I know from previous posts about the Baltimore Colts and Don Shula, etc. that some of you here were huge fans of the Colts and of Alex. He passed away 2 days ago and the SEC Network is doing something on him before the SC/Ky game at 7:30. His son is one of my best friends and stories about Alex, (Captain Who), are legendary. Please tune in if you are able. The Captain Who nickname story is awesome. The mighty Colts are playing the Jets and Joe Namath in the Super Bowl. Shula made Alex the special teams captain. The captains meet at mid-field before kickoff, the ref says "Captain Namath, this is Captain Unitas- Captain Berry , this is Captain Snell, Captain Mackey, this is Captain Boozer, Captain Who? When it came to Alex. The nickname stuck. Captain Who is no longer with us. Say a prayer.
