    I used to get annoyed when he called in but eventually I realized how happy it made him and almost felt like I got to know him a bit even if I only met him once. Glad he got one more good football season though truth be told he probably never had a bad one

    I was about to post this same thing. Before I grew up and stopped being a man child, he used to annoy the crap out of me. Then I too realized how happy he was to just be talking sports.

    This sucks

    Ya i came to love him on Basilio. The story of Basilio giving him a ride to something, getting him fed, and driving him home and then asking him who is favorite radio host was in Knoxville... Jimmy Hyams! Honest through and through, Roger is a tennessee legend and I won't be forgetting him.

    Also the stories of him putting away like 60 McNuggets at a time

    I think Tony B did a great job giving him both a hard time and all the time in the world. Good soul he was. He is restored now but will be missed. Thank you Roger for loving the Vols

    Any plugged in Tennessee fan knew of the legend that was Roger. I have a pretty good guess as to who was the first caller on Hatfield's sports radio show somewhere in the Sky this week.
