I’ve loved the Packers since the day I was born, but I’ve had nothing but respect for Bud Grant, as a coach and as a man. What a legend. RIP.

95 is a great run, we can only hope for that nowadays. RIP Bud, I wasn't around when you were an active presence in the sports scene but truly Minnesotan through and through.

Bud won 9 letters as a Gopher. Freshmen were not eligible when he was in school or he most likely would have had 12 letters as a Gopher.

Great athlete and coach. RIP, Bud.

An icon and role model. Bud WAS archetypical Minnesotan to me. Damn.

Skol Bud!!

and no super bowl wins.

So the same amount of super bowl wins as your son got P5 offers? Cool, go take your garbage to a different thread.

RIP Bud

The coolest Bud fact is that he won an NBA championship as a player.

Ok, now your are BFF with this 100 year old coach? and you act like you know me because I comment on this occasionally. OK.

There's a line between BFF and not feeling the need to point out his lack of super bowl wins in the thread about his death. I don't know you personally but I know enough about you to know you contribute very little to this board, and this is just another example.

Your right every football fan in Minnesota loves this coach, your right. He coached like 50 years ago, and when I look back on his record, despite using the weather as an advantage, he never won a super bowl. At least he got us to a few, I will give him credit for that.

What DO you enjoy? You sound miserable.

Anyone who didn’t know anything about you before knows enough now. Despite your clever machinations your son didn’t make it here. Move along to another board.

As if we needed another reminder that the world is littered with bitter assholes. You sir, have won the daily Participation Medal that will look nice hanging on the wall next you your son's.

Why would you go onto a U of M football board where you know that Bud Grant is alum and act like a complete ass clown? There are times where it means more to be classy by not saying anything vs. running your mouth. Show some respect or go back to Wisconsin.
