Title: Re: Kenny Stabler Has Passed Away Post by: SUPERCOACH on July 09, 2015, 05:40:02 PM It is unconfirmed and they pulled the article. I just saw it at T-news and now it is gone. :dunno:
Title: Re: Kenny Stabler Has Passed Away Post by: Bamaphile on July 09, 2015, 05:44:31 PM I just saw that, SC.
http://oak.247sports.com/Bolt/UPDATE-Kenny-Stablers-death-unconfirmed-38132875 It's amazing that two supposedly respectable news outlets would report something like that without making 100% sure that it was true. Title: Re: Kenny Stabler Has Passed Away Post by: SUPERCOACH on July 09, 2015, 05:45:25 PM :pray:
Praying for a mistake. Title: Re: Kenny Stabler Has Passed Away Post by: SUPERCOACH on July 09, 2015, 05:47:29 PM Well I found the "source": :facepalm:

Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Sweet Home Alabama" was one of the songs playing in the background. This is a sad day for the Bama nation. Title: Re: Kenny Stabler Has Passed Away Post by: bama87 on July 09, 2015, 07:14:04 PM RIP Snake! Thank you for all you have done in your service to the U of A! Best just growled at you, I bet!
Title: Re: Kenny Stabler Has Passed Away Post by: 2Stater on July 09, 2015, 07:25:27 PM Wow, just got home and saw this. Very sad day for the Bama faithful. The first Bama football game I ever went to was the 1967 Ole Miss - Alabama game, with the Snake at QB. I have a hat that was autographed by him. :(
Prayers to the family. :pray: Title: Re: Kenny Stabler Has Passed Away Post by: Red Elephant on July 09, 2015, 07:34:08 PM Sad day indeed. :(

I love him and Bilentikof. Fred was a perfect target and Kenny was on time. Dave Casper was the rollin man I will always remember that played with Kenny. Great years for a kid like me. RTR!

I ran into him several times there. I always liked the Pink Pony but it was always more fun if Kenny was there. You never knew who would be with him. Usually he was with a former Bama or NFL player. Kenny was one of a kind. There will never be another one like him. Title: Re: Kenny Stabler Has Passed Away Post by: McBaman on July 10, 2015, 09:43:50 AM Shocked to read this news. I was in school with Kenny, two years behind him. I saw more games with Snake at QB than any other Bama QB. I am overcome with a flood of great memories. RIP Snake.
