    I was 5 years old during the heyday of Luv Ya Blue. I still have an old photo of me wearing a Oiler Blue jacket. Even at 5 years old I could remember all the hoopla and fun. Great times.
    RIP

    That thread needs to be moved or merged. Bum was an Oiler, not a Texan... and he meant more to the city and non-football fans than any coach ever.

    He will be greatly missed.... When I saw the thread title I was so hoping it was going to be about something else. This is sad news.

    That sucks. He is such a big part of football history for Houston. Too bad he couldn't get the Oilers a championship back in those days with Earl Campbell running the ball. I remember those days as a kid and those are my earliest football memories when growing up in Houston. He was definitely a character...the urban cowboy of coaches. Who can forget that stupid Oilers song from those years to go with that era? lol.

    He's coaching in Heaven now, ya'll. RIP

    Damn. I'll miss Bum, and I still miss the Oilers. Rest in peace, coach.
