bounder Posted May 25, 2021 Report Share Posted May 25, 2021 Sad news must travel slowly as LOD .. Mike Skidmore passed away. LOD was a big supporter and critic of Riverdale football. And he has been known to voice his opinion on some other schools or topics. I met him at a playoff game years ago between Oak Ridge and Riverdale, I was doing a rib dinner fundraiser for the boosters and he had some thus the reference about my ribs all these years. He was a good friend and I'm gonna miss him .... Goodby Old Friend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilleTheWildcat Posted May 26, 2021 Report Share Posted May 26, 2021 It is people like Mr. Skidmore and Papa Bounder that show us how real fans support teams. My best to his family and friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridayMainEvent Posted May 26, 2021 Report Share Posted May 26, 2021 Glad you started this thread, @bounder! He was very popular on these boards and yes, very opinionated. I think that was one reason I respected him so much. He was gonna tell it like it was. Riverdale lost one of their biggest supporters, but heaven gained a great football fan, excellent father, and good overall individual. RIP LOD!

MSURacer Posted May 26, 2021 Report Share Posted May 26, 2021 It’s been a sad year for the T. Rest In Peace to both LOD and KWC. I only hope they can find one another somewhere beyond to talk football and maybe b**** a little about politics. Rest In Peace, Mike. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardtackle Posted May 26, 2021 Report Share Posted May 26, 2021 (edited) LOD was a great contributor to coacht with his posts. He will be missed. I enjoyed going back and forth with him. Edited May 26, 2021 by hardtackle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaze45 Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 (edited) LOD was a lot of things to a lot of people. It has been said that a mans passing often brings out a lot about how he lived. LOD was more than any thread will ever capture, any Riverdale debate, or commentary of the goings on here in Rutherford county.... Yes he was a husband, a father and a Riverdale fan to the bone... but above all he was a highly favored child of God. Love you brother, rest well, you ran one heck of a race!
