My husband has this picture prominently displayed in his office. He really was what Auburn is all about.

I have one of those as well on my Auburn Wall of Fame! All are signed. Bottom left is Chizik, on a recruiting letter.

I bet game watch parties at your house are tame affairs.

My wife won’t stay home. I am calm until I am not!

I can’t stand to watch our games with anybody else.  Like you, I start off calm until it gets really interesting.  My dog feels the anxiety and watches me intently.  If I sit down, he comes over and puts his paw on me to calm me down.

And he was buried under the tree with no casket...….just covered by a sheet. Unfortunately the official cause of death was Covid-19 and counted as one of the three deaths in Lee County Monday attributed to the virus.

Are you serious about this? I would like documented proof. I had hoped they wouldn't use Coach Dye as part of the Covid-19 statistics, since it was NOT the cause of death and he was asymptomatic. 

Everything I have read so far only has said his issues were kidney related, and he has had a history of poor kidney and liver issues. THe only thing they have written is that he tested positive for Covid.

Respectfully, please take that elsewhere.

I can't provide proof of any of this so I deleted the post. I will say that I have heard from several health workers that some hospitals are attributing the cause of death to Covid-19 when there are maybe a couple of choices because they are getting reimbursement in some way for Covid-19 deaths. I fully agree with you on the actual cause of Coach Dye's death and didn't mean to imply otherwise. I would also correct my post to say that, contrary to what a usually reliable source old me, Coach WAS buried in a casket.

I have one too @3rdgeneration. Glad I had the opportunity to meet him a couple of times.
