Crimson Red Sports

Two of our best, Jamos and 2Stater, did their hero routine yesterday for Leroy.  Join me in applauding them for the deed.

I'm off early this morning for a road trip, and I'll let them explain details.  Just wanted to post this before I left so they'd get recognition.

Way to go, boys!

I wish all of you could have made the trip with us, what a pleasure it was to meet Mrs. L and Leroy and have the chance to share some good conversation. I now have a better understanding of why Mrs. L and Leroy enjoy catching those catfish, what a beautiful place thay have on the banks of the Flint River.

It's not everyday that you get treated to an airshow while visiting someone but 2 and I were yesterday. There is a training facility for crop dusters located close to Leroy's home and right at dusk yesterday one of the trainees gave us an exhibition and it was a good one.

We had a lovely time sitting and chatting, Leroy has some interesting and fond memories of his growing up years and there was one in particular. He got one of his school yearbooks down and guess who was in it, Lee Harvey Updyke. We got a good laugh out of discussing him and his 15 minutes of fame on the Paul Finebaum show.

Even though we were there for only for a short time, we packed in some good laughs as we shared some of our stories. Leroy and Mrs. L are so thankful to all of the members of CRS for the thoughts and prayers during his long illness and just wish they could meet all of you to thank you.

What a day it was and I'm looking forward to another chance to sit and talk with the two of them. :D :pray:

 #+ Kudos to Jamos and 2 for going to see our friend Leroy. I know he and Mrs. L enjoyed your visit.

Leroy you and Mrs. L are in my daily prayers.

It was, indeed, a great visit. Leroy was in good spirits and the conversation was great. Jamos is exactly right, they have a beautiful place on the peaceful, picturesque Flint River. Wish all of the posters here could have been there. As J said, Mr. and Mrs. Leroy are very grateful for the thoughts and prayers that everyone here expresses to them. We will certainly return for another visit.

J, I pm'd Leroy about this, but we faux pas'ed. It didn't dawn on me until after I dropped you off, but we were actually an hour late. They are on Eastern time.  :lol:

You are so right. :clap:

I'm going to blame it on your friend who you asked to give us directions.  :lol:

She was no friend of mine last night. Dyslexic dame!  :lol:

Good stuff, fellas.   #+


I bet they wondered why y'all never mentioned being an hour late.   :clap:

Not aware of what's going on with Leroy but prayers up for him and his family.  :pray:

Jamos and 2, true friends are there when you need them. Leroy certainly has two good ones.

this is what makes this place Supercoach built for us so special
the great people that gather here are second to none
top shelf , the best of the best , The A Team as we call it around here .

it's great that ya'll got to visit with Leroy and the Misses
only one word to say it all , AWESOME

Leroy , I can say from experience
those two guys are as good as they get , bar none
as is the rest of the folks here .

God Bless you and your family Sir and if a bunch of folks on a WWW
message board pulling and Praying for you helps then you are
in great hands ...
 

Wow!!!  Excellent.  Outstanding.  #+ #+

+1000 e-creds each.

I sort of envy you guys. I would like to thank you for your hearts and doing what Christians are suppose to do. I wish I could have the pleasure to meet Leroy and Mrs L. No thanks would be necessary but just the chance to meet 2 wonderful people that have been described here. Leroy God Bless, and give our love to the MRS. may blessing forever be in your path. Love ya'll. RTR!

Man, that sounds great J. I'm with Ricky; I really envy that you guys had that time together. I would really love to meet all of you guys one of these days; and my prayers are ALWAYS with you, Leroy and Mrs. Leroy.  :pray:

and it continues ...  :worship:
Ricky and CB , one of these days , I hope it's soon  :clap:

Same here, X.  :clap:

J and I were talking last night about what a very special forum this is, indeed. We don't have the numbers that some of the others do, but we are a closer bunch than any of the other forums, IMO. I am not putting down any of the other forums, but it's pretty obvious  that whether we've met each other or not, we seem to be kindred spirits.

Not to go all mushy here, but how many of us regular posters shed no tears at the loss of Taz, Coach Hank Crisp, Navy Chief or even crusty ole WV. My guess is that we've all been at least a little misty-eyed about our fallen brethren.

And when someone is in bad health, or going through a tough time, we are all concerned about their well being. Just look at how many times we've conducted our own all-out searches for members who have disappeared for more than a few days.

This isn't just a football forum to discuss Alabama football. This, to me at least, is a forum where friendships and great camaraderie have been developed, through a common interest.

Leroy is a friend to all of us. That is easy to see within CRS. J and I represented all of Crimson Red Sports during our visit last night. And we were both tickled to death to do so.

Everyone please keep our friend and Mrs. L in your prayers. They very much appreciate it.

SC, you've developed a very special pacle here. Kudos to you, sir!  :toast4:

Well said, 2.  #+ :toast4:

 :toast4:

 #+, to you sir. I have to tell you we could not have had any better representation than you both. I agree this has been a place that Sc started, and all of you guys/ladies have made a place that I am glad for my grandkids to read. God Bless CRS! RTR!

You couldn't be more right 2, well said. :clap: :D :pray:
