Lost one of the all-time great Mountaineers on Tuesday as Jack Branch passed away in Winston-Salem.

I can't write the words that do the man justice. Instead I'll post the first what I'm sure will be scores of tributes pouring in over the next few days and weeks.

And just know, there's a reason why the Appalachian Athletics Center is located at 425 Jack Branch Drive.

A great one...and I rarely use that word.

Steve did a good job on this story.
