Forget spreading my ashes. If my friends don't find a way to secretly bury me under Kyle Field, I'm gonna be ticked.

LOL that's kinda funny.

Just figure out which way the winds blowing on game day and go up in the nosebleed with large ziplock upwind, open up and shake and let everyone get some, like the Big Lobowsky.

I want my ashes mixed into the concrete for use in a future Olsen Field renovation.

Maybe this will lift the curse.

Possible solution!!!???

Vacuumed em up & put em in a jar?


What a pos

Just bury me face down under the turf so everyone can kiss my BAS ass.

Can you shoot t-shirts into Kyle stands at the same time??

Kinda sounds like Nick was speaking about Leo doing this and not him.

Spread my father's ashes on Kyle after midnight yell practice in 1986. Ags beat TCU 74-10 the next day. RC Slocum got a kick out of the story.

Maybe you need to read it again- it was NOT our current manager that did that. He's narrating the story.



BTW, i presume he was talking about the crazy Billy Pickard, (Mentions "long time" manager). Pickard wqs the manager from Bear Bryant to Mike Sherman!

Billy Pickard told me one time that cremated ashes isn't some fine dust that you can just water into the soil. It's chunks of bones that would ruin a mower. That's why they don't like ashed on Kyle Field.

Vacuumed them up?! I'm sure he got them all in grass field. I really doubt that good bull story.

Think about all those people who got their ashes spread on Kyle Field before they rebuilt the stadium.

The first thing they did on the rebuild was haul out dirt to lower the field by eight feet. All those ashes are now in a pasture somewhere out west of town.
