I was a big Gallagher fan as a kid and young teenager. I did not even know what USF was and did not know he was an alumnus until after I graduated. While he was known for the Sledge-o-Matic, I remember watching several of his cable specials, and he got into complex comedy like poking fun at whomever was notable in politics. That was back in the 70's and 80's when a comedian could poke fun at politicians and no one would get their undies in a bunch over it because you were desecrating someone from "their team"
Unless I missed it, it was too bad that USF did not acknowledge his passing at the game, even if he had nothing to do with USF sports. I would hope USF in general would make some type of statement, even something from The Oracle would be nice.
