My Grizmas wish, Papa Bear

For me personally, i would love a video clip from Papa Bear talking to the fan base and wishing the Griz on to Frisco.

...after all, he did start this anxiety.

Love Bobby, Miss Papa. Hope he watched last week.

Now, all of you who know someone, lets get him and Joe Glenn on some video. Itd make an ol alum like me sit even taller.

Re emphasizing why the alumni wanted Campus drive renamed before.

It started with Papa. Would just love a Go Griz, from Papa
 
If anyone knows how to reach Don Read, please message me here or email me [email protected]. I've been trying to get ahold of him for years. When we did our 25th anniversary of the 1995 Griz podcast series, we had every important figure from that team except Coach Read. And none of his former players quite knew how to get a hold of him, but certainly all wanted to hear from him and know he's doing ok. Any help is much appreciated!

Colter,
Have you reached out to Haslam or anybody within the administration? I have to think someone within those walls knows how to contact him.

Don last was an advisor to OSU football and was living in Corvalis. Maybe a check with appropriate OSU administrators? Or Jonathan Smith? Bill Moos?

Or Bruce, his son. I believe Bruce was also a coach, current or formerly
 
When I was maybe 14, this is about 2000, I became so infatuated with a photo of Papa Bear leading a team prayer in the tunnel. Judging by the Griz unis, it was late 80s, early 90s. They had stripes on the shoulders still. I want to say Shalon Baker is in it.

Anyway, my dad reached out to Don's wife, Phyllis, and got that puppy signed. Gave it to me for Christmas.

Papa Bear signed:

Dear (503Griz),

Thanks for being a Griz. Thanks for being family.
-Don Read
