    Lee Roy Selmon always impressed me and was loved in the community, much too young to die at 56...

    I remember him when he played for Ok. and then the Bucs. A beast of a D lineman.
    There was a tribute to him yesterday before the ND game.

    There was an article about the game yesterday that said that he'd become a fan of the USF program and was planing on coming to the game to see them play. Supposedly before the game the USF President gave a talk to the players about winning the game to honor Selmon and of course everybody could see the #63 on the back of the USF helmets to honor him.
