Remembering Rankman today and every day ❤️. Archive of Rose Bowl memorial from that picture perfect day in Oct 2021: urlday.cc/RememberingRankman
A message to @DufRankman followers from the Dufresne Family ❤️
We thank you and have taken great comfort in your @DufRankman tributes and eloquent reflections. We hope to celebrate his life with you in 2021. We have established a sports journalism scholarship in his memory at Cal State Fullerton. give.fullerton.edu/dufresnes…
I’m glad you’re sure! Thanks for the pick-me-upper but you don’t know the blue state I’m in (another brilliantly turned double meaning phrase from a pro’s pro, ha)
I am a 62 year old sportswriter with a history of asthma wondering: will I ever attend another live sporting event? Am I an "Expendable," a superhero with a mask but no powers or a cape? #Covid_19 @HerbGould @MrCFB @blauds @SInow .si.com/college/tmg/chris-duf…
Always a pleasure!
One hour that includes 30 minutes with @JFeinsteinBooks and 30 with @DufRankman is as good as it gets on this program. Thank you, gentlemen, for your sharp insights, analysis and humor. #TheCGP @940ESPN

I think the SEC is all-IN.
As more and more schools announce that students will return to campus this Fall, it opens the door for football. Is it too early to be optimistic that the season will start on time?

Another small point on not playing FB without school in session. Q-system teams in Pac sometimes play FOUR games before classes start. One-third of schedule

You mean these Dawgs I met in parking lot before the game? What a day. #RoseBowl
We don't know when we'll see college football again. Until then, let's give thanks for the memories it has given us.

When college sports--specifically college football--return, things are going to be different.
