He was also the weather guy on WAFB in the 1960s. He had a promotion for kids who sent in a postcard to the station. When their postcard was picked, he'd announce their name and hometown on TV, and then mail that night's weather map (in those days it was done on poster paper--no electronic presentations), with his autograph to the winner. I got mine circa 1965; I kept it for a long time.
Wow....That's part of the old Baton Rouge we remember! Baton Rouge will always be home- but it's sad that we've lost that "sense of small town community" feel. The "good old days" really were.

Sid was great. Remember him as Buckskin Bill's sidekick?
But Big Red and his booming TIGER BAIT was the best. He'd make all these kids look foolish.

Sid was great in football, but even better at basketball games. Sid and Daddy Dale, those were the days. Oh, and Big Red too booming Tiger Bait better than anyone I've heard.
Damn those are good memories. I started going to FB games in '58, and Sid's voice was a big part of the TS experience. Big Red was awesome.
