GP1 Posted November 12, 2008 Report Posted November 12, 2008 Virgil Starks was a GA on the football team when I played. Along with a guy named Chris Ball, now secondary coach at Washington State, made a great pair. There was another guy named Rusty Bourne who never got into coaching after Akron and has sort of vanished. Virgil and Rusty went to college together at Rhodes College in Tennessee.Virgil spent many years at UofA in departments other than Athletics. Some of you may remember him as the graduatioin marshal who used to yell at everyone on graduation day for not being able to line up correctly in Memorial Hall.The last time I saw Virgil was with his wife (an Akron native) at Annabells (sp?) at Highland Square a couple of days before their move to Alabama. He was in great spirits.This is sad news. Quote
