Don Grider Interview

Thought this was pretty neat. Cool flashback.

Man, that was back when we opened the season with Greenback.  WEPG stopped carrying the Pirates live for a couple of seasons and they were doing a "Game of the Week" format instead.  Dale Pruitt was at Jasper (and everyone still referred to Jeremy as Dale's son instead of now when they call Dale Jeremy's dad).

Is Dave still with us?  I remember sitting in on a few episodes with him.  He was a good guy.

Also, former CoachT legend "Possum" makes an appearance on the video.

I thought so but I couldn't remember.  I remember listening to him back in the 80s on the radio and he always had a great voice for it.

I noticed Possum. He has passed away also.

Possum passed away a few years ago far too soon, but as far as I know Dave Williams is still with us. I saw him a few months ago at a restaurant.

It’s fun to watch those old videos and hear Coach Grider speak. That voice was always easily recognizable.

He didn't have a 3 day old bag of stale popcorn.
