BJ, I've thought of several ways to honor Fumble through our Quiz Bowl team:

1. we have already retired his jersey and given his red Quiz Bowl polo to his Mrs. Fumble.
2. our annual faculty scrimmage will be renamed the Jeff Taylor Memorial Faculty Scrimmage.
3. the high scorer on our Quiz Bowl team each year will receive a "Taylor trophy".

I like these ideas, Cider. Let his legacy live on!

I posted this is the 101 section but I wanted to post the update here as well:

I talked to Mrs FR and got a quick update on the scholarship.

Thanks to donations, around $4000 has been raised and Vance Pickard (head of the Athletic Training Program) wants to work to have this scholarship be self funding eventually. There is talk of doing all sorts of fundraising events (a golf tournament among them) and Mrs FR has also said she would very much like to see LU and LC play in a benefit baseball game.

I was sitting here thinking about what Fumble would want to do and I came up with an idea.

As we know, FR was a professor in the Athletic Training Program. I think that we, as a FlameFans community, ought to get together and create a scholarship in his name, and have it awarded to an outstanding athletuc training student who exhibits the characteristics both on and off the field that made him such a joy to be around.

I was sitting here today and randomly thought about this...I was at the presentation of the scholarship end of last school year and it amazes me how its grown from this simple post...and the legacy that FR left both here and throughout the Big South and the ODAC
