That is sad to hear.  Before I left town, I sat near **** Fletcher at football games....he wore a personalized Bulls football jersey.

Was he an alumnus?

According to the **** Fletcher entry in Wikipedia:

Fletcher, a native of Omaha, Nebraska, graduated from the University of Omaha in 1964.

This from the Channel 10 news site:

Fletcher holds a Bachelor's of Science degree from the University of Nebraska at Omaha and a Certificate of Broadcast Meteorology from Mississippi State University. He has done advanced studies in College of Marine Science at the University of South Florida.

No idea about his connections w/ USF, (even that he went to football games/had a personalized jersey). Channel 10 dedicated their noon news to him today and did the whole half-hour about him. Even had John Wilson from Channel 13 come on to talk about him.
