Don't remember who told me this...

but apparently Benson met his wife Gail at mass in the St. Louis Cathedral. She was a reader and he saw her and was so enamored, he got up and walked all the way behind the alter just to talk to her.

Non sequitur contest?

I was down in Dixie Land, played a silver fiddle
Played it loud and then the man broke it down the middle.

No...

The St. Louis Cathedral on the side reminded me of the story.

“he got up and walked all the way behind the alter just to talk to her”

… at which point, he was molested by a priest. Same story I heard, too.

Lucky

I got to try on coach Bill Johnson’s ring. Pictures just don’t do them justice.

Did he let you try on his white shoes, as well?

No, but I know him for NSU

Saw him in a restaurant in Natchitoches. He was in for the LA Sports Hall of Fame inductions. Super nice guy. He let me and my wife try it on. It is beautiful.

oh, ok

He does sound VERY nice. I love the sound bites of him talking to players and coaches on the sidelines during the playoffs – I love his country-cajun accent…

You're a Demon?

My dad was a Demon. He even did the football games on radio. Waaaaaayyyy back.

It was worth the wait.

Yep

Started in ’81 finished in ’92 (took several years off in between). What was his name?

Ha ha

Nice try. I reveal that and Stuart has all the info he needs to hunt me down like a dog. Or with a dog. I’m a little hazy on that. For a dog?

It was worth the wait.
