I always thought he was a student or young alumni.
And he always was and always will be.
RIP Blue!

I'm very sorry to hear that. He was a good man that went to the beat of a different drummer. He was unique and one of the posters I really dug here. He was in the The 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) ("Screaming Eagles") an air assault infantry division of the United States Army that specializes in air assault operations. He served in Vietnam. Thank you for your service and Rest in Peace, Blueblood.

He had unique taste in images to append to posts and opinions. Probably deserves a "best of" retrospective.

Given the date you posted I'm pretty sure I knew of him beyond this board.
Rest in peace. If it's who I think; truly one of the last of his breed much like my grandfather.
A true example of that generation of blues. Dedication to Cal, Service to Country, and an almost fanatical obsession with music, and an unapologetic vocal opposition to the maga disease that infected our country even as they lived in the reddest of areas.
Rest in peace.
It's true we have no idea who we are "talking to" online. And let's all be honest, Blueblood mixed it up a lot, and I think I had a couple of run ins, but we were mostly good. We imagined a guy on the internet in the basement (he shared nothing about his private life for us to know any better), but no he is a guy with a background befitting of a movie. Go figure. Thank you Mrs. Blueblood for giving us a window into the great man he was.zorbarick said:
My condolences.
Thank you so much for taking the time to post this detailed history. So many of us spend so much time on the internet as fictitious names/avatars, and we often never know the real people behind the faade. I'm really glad to have read Blueblood's story, and will miss his posts.

Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
I am the cannon blast after a TD.
I am the Bear fan's reverie.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there; I did not die.
- Adapted from Mary Elizabeth Frye
Rest in peace, Blue Blood!

I suspect I am not the only one to be surprised when I first found out blueblood was a Boomer and not Gen X. Even after that revelation, it was hard not to still have that "in the basement" image.

My posting history goes way back to the formative days of .org. Any of you that have been on this board for as long are likely familiar with the nature of that interaction in the early years. So there is too rich a history for me to find a favorite post.
It evolved over time, and about eight years ago a paradigm shift occurred. I never met the man, and I will regret that oversight for many years to come.
Back in the early days of .org, I described blueblood as a dog running around our Cyberbears yard, barking at everyone and everything, crapping all over the lawn, and humping any stranger's leg who dared enter our yard. But he was OUR barking, crapping, leg humping dog, and TrojanAl and stanfurdobserver could eat a sack of Richard's if they didn't like it.
From his wife's post we have learned some of the details about the man behind the handle, and for that I will always be grateful.
I plan to poor one out for blueblood at 2:00 pm on August 31, before our beloved Golden Bears oink the Aggies.
