  • Wow sad to hear. Grant helped out the Hydrants for a season many years ago in the UTFL when we were stuck without a QB. He was a very intense guy on the field and fairly mellow off of it. I enjoyed running all the short routes and never having to worry about stretching my legs on a fly when Grant was at the controls. I do remember Grant constantly running a no huddle offence with us and yelling B&B at us. To this day I still have no idea what the call on the field was but I guess it didn't matter because somehow he still managed to get us the ball. My condolences to his kids and especially his son who I know played along side of his father the last couple of years. B&B sir. B&B. Darren
