As I create this 150th post on BoBA, I would like to ask that you hold a moment of silence for someone special. Weeks after lead singer for Boston Brad Delp passed away, and a few days after the Virginia Beach Mariners folded, the winningest coach in NCAA Division I FCS football history, Eddie Robinson, died at the age of 88 due to Alzheimer's Disease.
He was perhaps one of the greatest coaches, if not the best ever, in Black College Football. Grambling State University won many National Championships under Coach Robinson, and he was a proud supporter of the game after he finished his coaching days with 408 wins to his credit, a record that stoood until Coach John Gagliardi eclipsed it years later with the Johnnies of St. John's in Division III.
He lived a long, proud, rich, accomplished life, and BoBA, along with its sister blogs Love and Liberty II on SeiyaUsagi.net, Love and Liberty Lite on TagWorld, and Bedlam on MySpace Boulevard on MySpace, saluted Coach Robinson for his contributions to the game of American Football...and to life.
Rest in peace.
