RIP. Always sad to hear these things. But, I believe he's going to that Tiger Stadium in the sky, where we always play well, nothing's wrong with the stadium, all fans are great, visiting and home team alike, And every game is played at Satuday night before a sold out crowd under perfect weather conditions:geaux:
