The passing of the I-AA legend was the top story in '06.:bawling:

Yes I know it is FCS, but when the sories were reported we were still I-AA.

The Savannah Morning News also remembered Coach Russell in choosing a political cartoon by their artist, Mark Streeter, as one of their top cartoons for 2006.
