Re: Anyone Remember Clem Griscoe?
He was a great man and knew more inside scoop on Alabama football than anyone. He had great stories but was also a great story teller. He could also be very kind. Case in point, my son had sort of a gofer job around the athletic department while he was in undergrad. One night he was doing the chores you'd expect at a dinner for former football players -- handing out name tags, giving directions, making sure the microphones were working, etc. Each table at the dinner had a coach seated at it. As the preliminaries wound up and the dinner started to get underway, my son was done with his duties and was ducking out the door to head back to his apartment. Coach Gryska stopped him, insisted he fill in the empty seat at his table, and let him listen to Alabama football stories for the evening.
