The man who waved the referee shirt has died

[seashore]

All those years at Freedom Hall and a few at Yum.

Great memories.

He will be missed.

Stewart ????. His last name isn't coming to me. He called on me and sold speciality candies for years. He was a true Louisville fan. He used to jump out of his seat at FH and run down a few steps and wave the stripes.

Thanks for posting, I remember him from games but never knew anything about him. I read his obituary that you posted and he had a very active and involved lifestyle he will be missed by a lot of people.

Was he the older man who would also wave a towel at bad referee calls?

Seeing him wave that referee shirt will be a lasting memory of Freedom Hall for a long long time for me.

Going way back to 1980--any idea what happened to the "Unknown Musician", or the dude in a tux who IMO started the whole C-A-R-D-S cheer?

RIP

And don't forget the guy who ran back and forth in the endzone to the band spelling out C-A-R-D-S.

No seats for these folks at the new arena, at least not where they can be seen...

That's because we live in a more shirt tolerant society these days.

Sounds like he lived a great life and was a great fan.
