I still have the watch they gave him. He passed away July 4 this year. He would have dug this rematch.

It is framed and hanging on a wall in his pool room.

Has his name and Clemson v. LSU engraved on the back. It quit working when I was a kid but I got it repaired for him for his fiftieth birthday. He gave it to me about 10 years ago.
