Just received an email from former SID Alan Cannon, who said Coach Slocum saw this thread:

Here's the message from AC: "Don't know if some rumor is circulating but Coach Slocum is looking forward to seeing many of the 1975 Aggie football players and coaches later tonight at a reception and the 1975 Aggie squad will be recognized during the Florida football game.

I spoke to Coach today."

Apparently written by a 5 year old.

Not sure how anyone would think that was a legitimate news site.

In case anyone doesn't remember, Coach Slocum rang the bell in 2022:

I warmed up on the driving range next to him last Friday. He had a new driver. He wasn't long (maybe 225 yards), but damn if he wasn't nails accurate every damn time!

Ha.

Circa Fall 92, I hit balls next to him at a range off Hwy 6 near that BA Baptist Church that was newly built. Don't think the range is there anymore.

He could hit em', but I was hittin' um straighter and longer...

No doubt and that is a shame. I imagine he'll enjoy visiting with the players from 75 particularly since he was instrumental in building that very talented team.

Glad to hear this report was fake news. The fact that no other source reported it should have been a red flag.
