Late last night, scrolling through social media, I had heard the rumors and seen the stories. A two-car crash in Auburn, Alabama was said to have involved Rod Bramblett, the ‘Voice of the Auburn Tigers’ and his wife Paula.
This cannot be true, this cannot be true, I thought to myself. The storyline was shocking. The moments after were heartbreaking. A couple hours passed and it was confirmed that Rod and Paula had passed away due to injury in the tragic accident. One of the great play-by-play announcers in college athletics, gone in a matter of moments.
I never met Rod, Paula or the Bramblett family.
