As we approach tonight’s game with a new coach and staff and a renewed interest in our team and program, I’ve been thinking of Bill and what he meant to TU and the various programs.
He was a tremendous fan and an even better person. I know he would be super excited for tonight’s kickoff. Maybe it’s just that I’m getting older, but I’ve been thinking of Bill and his hospitality of having tailgating parties at his place before games.
I met so many wonderful fans, and many of you are still on the boards cheering our teams on. Bill was always so kind and hospitable to me and many others. I don’t get to drive down for games anymore due to family obligations, but I’m always excited for the games, more so this year.
I know Bill’s TU spirit is alive and present in all those who knew him. Here’s a shoutout to Bill, before the 1st game of a new and better era for Tulsa football. I’m sure he has converted St Peter and many saints and angels into Tulsa fans and he’ll be watching the game with them from his perfect Catbird seat.
We miss you Bill, but will never forget you.
