without a doubt
began reading him when he was UT football bear writer while Tom Siler was sports editor. Knew Tom well. Marvin has continued to be one of the best writers who i are still active. I loved being associated w/ Bud

I haven't shed a tear all season, but watching this gentleman toss out a pitch on Saturday might finally bust the dam.

I'm glad they got some of his stories down on paper.

Me too. that was when Sports writers were reporters and not editors. Even sports radio. broadcasters believe they are experts rather than sports talk broadcasters. They think they are the experts when they actually are boring with their yelling at each other while on the air. Can not stand them and have stopped listening to them.
