Title: RIP Dee Dowis
Post by: PanhandleVol on August 30, 2016, 04:12:44 EDT
For those who remember I am an Air Force veteran. Dee was an electric Quarterback at the AF Academy in the Eighties and was a lot of fun to watch in those days. Dee was killed early Tuesday morning in a traffic accident. He was 48. :patriot:

Did he play in the '89 Liberty Bowl?  I kinda remember seeing him in action on the field....

Arguably the best player in AF history.  IIRC, he led them to a couple top 5 finishes.
