Rebel Nation Remembers Stan Sandroni
9/11/2014 | Football, Blog
Rebel Nation goes into its home opener Saturday excited for the return of football at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium, but also saddened by the loss of one of its most renowned voices.
Stan Sandroni, 64, passed away of a heart attack late Wednesday. In his 26th season with the Ole Miss Radio Network, he handled the football sideline reports and Locker Room Show until his passing. He touched the lives of so many people.
So saddened to hear of the loss of Stan Sandroni. A wonderful Rebel & better man. Prayers to Glenda, Christopher & all of RebelNation.
