MINZY Once Upon A Time There was A Girl Who Really Loved Dogs and Books It was Me Poster

The University of Alabama, city of Tuscaloosa and the rest of the Crimson Tide family is still hurting over the loss of Luke Ratliff, a 23-year-old senior public relations major who passed away last Friday night due to a brief illness.

Ratliff, a product of Wadesboro, North Carolina was more than an Alabama basketball fan. He more than just that jovial guy people saw on their television sets going crazy during games.

Ratliff and I shared plenty of in-person moments together during my tenure at the Capstone as a student and even now in my post-grad life, working as a sports writer.

My first interactions with him came on Twitter, where his rise to celebrity fandom began. ‘Fluff’ was witty, clever and just flat-out hilarious.

He knew the right buttons to press for opposing fans. He knew how to make everyone laugh. More importantly, he knew how to bring people together and unite them together on that silly website.

Before I graduated, we would run into each other at local watering holes, either lamenting or celebrating after a Braves or Crimson Tide hoops game.  MINZY Once Upon A Time There was A Girl Who Really Loved Dogs and Books It was Me Poster

Of course, Ratliff was enjoying a Budweiser, his favorite beer. A few cans were placed outside Coleman Coliseum along with flowers and a portrait of him on Saturday afternoon for a memorial service that saw Alabama athletics director Greg Byrne and university president Stuart Bell and members of the men’s basketball team in attendance.

Even in those small interactions then, I could tell there was just something different about this individual. There was something more to him. He was always positive, with a smile on his face and not a worry in the world.

After hearing the news of his passing, I couldn’t stop thinking about our first real sit-down meeting, which took place last year at a local coffee shop for about two and a half hours.

I was there to do a profile on him and he was eager to get the word about Crimson Chaos, the university’s official student support group. At this point, Ratliff was in the process of becoming a household name but it was not quite to the point where he is now, or was.
