Ralph Norwood was one bad SOB on the field...and I mean that as the ultimate compliment. Loved that guy.

Yep. Was a Nissan 300zx I believe.

Ralph flat out dominated Syracuse in the 1988 Hall of Fame bowl. Tigers lost but RN was a beast.

He was a bad man. I remember him blowing up Ohio State before he was injured in the game. After his injury, LSU couldnt move the ball. He was a beast.

RIP

Who was the OL that was killed by a drunk driver in the early 2000s? I think he went to Episcopal but I'm not sure. He would've been a freshman in 1998.

Eric was at his home cutting his grass when a drunk driver came into his yard and hit him. He was going the opposite way as the car because had he seen it coming he would have flattened it.

Went to elementary school with Wally Pontiff.

Dude had so much swag - even as a kid - it was unreal.
