB actually RECOGNIZED ME from a happy hour years ago. He says he ain’t around here anymore, but he’s alive and well.

He also documented himself replacing his toilet one night, I believe, while drinking brown water.

Edit: To clarify, SKJ (Sofa King Jive) is the house painter. SkipperJ documented a family vacay when he wore his world famous red shorts at Disney World.

Don’t be dragging me into your wretched shit.  If brisket says I’m dead, torch every post.  My kids don’t need a digital archive.  

Fuck that, I’m thinking a published anthology!

Rode in a car from Vegas to the USC Rose Bowl with Loopy driving. He was the most careful driver ever. Figured it had to do with keeping his record clean for his job.

Bought RRR tickets off him like 6 years ago. Good dude

#1947

skipperj is my dawg. he made the “football freestyle” video back on TOS that got featured on si.com and had 50,000+ views. he did that out of boredom while waiting for our game to start the day of the infamous 2009 big xii title game. since then we’ve caught several arsenal games at the tavern and even tailgated with thujone and longhorngirlie. hopefully he’ll make a return appearance if arsenal ever wins the premier league.

#1948

Shit note that I think about it I also got drunk with him a few years ago street usc game or before. Not sure but man anyone who interacts here should really try to meet up. Great group of people that I never would have met in my life

Honestly, I think it should be done. Especially since his real name and picture have been added here. If his kids search their dad in a few years they'll stumble upon the archives of this pretty easily I'd imagine.
