  • Mini Episode: Butch Harris Tribute, UAB Super Fan 1962-2021
    Sep 25 2023

    For this episode I pay tribute to the biggest UAB fan of all time, my dad Morris "Butch" Harris. Sadly, my dad passed away two years ago before I could have him on the podcast to share his stories as a UAB fan, so I thought I'd share some of them and my best sports memories with him. I also received some shared memories from his longtime friend and fellow UAB fan, Steve Rutherford. Thanks for listening. Go Blazers!
