He was battling for the past 8 years and you could never tell. They gave him 5 years to live and he got an extra 3 out of it. Received some bad news about a month ago


I appreciate the info...I had no idea he was sick. He was always what I hoped to be when I called into the show on 1210. Unfortunately I was never as entertaining . Probably why I'm never on radio, lol

Damn I miss that place from back in the day.

Sad news on the passing, especially at only 52.

Met him at Tuesday Night Trivia on Wednesday at Hooters on Siegen. Always fun to talk to.

I saw nothing on his Facebook page...RIP Buddy!

When great Tiger fans die now I always think I’m happy they got to experience 2019. RIP Roscoe.

He wasn’t the same after his stroke. He had a hard time getting around, but he was never the type to let on about how he was doing. He had gotten a lot quieter in the last year or so.

RIP Robb

52, that’s it? It seems like he was calling in 30 years ago



In 1992, 22 yr olds called into the radio/sports shows b/c that was the only way to get your opinion shared and questions answered.

Tailgated with him a lot. Great Tiger. Was there in Tucson for the AZ game. Had a pre-game blow out at Fat Tuesdays. RIP TIGER!
