R.I.P. Burt Reynolds

[IdaGriz01]

Not Griz and not FCS, but sports-relevant. Died a few hours ago. He was 82.

Hard to say what was my favorite Reynolds movie, but Smokey and the Bandit was right up there.

RIP Bandit hahaha
Let's hope him and Snowman are together

Maybe Don Williams will shake his hand for me and tell him I've seen all his movies.

Six degrees of Montana Football.

1)Burt Reynolds, an amazing persona and decent actor, died today.
2)He was a highly touted recruit that played RB at Florida St until knee injuries shortened his career.
3)In 2017 FSU was forced to defend that its win over FCS opponent Delaware St, which made FSU 6-6, counted towards their bowl eligibility.
4)Delaware St is an FCS school and instate rival(sorta) to FCS power Delaware.
5)One of the most memorable defeats for me, a 48-49 loss to Delaware with the game winning TD coming in the final moments over the outstretched hand of Blaine McEllmurry at Washington Grizzly Stadium.
6)Go Griz!!

3 degrees of separation....

1. R.I.P. to Mr Reynolds
2. He felt that “Deliverance” was his best performance.
3. Griz football 1995 & 2001 teams was our best deliverance with NC teams.

Funny tweet I saw yesterday: "I don't view Burt Reynolds as having died...I prefer to believe that God just needed 400 cases of Coors".

5)..the outstretched hand of Todd Ericson senior from Butte. Delaware ran and ran and ran and ran...then threw that game winner. Ericson slightly mistimed the jump and it got over him. He was first team all conference that year and quite a player for the Griz. I think McElmurry was a soph.

That’s it. You’re correct. I have not been kind to my memory over the years and names and individuals have began to blend but the image of the ball just out of the reach of Erickson sailing into the receivers hands while viewing from my seat at about the 25 yard line will never go away.
