It’s been a tough week outside of covering Ole Miss Athletics for this blog with life and what not going on. But, this news made it even tougher to put it in words.
Homer E. “Billy” Brewer, 83, who played quarterback for Johnny Vaught from 1957-1960 and coached the Rebs for over a decade, passed away last Saturday afternoon following a brief illness that he had been fighting for quite some time.
I didn’t know Coach Brewer. He was before my time. But, in my first few years on this planet, I do remember his last few teams that wore the Red and Blue.
