I feel sort of bad saying this but when I first heard this news yesterday I was sort of surprised because for some reason I was thinking that he had already passed away a few years ago.
One thing I that sticks out about Eddie Robinson to me is that my dad (who was an absolute jackass, abusive bastard, and racist prick) told me about him when I was a little kid. I remember him telling me that there were two football coaches that he really admired; Ara Parseghian and Eddie Robinson. It didn't really hit me until mom & dad had divorced and I was in Jr. High and actually found out who Robinson was that my dad had actually given someone of a different race a compliment. Not sure why that popped into my mind but ............ it did.
