Catbird would have loved this team

I thought of Bill tonight while singing the Alma Mater after the game. He would be very pleased with the season so far.

I thought about him recently. Such a sweet man. I pissed him off so many times, but he always showed such love and kindness. I got to know him a little bit and it was a really special thing.

One thing that Catbird wouldn’t like is the fans who have let their hatred of the coach affect their ability to enjoy the games. That would make him sad.

And Catbird would have still been having tailgates at his place. I met several board oldtimers at those tailgates.

We started hanging out together. (By the way I miss Tom also. He was the last tie to my old days at TU.) But it was amazing how the team felt about the Bird. He went to East Carolina on the team plane. The coach did his eulogy. I had the honor of helping carry him home.

If you sat with him at a football game, you were interrupted by graduates bringing their babies for him to meet.

He was a joy to be around. Special person. I showed up at a driveway tailgate. Didn't know him or anyone before arriving. He was so nice and welcomed me as if he had known me for years.
I really miss and looked forward to reading his end of season stories about each senior player in The Cambird Column. He shared his thoughts and insight about every senior, didn’t matter if they were a starter or never got into a game. He got to know every player during their TU careers.
I loved how he put people in their place, if they were acting out on the message board.
He was a great fan and ambassador of Tulsa football. Miss that guy.

I also went to several tailgates at catbirds house. He was always very welcoming even though I didn’t know anyone there.

And he never would have said one negative word about the coach or any of the players.

He was, indeed, a very special man. I miss the old bird every day.

He was, indeed, a very special man. I miss the old bird every day.

I think of him at times and when I do I always end up smiling. He truly was a special man. I think everyone that knew him misses him.

sonofbird is a special man too...and a pretty darn good ball striker!

Catbird was not only a great fan, but a great person for the neighborhood!
