    And his late Bro in Law was a kicker at USM.

    Ray Guy was a hell of a good golfer too. He ran into some tough times later in life but he's a HOF in my book.

    My buddy down in the Dixie community Ms took a picture of Ray in 2020. I have that pic but don?t know how to post it.

    My buddy said he saw Ray punt in a game at USM. He said the punt went out of the stadium. RIP Ray Guy

    I thought it landed inside the 1? I've seen footage of it and it's hilarious because you see the Ole Miss return guy on the 50 or something like that and he just starts running backwards and the camera is just panning down the field.

    Ray was a good football player and a great guy but his greatness will be remembered as a punter. Patrick led the SEC in punting one year and was a great one for us. He was the QB for Biloxi High and played against the great Gulfport team lead by Melvin Barkum who won the state title that year. Patrick passed away way to early.

    Not sure if there's any truth to this but I had always heard that Ray Guy mixed the football with 6.5 lbs of oxygen and 6.5 lbs of Helium ... which wasn't illegal because at the time the rules only said 13lbs of "air" pressure ... Then the NFL had to modify / clarify the rule to get around that .... Again, I don't know if it's true but that has stuck with me for a long time. I've reached that age where I have to question my memory on EVERYTHING

    Melvin was a great QB at Gulfport, Commodores. That was in the late 60's right after integration. Not very common having a black QB then.
