Coach Rob WE MISS YA…..

Ahhhhhhhhh Snap! What up Tigers? Holding up that Tiger Spirit all the way up here in Springfield, Illinois. Oh those College Days on the Yard. Spivey’s Chicken, Penny’s Hamburgers, The Grambling Gospel Connection, Ms. Lee in the Mail Room, Movie Night in the Auditorium, Playing Basketball in the Old Girls Gym with Trumaine Johnson, Mike Williams, Benny Thompson (My New Orleans Home Boy, Former Saints Player), and all the members of the Crescent City Gang (Holly Grove) and my roommate Thomas A. Ellis of Alexandria, La., and Michael Fellows from Oakland California,

J. D. “Sex” Aaron, and D. A. Aaron of Alexandria, and that whole Alexandria Connection,Nachos from Ruston, Walking the trail behind the Nutrition Building, Those once a month Birthday Dinners in McCall Hall (Half a Chicken, Steak and Bake Potato, 20 table long cake. The Old Drew Hall room 525-where I received my call to the Gospel Ministry over 27 years ago, Watching television at the Catholic Church, Hanging out with our spiritual families, the Late Dr. Phillip Young, Dr. and Mrs. Carter (Coach Patrick’s parents) Dr. Anderson, Dr. Bailey, and my lady, Dr. Helen Richards, and the woman who kept me focus-Dr. Ann Smart Williams (AKA),Mrs. Marshall(Rev. Brandon Marshall’s Mother),Coach Lee, Dr. Archibald,and how can I forget Coach Hobdy who hired me to tutor a couple of Basketball players paying me $250.00 every two weeks, and the awesome Coach Eddie Robinson who would encourage me on Sunday’s at the New Rocky Valley Baptist Church as he would push his mother in law in her wheel chair,and Dr. Robert Williams who gave me a scholarship for the Choir, and Old deep singing Fred, Man, oh man, and last but not least, the distinguished Brothers of Delta Sig-Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., my brothers, 111119-06′ (Brother “Never Alone” Epsilon Psi Lambda). When you say Grambling, I say Rev. Dr. Nat Clark (The man among men) who befriended me, taught me, exposed my gift, and taught me to appreciate History, and to know my History. I can’t help but get full thinking about those College Days on the yard, even as a Senior Pastor all the way up here in Springfield, Illinois at the Pleasant Grove Baptist Church. We rocked, we ruled, we left a mark on the yeard, and in on the fifty yard line of the now famous Eddie Robinson’s Stadium, we partied all night long when it was nothing but a hole. We rolled down to the bottom, and had the time of our lives, Earl Wayne, Lee Fields, Azzie Rowe, and other members of the Grambling Gospel Connection.

I want to close by saying, GSU GSU I thought You Knew Baby! I thought You knew!

“Fight for Dear Ole Grambling, Fight, we’re going to win, we’re the pride of the USA.”
