Sir Creep 7,011 Posted March 13, 2016 Former Vanderbilt University football Coach George McIntyre died after a 20-year fight against Multiple Sclerosis. But of NOTE just below that sentence is THIS gem: "This week former Vanderbilt and Chicago Bears quarterback Bill Wade died. Both men had been living in the same assisted living facility. I first saw Wade at a Billy Graham crusade in my hometown of Johnson City. I was a young kid, but I instantly liked Wade and the message he gave that night." Now that isn't just kismet my friends! I suggest you ALL go back and switch your votes for 5th death of 2016 to Graham. IT'S A SIGN! SirC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
