This past weekend, former Samford football players, coaches and staff that played for, were recruited by or coached under either Coach Kim Alsop or Terry Bowden gathered in Birmingham for a reunion many years in the making. One person who was, unfortunately, unable to attend was Alsop, who brought the Samford football program back from scratch in 1984 after more than 10 years without a program. Alsop, who coached the team from 1984-86, passed away on Dec. 26, 2020, at the age of 87.
