One lived to 80 and had three kids. The other lived to 85 and had four children. And this quick look online tells me that a man who died at 85 in 1983, in my lifetime, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.findagrave.com\/cgi-bin\/fg.cgi?page=gr&#038;GRid=35273531\" target=\"_blank\">knew his grandfather<\/a>, who fought at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nps.gov\/civilwar\/search-battle-units-detail.htm?battleUnitCode=UIN0124RI\" target=\"_blank\">Kennesaw and Nashville and against Hood in Georgia and Alabama<\/a>. That man, in my lifetime, could probably recall his grandfather who fought in the Civil War on land I know fairly well. <\/p>\n<p>So it is a small world, I guess.

Just as the tournament begin, his tenure ended. He&#8217;d gone to the Sweet Sixteen last year, indeed, three of the last six years he&#8217;d been there, and he won the conference championship twice.
