If you're not familiar with Coffee, he was featured a few years ago on a report about "Superfans." He's attended every Bama football game since 1946.

I want to say it was number 700, I can't remember, but I was at a game a few years back when a group of cheerleaders went up into his section and presented him with a game ball to commemorate the mark. I think it was number 700.

I know he got to see a lot, but I'm glad he ended up seeing Bama finish on top, and beating Notre Dame for the Championship. He certainly deserved it. Roll Tide to you Sir.

Thought about Texas as well...but the Notre Dame win came to mind right off the bat.

A Texas game would have been the first bowl game he would have attended—loss in the Sugar Bowl.

Mr. Coffee saw Bama shutout 32 times. How bad were the Whitworth years? ELEVEN of those shutouts were in those 3 years. There have been only 11 more in the FIFTY FIVE years since then.

He will be greatly missed, but I know when it's kickoff time in Atlanta in Aug he will be standing right next to the Bear looking down and still cheering us on!!!!

The scope of Dick Coffee's achievement reached to Canada and Bama fans up here who knew of his celebrated fandom. He will be missed but his legacy will live on. There will never be another. R.I.P Mr. Coffee.
