Leonard's Losers... What happened to Leonard?

[Patently Bama]

I love this guy's take on things, even when he is picking against us he makes it entertaining. This week he says:

South Carolina vs Alabama

The Big Red Herd stomp over to the Williams-Brice Poultry Plant this weekend to continue their march to Atlanta.

Waiting for them will be Captain Cluck and his Barnyard Bosses. Captain Cluck almost got a battlefield promotion last week in his war against the Red Clay Hounds of Georgia.

This week he will get another chance to become Lieutenant-Commander Cluck.

But despite how fierce the Columbia Cluckers have been so far this year, they won't be able to fly out of the way of the Tuscaloosa Tuskers.

Leonard died a few years ago. Anyone remember who is making the picks now? Is it his son?

Sounds to me that he is picking Bama to win....its called Leonard's Losers. He picks the team he thinks will lose.

Leonard "Post-Toasties"...

did indeed die several years ago and his son did take over - I don't know if he's stayed at the helm. Nobody had a way with preposterous words like Leonard...

It was a special part of being a football fan in The South to listen to Leonard's Losers.

If you know the original Leonards' name, would enjoy having that bit of info. Thanks

His site is a permanent link in the Bama Team News just in case anyone wants to listen to it each week. Somehow listening to the show takes me back to when his father did the show and I used to listen to it on the radio all the time way back when. The show is no longer carried on the radio. You can only get his show from his website. Here are the links to this weeks show and his LOSER pick from his smart pill machine.

Leonard was a genuine hoot to hear when he was alive and on the air. He indeed was a fun part of fall football life in the South. His bombastic predictions were unique and sometimes accurate. A sad passage. His son carried on the show, but it's just not the same.

I can still hear him: "Get me outta here, Percy!!!!" :biggrin:

:biga2:

Leonard's Losers...

Leonard's son sounds like his ole Dad. I do like listening to his comical way of predicting a game.

 

[SouthBaman]

Good memories, indeed. I never knew that he was a UGA grad...

From the University of Georgia Class Notes, Grad Notes, and Obituaries 9/2001, far right side of the page about a third of the way down:

Leonard Postero (1922-2001) was a winner picking losers

leonard's losers, and John Forney made 'pre-TV' ALABAMA football special on Saturday mornings and afternoons in the fall.

 

[alatider]

Ditto. Gosh I miss them.

 

[LTBamaFan]

I think he jokingly called himself Leonard Posttoasties or something similar. I miss hearing his radio predictions.

 

[BAMMAR]

What happened to Leonard?

Where's leonard's losers? I used to love to read those predictions. I like them a lot better than corso.

 

[TideBeliever]

Post Toasties is Postmortem. His son now runs the website with the same type of predictions.
