Walter's Bio

My love of the game came from watching Monday night football with my dad and going to Bama games during the end of the Bryant era when my older sister was at Alabama. I played high school football myself and wanted to play in college but wasn't recruited. I enrolled at Alabama at only 17 years old in 1984 and was still developing physically. I decided to walk on the football team once but got very ill before winter training and had to drop out. I started playing rugby for Alabama that fall to get into shape for another shot but wound up getting seriously injured doing that so at that point I had to just stick to the books and be a fan.

Today I make my living as a computer programmer and live in Argo Alabama.

  1. Hey, great preview for LSU. It's the best I've read on any site.

  2. I don't get that way often except for the occasional motorcycle trip. If I'm ever headed down I'll have to let you know. As for the picture. I felt compelled to blur out the girls face. She is a family woman and her kids have no clue what a party animal she once was. The other is a businessman of some note in the Birmingham area but I figured he was disguised well enough.

    I still can't believe its been 25 years since my freshman year.

  3. That picture of you is priceless.... You seem like the kind of guy I'd love to drop by if you're in Panama City Beach for a drink! I like your writing too... I can tell it's gonna be fun with you around.....
