R.I.P. Tim Clifford

That ‘79 Holiday Bowl victory he starred in over previously undefeated BYU was one of the epic IU football games in a short list of epic games, historically.

I expect a moment of silence at Saturday’s game in his memory.

Tim is the only IU QB I can recall who adorned his upper lip with a mustache.

Men with mustaches have a natural bond with one another. There’s a left-eyed wink we give each other upon passing, a good for you/good for me sort of acknowledgement. I’ve been a mustache wearer for 53 continuous years now. The same goes for those who wear bolo ties only its merely a head nod in mutual respect. I wear a bolo tie only on special occasions and will be sporting mine at Saturday’s game, in honor of Tim and his ‘79 reunion team. So, if you’re at the game and see a mustached dude with a bolo tie and big, shit-eating grin on face, please introduce yourself while offering me a cold beer.

I really appreciated how he played the game. Passed on the eve of the team's reunion. Very sad.
