I vividly remember the day that Sascha came to our home. It was Saturday, September 14, 2013, and it was the day of the much-anticipated Alabama at Texas Tech game. For Tide fans like me, it was revenge day on “Johnny Football”. Sascha was a 5-month-old, shepherd/huskie mix, who was found wandering the back country roads of northern Alabama after apparently being dumped. Later that evening, she witnessed her first game of APBA Football and was most curious about the dice. It was game 188 of my 2011 NFL replay and from that moment on she never missed a game.

We have become inseparable partners over the last decade and have logged a lot of miles and rolled 20 full season replays together. I’ve always joked that she forgot more about APBA Football than most folks ever knew. Today she makes her way to the “Rainbow Bridge” and will be forever missed.
