This is such a sad story. Did anyone else look at the org chart and notice that his son is a dealer, as well?

I attended the first round of the NCAAs in Dayton in 1973. MU beat Miami (Oh) in the first game and James "The Fly" Williams and Austin Peay played in the nightcap against Jacksonville. "Open up the fly and let's go Peay" won 77-75 behind Fly's 26 points.

Still one of my favorite chants/signs of all time.
Sad ending.
