Blackie Sherrod Died?-I Didn't Even Know He Was Still Alive

Postby Stallion » Thu Apr 28, 2016 9:35 pm

Once the Dallas Cowboys came along he pretty much ignored SMU setting the tone for Dallas media

When momentum starts rolling downhill in recruiting-WATCH OUT.

But I still read his column religiously as a kid growing up.

Had the exact same thought as the title of this thread, Stallion. I could've sworn he had passed at least ten or fifteen years ago. It's interesting to occasionally come across one of us older guys who start a sentence with the word "scattershooting."

Heh,

I too loved reading the "scattershooting" growing up, and yes, I too assumed he had died long ago.

This is one of the rare cases when you are shocked at someone still being alive rather than that they died. He was a heavy smoker and drinker too for most of his life. Props to making to 96 with that going on and RIP.
Probaly won't happen...BUT...maybe it will!!

Scattershooting was awesome. I looked forward to that every week.

I used to deliver the Dallas Times Herald (on my Sears Moped) and I enjoyed reading Blackie's columns in the paper as I was folding the issues prior to delivery every afternoon.

Back in the day, remembering the DMN and the DTH battling it out for newspaper supremacy...Bob St. John, Bill McClanahan, Sam Blair, Blackie, and a newcomer Randy Galloway. Good times.

Rest in peace, William.
