Anyone out there know what the black arm band that Lopes, Valentine and that other guy are wearing today are for?

The other guy is Pat Adams. I didn't notice an arm band and have no idea why they would be wearing one.

did someone pass away?

Everyday, somebody passes away.

That is a good point, but not exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks for the words of wisdom.

Hmmmm... I wonder if this is some kind of statement about the firing of conference officiating coordinator John Gutherie.

Didn't Guthrie kind of write his own ticket out?

Bill Cosby: "You know who died today? Loooooooooooot o' people."

Brad Davis, the SEC Associate Commissioner, died last week. I imagine that's where the black armbands come in.

Why would the finals crew be the only group to recognize Mr. Davis's death?

JB, I don't have a clue. I was guessing about the armbands anyway. I don't know for sure if that was the reason that they were wearing them.
