sure was a sad one. R.I.P brother Jim. I sure miss your calls..

[Tiger Wench]

Sat in my office and cried like a baby.  No one out here could understand why his loss tore me up so much.  Some things you just cannot explain.

Everytime I listen to his calls the damn dust around my my computer gets stirred up.

Found this little jewel yesterday. FFW 2:40 for the game action

Damn your hide.  Now I got mascara all over my face.

God bless Jim.

Eleven and 0! Eleven and 0! Eleven And 0!!!

That may be my favorite call of his!

Here was my experience with Jim Fyffe:

Spring 2003 - Accepted into Auburn. 

June 2003 - Camp War Eagle - Lots of talk about a guy named Jim dying.  I have no idea who he was.

Late August 2003 - It's announced that the opening football game will pay tribute to a guy named Jim
Fyffe.  Neighbor at The Commons breaks into tears when recalling a story about a radio show.

September 2003 - My first college football game ever.  Some fat male cheerleader with orange hair says that one side of the stadium will be touchdown and the other side will be Auburn.  I think the student section was the Auburn side.  It was to honor that guy named Jim who died doing his radio show.  Everyone around me was super stoked and drunk about how we were going to get to make the radio guy's touchdown call. 

September 2003 - We don't score a touchdown the first two games of the season. 

September 2003 - I wonder why the radio host named Jim cursed Auburn. 

Sorry to all the old guys that are about to shake their canes at me.

Get off my lawn, punk

[Snaggletiger]

I read his book and lol'd at so many stories.  There was one in particular where on the morning of game day, I believe it was against Florida State, Fyffe was having breakfast and sitting at a table next to him were two FSU assistant coaches.  They didn't know who he was and were talking about how they were going to blow everyone away with the very first play on offense, running some crazy double reverse or something.  Fyffe said as soon as breakfast was over, he went straight to the Auburn coaches and told what he overheard.  He was right.  They ran the play and Auburn stuffed it for a huge loss.

That's a shame.  He was such a part of my Auburn experience.

[War Eagle!!!]

That's a shame.  He was such a part of my Auburn experience.

Yep.

Listening to him on the radio was a huge part of that experience...

[AU_Tiger_2000]

That's a shame.  He was such a part of my Auburn experience.

I didn't realize how great he was until '93.  No TV, no tickets, only option you had was Fyffe.

Even outside of that year, we used to always turn down the TV and turn up the radio to hear Fyffe.

I'm sure we weren't the only ones to do so.

It's as much the context of hearing him, the time and place, as it is the actual call.

This guy knows. It's hard to replicate.
